How to expand YouTube to fullscreen minus the Panel

[torreydale]

I have my Panel in the default location (on the bottom of the screen).  When I open a YouTube video to full screen, is there a way to have the full screen area to be everything but the Panel?

You can hide the panel.  It will only pop up when you run the cursor to the bottom of the monitor.  Right click on the panel, choose "panel options".  In the new window, click "Automatically show and hide the panel" then close that window.  I hate seeing the panel.  I have reasonably large monitors and still hate to lose the real estate.

It sounds to me like he wants the panel to stay on top, or the full screen to stop at the panel and leave the panel showing.

Ahh.  In that case, once you start a YT video, click on the screen icon in the lower right hand side of the YouTube video window.  (Since they updated it, it looks like the 4 corners of a window.)  That should expand the YT window to full screen.

Unless I've misunderstood your question again.  In that case, I have no idea.

You have misunderstood.  I know how to full screen the video.  But it covers up the panel.  Auto hiding the panel isn't what I'm after, and it doesn't work in full screen anyway.

This is not exactly what you asked for but might be useful when full screen try hitting the window/Super button it should open the menu and show the panel.

Isn't that typical operation?? F11 a browser window it covers the panel, same functionality in Windows...

Unless theres an "Always On Top" for the panel?? (I don't see one right off...)
