[SOLVED] Quick Question: In XFCE, How To Position Panel At Top?

3guesses · 09-27-2014, 06:44 PM

Sorry, new to Linux Mint (and Linux in general, really) and I want to position the XFCE panel at the top of the screen rather than at the bottom but I don't seem to be able to find a way to do so. Can it be done???

that's a puzzler, i'll admit.

in panel settings, UNcheck "lock panel", then just drag the panel to where you want it and optionally lock it again.

Goto the Whisker menu and type panel > run it.
Display tab > "Lock Panel" and de-select it.
Close the panel dialog.
Next to the Whisker menu you'll see some dotted "handles" click+drag to the top.

It's the first thing I do on

Code:

System:    Host: my-kungfu Kernel: 3.13.0-24-generic x86_64 (64 bit) Desktop: Xfce 4.11.6
           Distro: Linux Mint 17 Qiana

ondoho, habitual: Thanks very much, I think it would have taken me a while to figure that out! Much happier now 8-)

Props to ondoho, as he was first.
Glad it worked out.
