Comment (by ocean90):

 Feedback for [attachment:31336.6.diff]:

 * I think the Customizer should get the same background color (#eeeeee )
 as the admin (#f1f1f1) has.
 * `<?php _e( 'Customizing' ); echo ' ▸ '; _e( 'Widgets' ); ?>`
 should be one string so the arrow can be flipped for RTL.
 * A widget can suddenly disappear: https://cloudup.com/c_QRWhciccQ
 * The animation is broken on iOS and needs to be disabled for `.customize-
 panel-back`, see `.ios .control-panel-back`:
 https://cloudup.com/cCkB__QgYo9
 * Tab order: `a.customize-controls-close` is focussed initially, clicking
 tab once doesn't focus something, at least it's not visible. I would
 expect that the help icon gets focussed. (Chrome 43)
 * Since a section slides now too, do we really need to visually
 distinguish between a section and a panel? I don't think so.
 * I noticed the different transition too, should be fixed.
 * It's odd, that you can't click the whole panel title to close the
 current panel. Again, I don't think a user needs to know if she/he is
 seeing a section or a panel.
 * Am I the only one who is missing keyboard navigation to return to the
 previous panel/section?
 * I think the help toggle should be a bit lighter, !#555 instead of !#000.
