✨ NAME ✨

mate-panel — The Panel for the MATE Desktop Environment

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mate-panel [OPTIONS]

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe. options optional, icon behavior mandatory. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so mate-panel is the program that gives you the panels for the MATE Desktop Environment. it's the area on your desktop where you run applications and applets, and do, like, all your other tasks. and the applets? they're not locked in — new applets may also be installed, added to, or removed from the panels. very "decorate your dorm room" of it, honestly.

by default, mate-panel typically creates a panel on the top of the screen, with applets such as a Menu Bar, Notification Area, and Clock. and while it's at it, it creates a second panel on the bottom of the screen with a Window List and a Workspace Switcher. two panels. main character energy in stereo. ✨

and the panels aren't stuck where they land — they can be created, deleted, moved around the desktop, and moved to other monitors. go wherever your heart (and your second display) desires, babe.

this manual page documents the mate-panel command. that's the whole point of this whole thing. 🫶

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• --replace — replaces a currently running instance of mate-panel. out with the old, in with the new, no cap.
• --reset — resets the panel configuration to the default setting. factory reset but make it fashion.
• --run-dialog — opens the "Run Application" dialog, which you can also get to by pressing ALT+F2. shortcut girlies, we see you. 😌
• --display=DISPLAY — the X display to use. tell it where to show up.
• -?, -h, --help — prints the standard command line options. your little helper. 🎀
• --help-all — prints all the command line options. not just the standard ones, all of them. completionist behavior, obsessed. 🔥

also, this program accepts the standard GTK options too. so there's even more where that came from. 💜
