change oppacity in xfce4-panel

i know there is the GUI way of doing this: (panel preferences > appearance > set leave to 0)

but i want that always i make my terminal in fullscreen (F11) it makes the xfce panel disappear (because my terminal has opacity and i like it)

someone knows if there is a command to set this opacity to 0 ? i've searched for it and i couldn't find

Re: change oppacity in xfce4-panel

THANKS <3 i was reading the threads and i discover the autohide feature :

xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -p /panels/panel-0/autohide-behavior -s 0

and

xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -p /panels/panel-0/autohide-behavior -s 2

i make it an keyboard shortcut for now , later gonna work to make a script to make it only with my terminal , thx

edit:

here is a simple script that makes it toggle mode to a keyboard shortcut
(i read that xfconf have toggle mode on the autohide behavior but it didnt work for me)

#!/bin/bash

cur=$(xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -p /panels/panel-0/autohide-behavior)
if [[ cur -eq 0 ]]; then
  nxt=1
else
  nxt=0
fi
xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -p /panels/panel-0/autohide-behavior -s $nxt

Great!

I found a similar script by ToZ here: https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=13015

Great minds think alike
