wxGUI Single-Window: Make Tools pane wider after startup

Before:

After:

The width is the same for both side panels.

What about #2210, could you try to address it here? It seems related.

Well, I have already kind of addressed it (without noticing @veroandreo 's Issue, good to see it now).
The min pane width is set up to the one fifth of display size , here I suggest one sixth. I am not sure if to go even further and allow to shrink it more - the pane can be minimized if needed.

I also looked at the small arrow which appears in Data Catalog toolbar when shrinked "too much". I remember that the arrow was not appearing but I think that the problem was in Search box. Now when Search box is no longer the part of toolbar, it fixed itself.

I changed milestone to 8.2 as this lives only in main so far, right?

@veroandreo does this address #2210? I am thinking they could be shrinked even more, but no strong opinion.

Oh sure, the previous plan :-) I switched 0 and 2 by mistake.

I have tried one eighth of display size as a minimum pane size. It looks as follows:

probably better, I would go with this. What do you think?

Yes! I like this one better! For more space, as you said earlier, the user can directly minimize.

And the right panel could be probably a bit narrower for the startup. What do you think?

I first thought that the initial pane sizes should be the same on both sides but there is an empty space on the right then...

It looks good to me, yes. Esp. since the focus of the right panel at startup is on the Tools tab. Then, it can be resized when there's an output in the Console tab or if the user wants to use the Python terminal tab.

This doesn't seem to differ a lot from the original state. I would make the right pane wider because often one of the first things I do is to resize it. Also when I tested it looks like the right pane doesn't have a minimal width, while the left does, was that the intention? I don't have a strong opinion whether they should be both the same width, although I think it would make things simpler. Ultimately I think the layout should be saved in settings (out of scope of this PR).

We can make the size of both panes the same, I do not have a strong opinion either. The minimum size could be also set up. There is just a little problem that you actually set up the minimum size only for this particular "startup" notebook but when a user creates a different notebook the minimum size is not applied.
