Re: Unity panel always displayed on top of fullscreen windows
Hi!, quequotion,
You Posted:
Ubuntu 11.10 has Gnome 3 and uses all of it's components except the shell by default, unless you installed Kubuntu or Xubuntu.
I am not sure this is right, at least it does not tie in with what I have got: Log-in options, { apart from Gnome (No Effects) & User defined } include:
1: 11.10 -16 on USB: Ubuntu. Ubuntu 2D
2: 11.10-16 + Gnome3: Gnome, Gnome Classic, Ubuntu, Ubuntu 2D.
3: 11.10-16 + gnome-fallback: Gnome Classic, Ubuntu, Ubuntu 2D.
{'Gnome' in item 2 is what I assume to be Gnome-Shell, ie it is totally different from any of the others.}
Using 2D Unity produced the same results as 3D.
Not for me. I was able to get correct full-screen in Unity 2D.
I don't know why, but windows properly full-screen over the Unity 2D panel so it is not visible.
I have begun to think this whole mystery is just that Panels set to Auto-hide when a Window touches their space, do so with either a 'normal' or a Maximised Window, but not with a FullScreen Window.
I know that that is not always so, ie with gedit they stay hidden, or at least they stay beneath the Window and hence are not visible - except for a transparent Window - nor active.
The 'incorrect' behavior is when - for whatever reason - the Window is displayed under the Panel, even when it has the Focus. ( or am I over-simplifying things.? )
The question I have is another vocablary issue: Panels are said to 'hide', when in fact they scroll aside or up/down, when a Window encroaches or the Mouse Cursor triggers the effect. This is very noticeable with FireFox, because it scrolls several toolbars off the screen.
In other words, it is not a question of:
:windows properly full-screen over the ..... panel so it is not visible.
The Panels should not be there but off the screen.
How about your nvidia settings? Anything special? Overclocking?
I am using the proprietary 290.10 driver and the only setting I have altered is to set the resolution to 1280x1024x24 which is the lower resolution of my monitors - used singly. No overclocking or multiplexing, CLI or whatever.
Also I am using the Default Desktop Manager, not one of the other various alternatives, and nothing has been Tweaked. The Installation on the USB is totally virgin and I just finished wiping it and updating a re-installation. It behaves the same as the other two Hdd installs although it does not have any extra Gnome apps added.
Chao!, bogan.
