[lubuntu-users] Wish list on Disco+--more items in right-click desktop menu??

[Fritz Hudnut]

@Mark F:

Sounds like fun, I'm in U-MATE 18.04+ LTS as I'm typing this, the bottom
panel has "auto-hide" . . . but didn't seem to offer "smart hide" . . . it
just was "hiding" until I moused over it . . . .  "Smart-hide" does sound,
smart . . . .

You reminded me of something I saw in Peppermint (I think, it's all a blur
now. If I find it was MATE, I'll post a correction): the panel/task-bar
(whatever it's called on the bottom of the screen) has an option for "smart
hide." It will remain in view until a window covers it. Then it behaves
like auto-hide. I thought someone should win the Nobel for thinking of
that! It's lie the best of both worlds.
