    That sounds a bit painful to configure. How can I just copy-paste a panel over so I don't have to go through the process of recreating the whole setup for a panel? Commented Mar 25, 2017 at 18:11

    Panel configuration is all stored in text files in .config/xfce4. You can edit those files if necessary. Commented Mar 25, 2017 at 21:41

    This is the solution I used however the 'notification area' can not be put on more than one panel. When my laptop is docked I have it on the panel for my middle monitor which is fine, but when I undock I have little control over which panel displays on my laptop screen, and it is never the one with the notification area, so I have to hide the other 2 panels so that the one I need displays. Then when I re-dock I have to unhide them. it kinda sucks... Commented Sep 25, 2018 at 16:29
  • If I'm correct all of this needs to be redone once the additional monitor is reconnected. Also XFCE has difficulty setting a monitor as a primary (I have a laptop and an external monitor with the laptop's display being set to primary yet the panel appearing on the secondary).
