[Feature Request] How to identify parallel panels #1376

Closed stephenboston closed 1 year ago

stephenboston commented 1 year ago

Expected behaviour

If I have two top panels, one below the other, I want to be able to set properties for them through dconf or gsettings. For example I want to be able to 'hide them' via the CLI.

Actual behaviour

dconf does not distinguish between the two panels. 

 /org/mate/panel/toplevels/top/

is all we have.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Given

MATE general version

mate-common 1.26.0-1

Package version

mate-panel 1.26.3-1

Linux Distribution

6.3.9-arch1-1

Link to bugreport of your Distribution (requirement)

Normally you should have the list of toplevels with gsettings get org.mate.panel toplevel-id-list Then, you can use the corresponding relocatable schema to play with it, e.g. gsettings set org.mate.panel.toplevel:/org/mate/panel/toplevels/bottom/ auto-hide false (replace bottom with the toplevel ID you want). Panel positions should have nothing to do with this, and I can indeed have as many top-oriented panels as I want and they'll appear just fine.
