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?
