-====== Other Unique Xfce Features ===== 
  
-===== Add newlines to a panel ======+====== Xfconf =====
  
-Xfce allows full control over multi-line panel configuratinos, via the Separator component.  Simply add a separator to your panel, move it to where you'd like a new line to begin, edit its properties, and change its "style" drop-down to "New Line."+===== Toggle panel autohide ===== 
 + 
 +Short Bash script to toggle the autohide property of a panel, so you can bind for example a keyboard shortcut to quickly show and hide a panel. 
 + 
 +<code bash> 
 +#!/bin/sh 
 + 
 +test -z "$1" && echo missing panel id  && exit 1 
 +test ! -z "`echo $1 | sed s/[0-9]*//g`" && echo bad panel id  && exit 1 
 + 
 +CHANNEL=xfce4-panel 
 +PANELID=$1 
 +PROP=/panels/panel-$PANELID/autohide 
 + 
 +if `xfconf-query -c $CHANNEL -p $PROP >/dev/null 2>&1`; then 
 +    xfconf-query -c $CHANNEL -T -p $PROP 
 +else 
 +    xfconf-query -c $CHANNEL -n -p $PROP -t bool -s false

 +===== Control per-window transparency =====
  
 +Xfce lets you control the transparency of any window by horizontal scrolling on the titlebar. Starting with 4.12 though, it has been disabled by default. To enable this, open **Settings Editor > xfwm4** and change ''horiz_scroll_opacity'' to true by clicking the checkbox.
