Bottom Panel On New C7.3

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?

  • Those commands are for the GNOME 2 (and possibly MATE) desktop environments. In GNOME 3 you use gnome-tweak-tool to disable the “Window list” extension. Assuming you are running GNOME 3, of course.

  • 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?

  • All you need to do is change the value of the dconf key
    /org/gnome/shell/enabled-extensions. 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.
