how easy it is to re-order in such a cramped space (maybe the headers need to be a bit shorter; can we also try some kind of wider rearranging mode?),
toying with a separate sub-"panel" just for widget areas, as melchoyce linked to (which was a demo on shaunandrews' site I think)
westonruter: michaelarestad: I know I brought it up in the meeting on Wednesday; maybe shaunandrews has also been playing with this?
And:
at the meeting, I think I proposed three different ideas: 1) general padding/height adjustments to make it feel less cramped (some of this already happened and looks good!), 2) taking over the preview area for the purposes of reordering and moving between widget areas with ease, 3) using the sub-panel idea to push all widgets groups into their own pane (so, http://www.shaunandrews.com/themes/new-customizer/).
obviously, the latter two are more off-the-wall ideas
