Hi All, I run these commands for previous 7.2 to hide the bottom panel. gconftool-2 -t int --list-type int --set /apps/panel/toplevels/bottom_panel/auto_hide_size 0 gconftool-2 -t bool --list-type bool --set /apps/panel/toplevels/bottom_panel/auto_hide true It does not seem to be working any more... I am seeing the panel. Thoughts? Jerry

Assuming you are running GNOME 3, of course. -- Liam
Hi Liam, Your correct. I copied pasted too fast. The OLD gconftool-2 is for the older CentOS 6 version of things. The command for CentOS 7 is this: dbus-send --print-reply --session --type=method_call --dest=org.gnome.Shell /org/gnome/Shell org.gnome.Shell.Eva string:'Main.panel.actor.hide();' When I enter this command by hand I am getting this error: Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.Shell was not provided by any .service files The dbus-send command worked on CentOS 7.2 to hide the bottom panel, does not appear to be working on 7.3 Any ideas? Jerry

Using dbus to do that is overkill. I suggest you use gnome-tweak tool (as I suggested earlier) or, if you require scriptability, the dconf or gsettings commands. -- Liam
