I am not certain why there isn't a one panel layout. Could be that you can accomplish this with one of the other layouts. But what I don't like about the existing layouts is the extra margin: .5em which adds a buffer around the content. This makes it look different from the rest of the site. So here is a page that keeps it looking like the rest of the layout for the site. I use this because I want to have a static node on top and then a view of all the content that gets promoted to the front page.

I might even just opt to have a front page view that is sticky on top of lists.

The same can be accomplished using block admin, but I find it more intuitive to use panels. It is without question easier to see which blocks are on which pages by creating them with panels. All those blocks in the admin block content area without any visibile context to page, can be mighty confussing!

After discussing this with douggreen today, this will probably make it into Panels 1.2 which will be, um. Sometime. =)

Sometime when I'm awake and thinking

Big +1 to add this asap!

(I marked my 'two row layout' issue (http://drupal.org/node/141349) 'duplicate'. Thanks.)

Did some changes so it is inline with the other layouts. Changed 'center' to 'middle', 'panel-col-center' class to 'panel-col' and added the weird css margins.

I committed this (modified to be updated to Panels 2 styles) to Panels 2.

Not sure if I'm going to bother with Panels 1.

Following Moshe's comment, I'm reopening because... well, I care! I'm currently using Panels 1.2 in a site which I'm hoping will shortly be live, and I'd love to see this feature in it so that I can place blocks of views under each other in a single central column that otherwise looks like a single node page.

Having said that.... I don't want to take any resource away from developing the new version 2, so if it's a choice of either/or, please carry on working on the new version!

One last point - is there any consideration in the new version to allow site admins to define their own panel column layouts?

@tonoshimi, I suggest that you take the panels patch that's already applied to this issue and apply it to your site. This will give you exactly what you need. If you need help applying a patch, please see http://drupal.org/patch. If this gives you enough direction, please reclose the issue. Thanks!
