how do I move the xfce top panel to the bottem of the screen ?
I can,t find this option any where in the settings
I tried to recreate the panel on the bottom of the screen but xfce wants to put every thing on the right I want most of whats in the panel on the left

On the panel;
* Right click > panel > panel preferences
* Disable "lock panel"
* Drag the handles that appear at the sides of the panel to the bottom of the screen.
* Enable "lock panel"

As for everything ending up at the right of the panel, you want to drag/reposition each item, using a separator, that is set to "expand". Drag items to the left of that, and they will stay on the left side.

This was the very first issue I had with Xfce, I remember.

Play around with it and see what else you can do. It's the best DE out there.

Thank you so much. I Gave MX a test run and was unable to move the panel to the bottom. In fact, I never use xfce because of the panel, thank you SO much.
