Does anyone know how to make the Mate desktop panel stay the original size, but instead of stacking different windows on top of each other have each different window side-by-side?

E.g if I have abrowser and control panel open at the same time one will be on top of the other and only the third opened window will go to the side, I wanted it to go to the side starting from the second open window.

A solution I've found was to make the panel shorter (y axis) and it would force the new windows to the side, however I want to keep the original thickness of the panel.

Thanks!

I also struggled with that, my solution was to have a thick panel at the bottom for menus and programs shortcuts, and a thin one on top of that for the windows. Being both of the same color it doesn't look as bad. But I wanted to have the windows thick too and could never get it. I don't mind it anympre.

Thanks for the reply! I found that 35 thickness in the properties of the panel made it as thick as possible with single windows, looks a tad small but I guess its the best solution...

You could also go to Control Center -> Appearance -> Fonts and change
"Application font" to a larger size. That will increase the font size of
the window buttons, allowing you to increase the size of the panel
without the window buttons stacking.
