Panel in the right side

#1 Post by Jakob77 »

They say it is not right to have a right panel.
But how can a right panel be wrong.
If you only have a left panel you will have no right panel left.
There will only be the left left.

Well... enough playing with words.


The MX super tools for the Xfce panel makes it worth a test:

I haven't made up my mind yet but I think I like the right panel better than the one at the bottom.


Other opinions.?

I have quite a few clients with right side panels, and I have to say it almost feels right. However, with four monitors... left on the primary monitor is better.

Personally, I prefer the Apple approach. Top menu, bottom dock / launcher. I have run this way for years, and only recently moved to panel on the left (hidden).

I really like clean desktops, so hidden left panel, cairo dock on the bottom (also hidden), and then if I get more than 3 documents / links I want to open a lot for a while, I use the bottom left panel (also hidden) to link docs into for quick access.)

You can create as many as you like, even 5-6 . If you have a wide screen "2 columns" look nice.

Normally I prefer the panel on bottom but when I tried the vertical panel on right, it looks better to me (than on left)

I suspect Jakob77 is a man of Logical Absolutes too. ;)

Just curious
Personally, I prefer the Apple approach. Top menu,
Do you mean the Whisker Menu on top?
If so, how do you move it?

Screenshot?

Cheers all!

The "WHISKER MENU"?, not the panel? - maybe I'm missing it????

But, you know, that won't be alone, it needs a panel (no matter a wide panel or very short)

Yes, sorry, Whisker menu on top as the "Apple Approach" (I didnt clean up the conky, but conky's down by 60)

But this is how I have been running, and I like it very much.
