I need to update my screenshot.
I used to have LBC always visible, full height, reserving space at the side of my screen.
Now I have my dock set to auto-slide out of the way, and non-full height, which i was initially skeptical about, but now love. Highly recommended.
Note that I have enabled the option to add extra space at start and end of dock, which is what those blank areas are at the top and bottom of the dock.
