UBUNTU - Tips And Tricks To Customize The Panel
Ubuntu includes a top panel and a bottom panel by default. If you prefer to keep only one panel at the bottom just like the Windows Taskbar, then these are the steps to follow:
Delete the bottom panel: right-click over it and click "Delete This Panel".
- Move the top panel to bottom: right-click over it, select "Properties" and change Orientation from "Top" to "Bottom".
- Add running program buttons: right-click the panel, select "Add to Panel", scroll down and select "Window List", click "Add".
- Replace the Menu Bar ("Applications-Places-System") with the "Main Menu" to save space in the panel:
- Right-click the "Menu Bar" and select "Remove From Panel".
- Right-click the panel, select "Add to Panel" and choose "Main Menu", click "Add".
- Right-click the items (Firefox, etc) and untick "Lock to Panel".
- Right-click the added "Main Menu", select "Move" to relocate it to the far left.


- sudo gconftool-2 --shutdown
- sudo rm -rf .gconf/apps/panel
- sudo pkill gnome-panel
