--------------------------+-------------------------
 Since the outer shell of the customizer uses fixed positioning, we can
 shift fewer elements by moving to absolute positioning, which allows
 better use of the "right" property (as it's set to the parent element
 instead of the window). This can allow the width to only be declared in
 two locations, so the sidebar becomes easily stretchable (and adjustable
 via JS).

 Patch attached, tested in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Opera, IE9, and IE8.
