Created attachment 3886 panel overlapping Take a look at the image , panel on the right is overlapping panel on top , which makes it impossible to see the Clock widget. However , clicking on the panel on top , will raise that panel and this problem is gone. So if xfce4-panel could provide an internal window depth level for them , or any other dirty hacks is welcomed.
Created attachment 5913 Use case scenario for panel depth configuration. I know this is an old issue but it still exists today and I agree that it'd be really nice to have this be possible. At the moment, if I wish to have something centred exactly in my panel, I have to put it on its own panel. This is because the trick with using expanding separators to centre things doesn't work if there are other things on the panel that need to be at either end.

As I recall, interacting with a panel using the mouse causes it to raise that panel to the surface. The way I see the new system working is that panels never raise their window, they stay at whatever configuration the user wants. The draw order of the panels would be set by dragging and dropping the list of panels in the panel preferences list, to set the order. Perhaps under the "panel" submenu that appears in the context menu of items, there could be an option "send backward" to lower its order by one, just in case.
It looks like I cannot unsubscribe myself, so I will have to close this report. I no longer care about this problem.

You can unsubscribe yourself at the topright, where it says "CC list" followed by "edit". There should be a tickbox to remove yourself.
