Hi,

The Task Bar has decided to go the the top of the screen and in doing so became very thin.

Not sure how/when it happened but can't seem to see where I can reset it.

Is this core or Lite?

Hi, You haven't accidentally launched Gnome Panel in extensions have you? What I would do is open Tweaks, turn all Zorin extensions off then back on again to see if it solves the issue. Can you post a screenshot? ;) :D

Yes, that sounds like the Gnome Flashback Top bar...

Hi,

Won't be on for a couple of days, but here is the bar at the top. Will do what you suggested if I am able to connect from afar :-)

Thanks guys

That pic you sent looks like xfce as the clock in Core is usually furthest right in the panel? ;) :D

Yes I dont know why it happened. I have been updating software when it says it is available plus webmin so not sure. I do recall some libre files coming down, is that the office you're taking about ? I haven't been able to check those others yet like turning exts off/on .Onm my phone now.

Libre would not be related.
When you have a chance, at your computer, open a terminal and run
[code] xfce4-panel --version[/quote]
If it says it is not installed- then that ain't it.

If using Gnome, click on the Activities overview and select "about". If that does not say "Gnome-Flashback", then that may not be it, either. At which point, should examine what Gnome Extensions you have installed.
