Ubuntu – How to hide the panels in fallback mode using the command line

12.04command line

I want to hide the panels via script.

in maverick I used
gconftool-2 –set "/apps/panel/toplevels/top_panel_screen0/auto_hide" –type bool "true"

now I tried

      gsettings set org.gnome.gnome-panel.layout ...

but there is a problem:

     gsettings list-keys org.gnome.gnome-panel.layout

tells me:

     object-id-list
     toplevel-id-list

but in dconf editor there are 2 subfolder layers called toplevels and then top-panel /bottom-panel
I have no idea how to get there.

it should be

toplevels.top-panel auto_hide true

I tried all different things to get there…no way. does that mean you cannot change these values from commandline any more?

Best Answer

As an alternative to gsettings you can use dconf from the command line as well.

For example

dconf write /org/gnome/gnome-panel/layout/toplevels/bottom-panel/auto-hide true

This will write the value TRUE to the auto-hide key.

If you need to see the keys in a path then use the list parameter

For example:

dconf list /org/gnome/gnome-panel/layout/toplevels/top-panel/

Remember to start with a / and end with a / for paths.
