The User Panel is designed in two sections.  The top section shows the selected User Panel's current operation.  The bottom section is used to show each band panel option with its' representing icon.

 

There are two ways to give more space for the current operation panel being viewed:

 

1. The user can use the slider control to reduce the bands to just icons.

2. The user can click the Configure button (red box) to Show More Buttons or Show Fewer Buttons. Each time one of those options is selected, an operation panel will either be expanded to the band (blue box) or reduced to a small icon (green box).
