hallo.

at first:
im very new in Zorin and have not much knowledge in linux (distributions)
and i am not english native speaker

my qustions is:

is there a way to make AWN invisble in a second virtual desktop or put it back behind a fullscreen window ?

why? :

i would like to run a virtual machine in another virtual desktop,
so, when the taskbar fade in (intellihide), it covers the the taskbar from the guest-system, or is confusingly with the guest-system when it turn up thereunder.

or maybe, are there a virtual dasktop manager, which allows to turn of AWN in virtual desktop?

thanks for answer/s

Hi, first off I have never attempted to create a VM inside a VM - I would have thought that it should still behave the same way - the choices you have occur when you righ-click AWN and select Preferences and choose either 'Hide' or 'Intellihide' - if this does not work for you you could try and install Cairo-Dock DE to the Zorin VM and use the options of Cairo-Dock? ;) :D

hi swarefendor / forum-members

no, not a VM in VM
Zorin OS (11 core) is Host

a made a picture to illustrate

you wrote: select Preferences and choose either 'Hide' or 'Intellihide'

in preferenes is no "hide"-option - there is:
panel mode,
always visible,
intellihide,
window dodge, and
custom.

intelhide is not enough, because:
if it fade-in (in Virtual Dektop/Virtual Machine) it is displaced and cover Virtual Machine - in Host is no problem

what means custom?
i cant find options for customade.

Hi, my bad :oops: - I may have been thinking of Cairo-Dock when I mentioned 'hide'. What if you move the dock to a different location - Top, Left, or Right? I suspect custom may need some form of script but not sure about that as not something I tend to mess with too often. ;)
