ALT+RightClick on the bar and you will have access to all the options available (visually).

hmm, that just gives me some preferences on 'window list content' and 'window grouping'

You must have selected the add-on xD Do the same a little bit more at the centre right of the bar on and empty space and do '''ALT + Right-Click''' and then '''Settings''' (I thing that this is the name used in the English version).

right, hitting alt + Richt-click on the empty space of the bar does nothing.
maybe i don't have that add-on selected? where can i select it?
or is the problem that i use xbindings to simulate a Right-Click by cntl-click, so that alt+right-click becomes alt-cntl-click on the one-botton touchpad of the macbook?

You can do it via terminal if you want.

Set panel auto-hide to true:
$ dconf write /org/gnome/gnome-panel/layout/toplevels/panel/auto-hide true
Set panel location to top:
$ dconf write /org/gnome/gnome-panel/layout/toplevels/panel/orientation "'top'"

that's awsome.
i used dconf-editor to set the properties following the path you specified.
thank you!

i just finished a second fresh install for some reason.

the alt + right-click work now out of the box showing me the wanted preferences.
also the launch bar is opaque now, and not solid black any more.

thank you again for the help

The launchar was never solid black, the original configuration is little transparency with black background, but there are some bugs when the panel becomes semi-opaque semi-black after an update for example, and to solve this you can just go to the settings with the ALT+Right-Click and select the second option (if I remember right since I am now using Gnome-Shell) and there is an option for this, you just have to choose something like (Use Solid Color), select Black and then make the opacity at 0%.
