XFCE4 Panel removal or blocking
Hi friends,
I am a newbie of arch linux distribution (installed in a VM) and I moved to xfce4 DE from GNOME. Since I have installed cairo-dock from repositories, I would like to remove the xfce4 panel or block it on top of the screen like previous xfce version. I know that is possible to block it everywhere on the screen, but I just want the small icon blocked in the bar and click on it to get all the applications in the window menu(even if is possible to get them in the cairo-dock). Any solution for that? Thanks guys! Note that the panel is annoying because every window I open, it appears above the panel! |
Wow.
I think you want to "relocate" some things from the Gnome Panel sub-system to the cairo-dock Things like Notification Area, Workspace switcher, and the hat trick is the Indicator Plugin. open a terminal using Ctrl+Alt+T and issue: Code:
xfce4-panel -p Good Luck. |

Run
Code:
xfce4-panel -p The panel on the bottom-left with the whisker menu will now be movable. This should be visible by the stacked dots known as "Handles" on the outside edge of the taskbar in question. You can relocate the panel dragging at the handle(s) to the location you desire. Don't forget to relock it when you're done positioning it. Does that help? |

Hello, If, as I understand it, you want an application menu at the top right hand corner of the screen and no panle at the bottom of the screen, you will have to delete the existing panel (using the "-" sign on the panel settings) and create a new panel using the "+" sign. Move this new panel to the top of the screen. From there you can add whichever menu items you want. You can also select the "automatically hide the panel" drop down box to "Always" or "Intelligently". This will ensure that the panel does not cover any windows on the desktop. Hope this helps. |

I have another question, please (I know it is not the right section). How can lock the cairo dock on the desktop, so that I don't have to start it, at each reboot, manually? |

the best solution is to lock the bar in the position I like and hide it intelligently. In this way, if I open a new windows, the bar disappears. |

Test it by logging out and then logging in again. Good luck. |
