Possible to completely hide xfce4-panel :?

HI..

Whenever you hide the panel there's always a few pixels left showing on the screen that do not hide. Using gtk.css is it possible to remove these pixels & completely hide the panel :? If so, how can it be done thanks. Running xfce4-panel 4.12.2 (Xfce 4.12) on Xubuntu 18.04.4....

The thinnest it can go is one pixel width. Using the following snippet in ~/.gtkrc-2.0:

style "xfce-panel-window-style"
{
  # Size of autohide window in pixels
  XfcePanelWindow::autohide-size = 1
}
class "XfcePanelWindow" style "xfce-panel-window-style"

To make it look fully hidden, you can change the background to a transparent colour.

What version of the Xfce panel are you running? The above snippet only works with versions 4.12 or lower (GTK2). See https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?pid=58447#p58447.
