covering panels?

[Georgetoon]

Okay, I'm using LXDE a bit more and it'sprobbly the closest thing to KDE 3.5 've seen so far. 

've been playing with adding panels.  I added a top panel and added apps.  How do I get a window (browser, file manager, application, etc.) to cover the top panel? right now, it sits just below.

georgetoon, I wrote everything I know about the panels in LXDE here >http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,65873.0.html

Hope you can glean some help from there.  

Try right clicking the panel, and going to "Panel settings" and picking the tab, "Advanced", and checking the "Minimize panel when not in use" option. That's the closest thing I can figure out.

Thanks, Rudge. I'll check it out for sure!:)

What I found is, when panel preferences' advanced tab is selected, you uncheck "Reserve space, and not covered by maximized windows."  That seems to do it.  Although, I have to layer the maximized window as "always on top."    And I have to do his each time with each window.

so, there's one more step that needs to be done in order to get this to "stick" without having to customize the window each time it's launched.
