How to remove/hide the entire top panel?

I searched for it but could not find a solution. This thing is really driving my nuts. I could not even imagine that it would be so difficult.

Answers from this topic didn't help me.

This is not what I want.

wmctrl -r ":ACTIVE:" -b toggle,fullscreen

CompizConfig doesn't help too. it leaves top panel half transparent anyway.

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

Also can't install HideTopBar gnome extension.

  • It's not possible, here's the reason: https://askubuntu.com/questions/115672/why-cant-the-unity-panel-be-hidden – pomsky Oct 15 '17 at 03:23
  • It's a pity. What Linux distro would you advise in order to hide all system elements from desktop screen? – mr.boris Oct 15 '17 at 04:34
  • @mr.boris: We don't recommend other Linux distributions than Ubuntu on Ask *Ubuntu*. However you may want to try some of the other officially supported desktop environments in Ubuntu: GNOME Shell, MATE, KDE, Xfce and LXDE. – David Foerster Oct 15 '17 at 07:06
  • Ok, thank you. Is it possible to solve this task on Ubuntu using **GNOME Shell** or **MATE** or **KDE** or **Xfce** or **LXDE**? I'm just tired of trying... I want to know exactly. – mr.boris Oct 15 '17 at 08:23
  • @mr.boris It is possible to autohide top/bottom panel in Ubuntu MATE and Kubuntu. Probably can be done in GNOME shell too with the "Hide Top Bar" extension. Don't know about Xfce or LXDE. – pomsky Oct 15 '17 at 11:12
  • @mr.boris: The Xfce4 desktop has a configurable panel or none, if you so want. –  Oct 15 '17 at 22:55
  • @pomsky Than you, I tried to install "Hide Top Bar" extension for GNOME shell but I have a problem with GNOME shell integration with the browser, so I can't install any extensions for it now. – mr.boris Oct 17 '17 at 03:51
  • @WillemK Than you, I'll try Xfce. I hope it will work. – mr.boris Oct 17 '17 at 03:55
  • @mr.boris You can always manually install extensions by using Tweak Tool or extracting the extension folder to `~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions` and then activate the extension using Tweak Tool. – pomsky Oct 17 '17 at 08:39
