You can't; this is a proof-of-principle hack. To do a proper job of this (which I don't have time to do), you'd need to do three things: (a) write a plug-in script that hooks onto the 'client-area resize' event, and overrides (or supplements) the existing panel-sizing behaviour, and (b) use HTML5's local storage to record the changes you made, so they are there when you refresh the page or login again later, (c) have a button that the player can press, which resets everything.

That's wonderful! I always wanted the notifications panel to be larger (and the friends panel to be smaller or completely invisible). But how can I make this change permanent? When I reload the page, the panels revert to their original proportions.

An other effect is it kicks the friends panel down to seeing 1-2 names at a time, at least on my screen.  I used the smaller function call 2x, and is looking great.

Cut and paste all the green text below into your browser's JavaScript console to make the Notification panel (top of the right-side panel) a bit bigger. Then, you can type bigger() or smaller() to change the size of the panel a bit.

var h=100; ah=function(idN,dh,lev){var o=document.getElementById(idN);for(var i=0;i<lev;i++){o=o.getElementsByTagName('div')[0]}o.style.height=dh+parseFloat(o.style.height)+'px';};doH=function(h){ah('sideBar',h,1);ah('NextEventsTab',h,0);ah('NotificationsTab',h,0);ah('Notifications',h,0);ah('DockedChat',-h,0);ah('allianceChatTab',-h,2);ah('globalChatTab',-h,2);};bigger=function(){doH(h)};smaller=function(){doH(-h)};doH(300);

Tested on Chrome.
(edit) After a bit of use, I note that the bottom panel is too big if the browser is resized. I was going to delete this post as a result, but players who undock their Chat panel might have a use for it.

For geeks, here's the readable version:
var h = 100;
ah = function(idN, dh, lev) { 
var o = document.getElementById(idN);
for (var i = 0; i < lev; i++) {
// get first div child element
o = o.getElementsByTagName('div')[0]
}
o.style.height = dh + parseFloat(o.style.height) + 'px';
};
doH = function(h) {
ah('sideBar',h,1);
ah('NextEventsTab',h,0);
ah('NotificationsTab',h,0);
ah('Notifications',h,0);
ah('DockedChat',-h,0);
ah('allianceChatTab',-h,2);
ah('globalChatTab',-h,2);
}
bigger = function() {
doH(h);
};
smaller = function() {
doH(-h);
};
doH(300);

The lev parameter recursively takes the first child <div> tag within the named item, to access items that are not named by id. So ah('foo',50,2) adjusts the height of the <div> tag that is 2 levels deep within the item having id 'foo', e.g.

<div id="foo"><div><div>This one!<div></div></div>
