Improving Touchscreen-Friendliness

In Window Manager
settings, changing the theme to Default-hdpi
or Default-xhdpi
will make window buttons and title bars larger. A font size of about 16 can work well with these themes.
In Panel
settings, increasing panel height, and setting panels to hide Intelligently
, will make them easier to interact with, without losing effective screen real estate.
This results in something like the right. The only obvious problem is the large, permanent, title bars.
