** Description changed: Xubuntu 11.10, i386 I would like to have XFCE4 panel in vertical orientation on the left (or right). There is an option in to configure panel in vertical orientation. I like it. But the developers did't test this option well and the layout is not usable: 1) window buttons are placed vertically and I cannot change them to horizontal orientation (that is logical, because we write from left to right, not from top to down); space on panel will be used more efficiently. 2) some icons and indicators are too big when I change panel width; like keyboard layout indicator or workspace switch I attach a screenshot. Layout is not nice. LXDE develops did much better work when they thought about panel design. I attach a screenshot of LXDE desktop with panel in vertical orientation; that is almost perfect design! I would like to have similar layout in XFCE4 desktop. WinXP programmers did great work (long time ago) too; I attach a WinXP panel in similar configuration for your reference. + + Could be design of XFCE panel fixed in Xubuntu 12.04?
