After much searching I found how to hide the panel.

dbus-send –print-reply –session –type=method_call –dest=org.gnome.Shell
/org/gnome/Shell org.gnome.Shell.Eval string:’Main.panel.actor.hide();’

Works great…

However – I also wish to hide the bottom panel or workspace.

Anyone know what that is???

I tried Main.Workspace.actor.hide() and that did not work.

Thanks,
