As mentioned previously on the list [1] we are only specifically
calling for testing as things turn up needing testing.<br>
<br>
So - this is the first one of those. This is available for testing
in Trusty, Utopic and Vivid. So not using the dev version
shouldn't hold anyone back here ;)<br>
<br>
The staging ppa [2] holds these packages.<br>
<br>
Currently there are a few updated packages there, currently we are
only interested in one : xfce4-panel.<br>
<br>
This includes intelligent hiding - and it is this that we are
wanting testing. <br>
<br>
<i>sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xubuntu-dev/xubuntu-staging</i><br>
<i>sudo apt-get update </i><br>
<i>sudo apt-get install xfce4-panel </i><br>
<br>
restart the panel from Alt +F2 using <br>
<br>
<i>xfce4-panel --restart</i><br>
<br>
Go to Panel Preferences > Display and set Automatically hide
the panel to <i>Intelligently</i><br>
<br>
The panel should only hide when a window (maximised for instance)
would cover the panel.</blockquote>
<br>
and in focus<br>
<blockquote cite="mid:54887665.9090102@btinternet.com" type="cite">
Moving an un-maximised window over the panel should also hide the
panel.<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
Hovering over the panel when hidden should reveal it.<br>
<blockquote cite="mid:54887665.9090102@btinternet.com" type="cite">
<br>
Please test this for at least a few days.<br>
<br>
If you do happen across a bug, please report that upstream [3] and
make sure to add Intelligent Hiding to the bug title. <br>
<br>
You can also reply to this thread with a link to that reported
bug.<br>
<br>
<br>
If you've not got ppa-purge installed, now might be a good time
for that.<br>
<br>
To remove the panel we are testing run <br>
<br>
<i>sudo ppa-purge ppa:xubuntu-dev/xubuntu-staging</i><br>
<br>
thanks<br>
