I want to have multiple panels, but when I choose top and bottom, my bottom panel becomes the top panel. This, I do not want. I want my bottom panle to remain on the bottom and make the top panel my secondary.
I tried using panel edit mode, then dragging the applets from the top to the bottom, but I was not able to move jupiter and mintinstall. I tried to just add them to the bottom panel, but they were not in the spot I desired and again, I was unable to move them. Some time ago, I found an article that said you can just edit the config file and switch the 2 (rename top panel to bottom panel etc...) but have had no luck in finding that config file. Unfortunately, I cannot find the article either to reference it.
So, other than rebuilding the panel all together, does anyone have any clue on how to help?

Re: Customize multiple panels
Did you choose "New Panel" instead of "Add to Panel"? I did and was able to make a completely different panel at the top.

Re: Customize multiple panels
I don't have a "new panel" option anywhere. I'm guessing that you are refering to when you right click on an item in the menu and it gives you the "add to panel" option.Spearmint2 wrote:Did you choose "New Panel" instead of "Add to Panel"?

Re: Customize multiple panels
No, I right clked on the existing bottom panel and choose to create a new panel and put it at the top, then added different links to it, just to show the new panel wasn't just a copy of the original.

Re: Customize multiple panels
Nope, still don't have that option. Did you add an extended settings or something. I'm on Mint 14 if that makes a difference...Spearmint2 wrote:No, I right clked on the existing bottom panel and choose to create a new panel and put it at the top, then added different links to it, just to show the new panel wasn't just a copy of the original.

Using Mint 14 myself. I didn't add any extended options, just what came with the distro originally.

I don't have that option when I right click on the panel. Instead it brings up the cinnamon settings applet menu.Spearmint2 wrote:Using Mint 14 myself. I didn't add any extended options, just what came with the distro originally.
I think the difference is that I'm using cinnamon desktop.

Re: Customize multiple panels
So, recently I had to wipe my hard drive and reinstall mint. When I restored my stuff, my double panels were back just how I had them set up. Back track a little bit, I ended up manually switching my applets from my top panel to my bottom panel. However, since my panel setup was restored, I know there is a file somewhere that I can edit to switch the top/bottom as default.
