Linux Mint 8 menu bar[SOLVED]

Post by crouton351 »

Hi! Noob here. So, I installed the Gnome Do docky, and I wanted to move (or just customize) my menu bar. I do not know how to do this. Could someone please explain how to do it? Thank you.

Hello,

In Linux, the "Menu Bar" is known as the "Panel". In GNOME this can be easily customised by right-clinking on a clear area of the panel and selecting properties.

Here I have the panel on the left, it will also he hidden as I use the AWN dock.

You can then move the bar around the screen and set it to be hidden or change its colour.

If you are using a dock I would recommend you either set the panel to auto-hide at the bottom of the screen or move the bar to another edge of the screen.
