[Solved] limit fullscreen area

rc87 · 2010-10-14 15:46:33

Hi all,

I would like to customize my desktop a little and hope that someone can help me.

The goal is to have a small stripe of my desktop of, say 5cm, on the left visible even in fullscreen, so I can access the files which ly there.
For instance a panel, where I can put things just like at the desktop would do the trick, but I couldn't find any.
Putting an invisible panel there doesn't help, since this also moves the desktio icons to the right.

Thanks!

Go to Workspaces in your Xfce Control Center. In the Margins dialog at right, set a number of pixels (by trial and error) on the left-hand side to give you 5 cm of desktop which no window will occupy.

Cool, thanks! That solved the problem.
