Moving task bar and panel

[Jon Piper]

Good Morning,
Here is another way to get more vertical screen space:
Move the system tray to a panel on the bottom or a side.  Click the 
half-moon shaped widget and select "more settings".  Unlock the widgets. 
Select "Auto Hide" and "Windows Can Cover". The system tray will only 
take up space when the mouse pointer touches the edge of the screen 
where the tray in installed. I keep eight desktops (each for a different 
purpose) and a lot of programs open a once so the disappearing tray can 
take up a lot of space if it were installed in the panel that has all of 
the other widgets; this get them out of the way and still instantly 
accessible.  Try it, you will like it -- maybe; if you don't, it can be 
easily undone.  Have fun with the adventure.

Blessings,

Jon
