View Full Version : [SOLVED] Pixel dimensions for panels?

Hello!
Does anyone know the pixel dimensions for the panels.
I want to design a panel background image in gimp for the entire panel but I don't know how many pixels they are from left to right. I know (or I think) that they are 24 pixels from top to bottom but how many across?

I have designed images to use as panel backgrounds but they tile so it's like one consistent thing as I don't know the dimensions for the length of panels, only the 24 pixel height.
I've attached a couple so try them out, they're pretty cool.

For Gnome Panel? It's just defined by your screen resolution; if you raise or lower the resolution, the length of the panel will change to suit.

You can change the thickness, too, by right-clicking and selecting Properties. (And if you don't have them expanded, the breadth will just be that of whatever items you have added to them.)

Ok nice one that's helpful info.
Forgive me computer ignorance, but I don't suppose you know how I could go about finding out the width of my computer screen?

The easiest way would be to open up your Monitor Preferences. It's under Preferences > Monitors.

Just made these!

Try them out! They're 1280 by 24 pixels

And these ones are variations on the above. They're much more interesting.

Oh, very cool. I like the use of the transparency to blend in with the backdrop. Cool stuff!
