a) in case always visible, to let the left panel/launcher cover the whole
left edge of the screen and the dash button moved the to the top left
corner. Let the top( the one with the global menu) bar come under the left
panel rather above. The control button will be not below the the dash
button but moved a bit, equal to the width of left panel/launcher, to the
right and they will be on the corner of the maximized window.

b)in case launcher is set to dodge, We let the top bar cover the whole top
edge and move the window control button to the top left.  It also works
fine because when somebody invokes the left launcher then, in my personal
thinking, he won't be using window control button. So, if they goes below
the left panel for those moments when launcher is revealed, nothing goes
wrong.

I hope I am not missing something important.
