Configuring the Panorama panel
The panel loads all its configuration from a file
~/.config/panorama-panel/config.yaml. The format has a single top-level key
panels which is a list of the panels to generate. Each panel has the following
keys:
position:top,right,bottomorleft; specifies the edge of the monitor to show the panel onmonitor: the index of the monitor to show the panel on (usually refers to the order in which the monitors are plugged in)size: the thickness of the panel in pixelsautohide: whether the panel automatically hides leaving only 1pxhide_time: the duration in ms of the sliding animation (not applicable ifautohideisfalse)can_capture_keyboard: whether the panel can receive keyboard focus (works best with special compositor setup; check accessibility.md for details)applets: a dictionary with keysleft,centre,right; they are actually named wrong and are start/centre/end areas, each key has a list of applets, each applet is described by a dictionary with a single key being the class name and the value being a dictionary with configuration options (the options depend on the applet)
Example:
panels:
- position: top
monitor: 0
size: 40
autohide: false
hide_time: 300
applets:
left:
- WFWindowList: {}
centre: []
right:
- ClockApplet:
formatting: '%T, %a %-d %b %Y'
The order the panels are specified in decides how they occupy the screen, thus, if you specify panel 1 on top, panel 2 on left, and panel 3 on bottom it will look like:

The panel loads all its configuration from a file
5
`~/.config/panorama-panel/config.yaml`. The format has a single top-level key
6
`panels` which is a list of the panels to generate. Each panel has the following
7
keys:
8
* `position`: `top`, `right`, `bottom` or `left`; specifies the edge of the
10
monitor to show the panel on
11
* `monitor`: the index of the monitor to show the panel on (usually refers
12
to the order in which the monitors are plugged in)
13
* `size`: the thickness of the panel in pixels
14
* `autohide`: whether the panel automatically hides leaving only 1px
15
* `hide_time`: the duration in ms of the sliding animation (not applicable
16
if `autohide` is `false`)
17
* `can_capture_keyboard`: whether the panel can receive keyboard focus
18
(works best with special compositor setup; check
19
[accessibility.md](accessibility.md) for details)
20
* `applets`: a dictionary with keys `left`, `centre`, `right`; they are actually
21
named wrong and are start/centre/end areas, each key has a list of applets,
22
each applet is described by a dictionary with a single key being the class
23
name and the value being a dictionary with configuration options (the options
24
depend on the applet)
