I'm trying out Unity again and I managed to hide the launcher so it doesnot display at all for most applications.Now I would like to slightly increase the size of the panel at the topof the desktop. I could not find out how to do that yet. Does anyoneknow?
It is not possible to resize the top panel in Unity so far. That may changewith 12.04. I think that this is the case with GNOME Shell as well, so itmay be inherited from GNOME 3, as both Unity and GS are shells built on topof GNOME 3.
