Hi All,
I run these commands for previous 7.2 to hide the bottom panel. gconftool-2 -t int --list-type int --set /apps/panel/toplevels/bottom_panel/auto_hide_size 0 gconftool-2 -t bool --list-type bool --set /apps/panel/toplevels/bottom_panel/auto_hide true
It does not seem to be working any more... I am seeing the panel.
Thoughts?

Those commands are for the GNOME 2 (and possibly MATE) desktop environments. In GNOME 3 you use gnome-tweak-tool to disable the "Window list" extension. Assuming you are running GNOME 3, of course.
Hi Liam,
Your correct. I copied pasted too fast. The OLD gconftool-2 is for the older CentOS 6 version of things. The command for CentOS 7 is this:
dbus-send --print-reply --session --type=method_call --dest=org.gnome.Shell /org/gnome/Shell org.gnome.Shell.Eva string:'Main.panel.actor.hide();'
When I enter this command by hand I am getting this error: Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.Shell was not provided by any .service files
The dbus-send command worked on CentOS 7.2 to hide the bottom panel, does not appear to be working on 7.3
Any ideas?

All you need to do is change the value of the dconf key /org/gnome/shell/enabled-extensions. Using dbus to do that is overkill. I suggest you use gnome-tweak tool (as I suggested earlier) or, if you require scriptability, the dconf or gsettings commands.
