Restore Taskbar

[Valtam]

Seems to be a problem that crops up from time to time. Will be a new feature in Lite Tweaks coming soon. In the meantime, here's how to restore a messed up taskbar to the originally installed state.

Open a Terminal:

Code:

xfce4-panel --quit
pkill xfconfd
rm -rf ~/.config/xfce4/panel
rm -rf ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-panel.xml

Code:

cp -R /etc/skel/.config/xfce4/panel ~/.config/xfce4/
cp /etc/skel/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-panel.xml ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/
xfce4-panel &

I have done this very thing and I just rebooted the system and it was back up.


Good to know though!!

The ability to do this is now served via Lite Tweaks > Taskbar Restore.
