Now, that we have installed AWN and it runs upon startup, '''we no longer require panels'''. If you have secondary panels, you can easy remove them by right-clicking on the panel, and select remove. But you cannot perform this operation with the main panel.
'''NOTE: The following procedure is obsolete!'''
'''In order to hide the panel, you must instruct your system to use awn instead of panels.''' You do this by issuing the following single-line command in a shell prompt (you do NOT have to be super-user, and this command should be issued for each user on the system):
'''<span style="font-family:courier;color:blue">gconftool-2 –type string –set /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/panel “awn”</span>'''
This will take effect the next time you log-in or restart…
If for some reason, you want to '''return to panels''', you can issue the following single-line command to restore your panels:
'''<span style="font-family:courier;color:blue">gconftool-2 –type string –set /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/panel “gnome-panel”</span>'''
Regards of your preference, I encourage you to try to see if you like it. Must of my friends prefer using awn…
