window maximisation behaviour with regards to Kicker

I run a trimonitor system and am slowly converting from WMaker to KDE for some things. Unfortunately, I'm getting very frustrated with manually resizing my windows in KDE to maximise them properly. When I click the maximise button, they maximise from the top of the screen, to the edges proper, but leaves a gap the height of Kicker regardless of what monitor they are on. The ideal solution for me would be to have the centre monitor (where my Kicker lives) to maximise to that size and the edges maximise to the full extent of the screen dimensions. I'm not sure if this is possible, but the next-best thing (in my mind) is for them all to maximise to the bottom proper. Is there a way to set KDE up to maximise without regard to Kicker? I saw nothing in K's control centre or in the submenus thereof. Thank you all for any help you can provide.

It's possible by allowing windows to cover the panel in the panel hide settings.

Thank you very much :) That is much better. Now, only one issue remaining to have ideal behaviour. Is there a way to keep Kicker on top or to have the centre window only maximise to the level of Kicker, such that Kicker is always visible? I currently have it raising when I hit bottom edge. This isn't so bad. If there is no alternative, this is good enough. Thanks again.
