Programs not showing up in Panel solved

[Matteran]

Hi, I just installed Celena. I had been running Cassandra since it came out, so I'm pretty familier with mint.

However I'm still a n00b with some things. Anyway, after doing a clean install of celena I noticed that programs that I tell to have a panel icon (deluge, exile, etc.) the icon doesn't show up. Even for mintupdate or any of that. Only the icons that I manually add show up (workspace switcher, clock, and network status)

thanks.

Can't really think of anything but....
You could accidentally have made the panel autohide and created a new one in its place.

you may have not put the system tray onto your bars...dunno, really.

ahh, okay, it's the "Notification Area" for the panel... thanks, you pointed me in the right direction.

Hey Husse, I googled mint autohide and this tread is the closest I can come to figuring out How-To-Autohide the panel when I'm watching TV with Mythtv.

I've found some pointers on how to do it in Gnome with other distros, but they don't seem to apply to Mint. I'm using Daryna 4.0 Beta 21.

Welocme to Mint dishbert99
??
Right click the panel > Properties > Tick autohide
Now you'll only see a small stripe instead of the panel
This is in general - I don't know how MythTV affects it.

Well that was easy! Thanks for the prompt reply Husse.

Mint is great, although I'm sure I'm not the first to misspeak and combine it with Linux only to find "Lint" coming out of my mouth.

But the tiny white line left over will eventually be a burn-in problem on my plasma TV unless I can get rid of it entirely. Is that possible?
