You can choose whether to have it full width, smaller, or using a separate

You can't control which items go in the systray - you never could - but you 
can control everything else.

The only zone that I know that acts like that is the systray - and you can 
hide icons in the systray  if you need to make it smaller.

Or maybe you haven't taken the time to learn it?  You tell us what you need to 
do but can't, and we'll tell you whether there is a way to do it, and help you 
through if necessary.  You can save a lot of learning time with carefully 
worded questions.
