Depends on its location, the glass panel could be a vision panel in an inner room situation and would be required. In most cases it is a health and safety matter, to prevent an accident, if two people on opposite sides of the door try to open it at the same time. You can decorate it anyway you choose providing you keep the require signs and do not increase the spread of flame to high levels, (usually no more than 4 or 5 coats of paint or vanish).
