> Adding more bright blue is definitely not a good idea IMO. And adding a dynamic preview resize bar is out of scope for what we’re doing here, that would be a fairly major feature to add, that we’ve never had.

The bright blue was just a placeholder – I’d likely make this thinner, grey, and with a nicer icon. 😉 And it shouldn’t be resizable – just a collapser. Something along these lines is probably a bit more subtle:

> Yes, but that’s still a sizable change

Not overly so, I think – it’s mainly changing the location of the “hide preview” link in the DOM, and some minor CSS styling. 😉

From a user’s perspective, though, it is quite a large change, because rather than things just looking a little prettier, things will _move_ – and so there could be some initial confusion.
