Topic: DE and windows theme panel conflict?

When I was messing around with the Windows Theme option label of the Window Manager Setting window, I think I set off another conflicting panel. Now when I log into the DE session, the DE panel gets pushed to the top alignment by the Windows Theme bottom panel. I go, "What, another DE or WM? I thought I didn't install and set a WM?". Anyways, I am going for a fix to this new panel. Its menu can cancel out both panels, which could be a steep scaled GUI experience. The conflict occurs on a Dell Dimension 4500S.

I hope someone out there can replicate this error so I won't look crazy.
Is there a solution to these conflicts? Maybe that is the reason why WM shells take the place of DE GUI? Of course, if CLI/TUI is a must, I will take a look at the offers.

Re: DE and windows theme panel conflict?

To replicate any kind of error you need to provide a working way to do this with your concrete configurations. Topic closed as you did not provide any further information on:

What installed package(s) causing this?
What configuration is causing this exactly and when did this happen?

Please open another topic / thread with clear information what happened under what circumstances and following steps. Without that there is no way to support.
