[Mono-winforms-list] Is this possible with a winform?

[Stifu]

What are the benefits of having the right panel be out of the main window?
Can it be moved independently or something? What would happen when
maximizing the app (unless you disabled maximizing)?

Wouldn't it be easier to just have the panel *inside* the main form, docked
right?
Or even as a thin top bar, so the width of the picture is never a problem.
