Hello

I would like to share a possible  idea for a next generation feature.

Since some years we are using yet the very useful XFCE's toolbar it is a very nice feature, but it may be a bit tricky any direction we set it is endlessly opening even when don't need it, just by sliding a scrollbar or reaching extremes areas of an edition window ...

I was thinking about two possible options which would make it more friendly, of course it should be optional by a case to check in the toolbar properties.

-  first : a double RIGHT click anywhere on desktop would open the bar for about 3 seconds which would keep opened if the mouse pointer hovers it.

- second possibility : a small button on the border, a click opens the bar for the same 3 seconds which would keep opened if the mouse pointer hovers it.

What do you think about it ? Perhaps I am the only one experiencing the annoyance of constant opening bar, but what more frustrating than the web explorer or mail software launching by a fake click ....

As well i got a clue from XFCE forum  to slow down the panel to appear using this way:

to create a file in the user directory with the name ~/.gtkrc-2.0
and must contains this :

style "xfce-panel-window-style"
{
  # Time in miliseconds before the panel will unhide on an enter event
  XfcePanelWindow::popup-delay = 225
 
  # Time in miliseconds before the panel will hide on a leave event
  XfcePanelWindow::popdown-delay = 350
 
  # Size of autohide window in pixels
  XfcePanelWindow::autohide-size = 3
}
class "XfcePanelWindow" style "xfce-panel-window-style"

i tested it, and found it very convenient it would be a very good idea to put some such options in the settings of the down moving panel.

thank you for reading
