[SOLVED] lxpanel goes over the application window

Hi All,
  I have 4 monitors and I want the lxpanel to be on monitor 4 but in that configuration the application windows do not take the lxpanel into account and their top panel is obstructed by lxpanel.
The problem is because screen No. 2 without a lxpanel is above screen 4.
Monitors:
1,2
3,4

Has anyone come across this problem and resolved it.
I have checked online and the only solution I found was a suggestion to make lxpanel to auto-hide but this is not an ideal solution.
Please advise.
Thank you
Best regards

Re: [SOLVED] lxpanel goes over the application window

struts are defined in relation to the root window, ie. you cannot have a panel in the center of 4 outputs this way.
Try to put it onto the bottom of that monitor.

Hi seth,
I think you're right. I put it on the bottom - I have oldschool Windows experience.
Thanks!
