remove default panel in cinnamon

Post by carl711 »

I'm running Cinnamon 2.2.13 (Mint 17). I'm using cairo dock and want to remove the standard cinnamon panel. I tried "compiz --replace" during startup, but nothing happends.
How can I remove the panel ?
Thanks

I am not aware that you can remove the panel entirely but you can certainly hide it. You can do that via System Settings, Panel, Auto Hide Options. If your dock is at the bottom of the screen you can elect to put the panel at the top, activate "auto-hide" and set the "Show" delay as high as it will go so that you don't activate it accidentally.
To undo, reset the panel via System Settings.
