Ubuntu
unity package

Been Try to modify the task bar and have had no luck I crash the system twice already need some input ... would like to atleast set it to auto hide ... can anyone help me?

Asked by Cristino J Olano

in the older ubuntu I was able to auto hide and even remove the task bar and the lunch so I could use just the dock program ...

now when I try the same thing my system locks up or crashes ...

...I would like to atleast auto hide it .

I just upgraded for the first time in a very long time and I may have to go back to my old version which was before version 11.

thanks for the help...Cris

Do you mean a dock like docky or avant-window-navigator? Are you basically wanting a desktop like this:

Then I recommend you install the gnome-panel package, log off then log in to the new session in the login screen (see under the Ubuntu logo near your username).

You can then kill the gnome-panel service at startup and run docky :)

The image there is LXDE with lxpanel killed then launch docky. I use xcompmgr to get compositing in the Openbox WM.

Can you help with this problem?
