How do I hide the panels in fallback mode using the command line?

Solution 1:

As an alternative to gsettings you can use dconf from the command line as well.

For example

dconf write /org/gnome/gnome-panel/layout/toplevels/bottom-panel/auto-hide true

This will write the value TRUE to the auto-hide key.

If you need to see the keys in a path then use the list parameter

For example:

dconf list /org/gnome/gnome-panel/layout/toplevels/top-panel/

Remember to start with a / and end with a / for paths.
