How to move the menu bar

Postby jb99 on Sun Jun 03, 2012 7:29 am

I installed Mint Linux Debian edition and set up cinnamon.
It's working well except that my bottom menu bar (the panel?) is on the wrong monitor. It's on my second monitor which is small and out of the way and I'd prefer it on my main monitor.
Does anyone know how to move it? I can't find a way.

Thanks

Linux Mint is funded by ads and donations.

i got exactly the same problem.


Then I right clicked and went to the panels properties. There I removed the expand parameter. This allowed me to drag the panel over to the other screen. But it was too short .... so the next step was to expand the panel again on the external screen. Simple as that.

I have the same problem but when I right click on the panel I don't see a "Panel Properties" option, just settings. In settings there is no button remove expanding of the panel. I am lost here. I have 2 23 inch monitors the right monitor is turned 90 degrees (counter clockwize) to be verticle. the panel is on this monitor and I want to locate it on the left monitor (in landscape mode).
