The Panel Properties window that appears includes the
following values:
Orientation??”Move the panel to different locations on the screen by clicking on a new
position.
Size??”Select the size of your panel by choosing its height in pixels (48 pixels by default).
Expand??”Select this check box to have the panel expand to fill the entire side, or clear
the check box to make the panel only as wide as the applets it contains.
AutoHide??”Select whether a panel is automatically hidden (appearing only when the
mouse pointer is in the area).
Show Hide buttons??”Choose whether the Hide/Unhide buttons (with pixmap arrows
on them) appear on the edges of the panel.

Arrows on hide buttons??”If you select Show Hide Buttons, you can choose to have
arrows on those buttons.
Background??”From the Background tab, you can assign a color to the background of the
panel, assign a pixmap image, or just leave the default (which is based on the current system
theme). Click the Background Image check box if you want to select an Image for the
background, and then select an image, such as a tile from /usr/share/backgrounds/
tiles or another directory.
I usually turn on the AutoHide feature and turn off the Hide buttons. Using AutoHide
gives you more desktop space to work with.
