Panel covering application title bar

#1 Post by oliverjames »

Hello,
With the panel on my hdmi monitor, however I set panel hide (never, intelligently, always) it remains over the title bar of whichever application is full screen, or top of screen. I've tried all the output options (automatic, primary ...) but to no avail; the panel doesn't react. My only solution is to place the panle on the laptop screen but then it's length is limited.

Code: Select all

i made a simple script to toggle hide/unhide the panel temporarily (for instance linked to alt-space keys) .
pgrep xfce4-panel && xfce4-panel -q || xfce4-panel

Panel Preferences - "Display" tab : "Keep panel above windows" .

Uncheck if checked .


If still the same or if it's already so:

Move panel to bottom (or any other place), then to top again, simply with "MX Tweak".
