I tried it years ago. I did not like it, too much space taken out.
Fair enough.
To each their own, or /chacun à son goût/. Or /de gustibus non est disputandam/ if you prefer it more classical. :-)
:-) On this other laptop (with Leap 42.3) I have the panel on autohide. On my tiny laptop I don't, I don't remember why. I think that sometimes it doesn't hide (and I have to move the mouse over it) or that when it hides there was a line hiding something of the main windows. I might try vertical again.
It is more or less a deal-breaker for me. I don't mind a horizontal panel too much on a 4:3 screen but on widescreens I always want it to be vertical.
It would have to be on autohide for me, or it would take too much space out of text writing applications (mail, office, etc).
Unity and macOS deprive me of that, but they do use the top panel heavily. The space is thus well-used.
One of the things that annoys me about GNOME 3 is that huge almost-totally-empty top panel with a clock sitting in the middle surrounded by acres of empty space. I am not _that_ bothered about the time. They even go to great lengths to collapse multiple indicators into single icons, so there can be even _more_ empty wasted space!
It's not merely pointless, it's actively wasting my expensive pixels.
I was a Gnome user for more than a decade, but with version 3 I had to run away, and found XFCE instead. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
