SUMMARY

Suggestion to add a feature to be able to resize the central window where is showed the current track, lyrics, Wikipedia, etc...
Example, if I have set current track and lyrics, and want to make smaller the current track section than lyrics section, can't resize horizontally the sections.

Hi, thank you for your request! The bugtracker also contains the wishlist, so this is the right place!
I'm not sure if I've grasped your idea yet, however; do you mean you would like current track and lyrics to have different width? (The context area's common width can be changed by dragging from the edge, and the individual height of each applet can be changed by dragging in edit mode).  Could you perhaps provide some kind of mockup on your idea?

Ups! 
Yes, I was talking about the height of each section, and yes in edit mode can be changed!! Didn't know that this was possible...
Just a suggestion for people like me... maybe that ability to change the height can be always available even if not in edit mode. And can be forbidden when the design is blocked in the menu...
Sorry for the noise... You can close the bug if you want.

Okay, very good to hear!
I didn't know that it could be changed in edit mode either for a long time; I just found out when preparing 3.0. I added the highlight bar to applet lower border as a hint so it would be a bit more discoverable. It could probably use even more hints, too, but I don't have any ideas yet what they could be.

It is true that having two different edit modes (= one for the panels and one for the applets in context panel) is not that intuitive. However, unifying them as one wouldn't maybe be optimal solution either, as locking the panel layout changes the context views height a bit, so it would make sizing applets a bit messy.

Maybe I'll close this bug, but I'll try to think if I can come up with any more related improvements.

glad to know that maybe my ignorance can be useful in some way! :)
Since I'm not developer, there's no much more in what I can help

It's always both nice and useful to hear user experiences and feedback! Even in cases where a feature exists, any case where it hasn't been discovered yet is a signal to take note of. And with a bit of luck, at least someone else wondering the same thing might happen to come across this report and learn of the feature that way.
