I also can't add an extra panel or view my notifications, since they are hidden. Help. Please. I couldn't find anything through Google.

Move top to bottom. Add panel to side, put on this panel the disk-mount, sys monitor, keyboard indicator, notification and window selector applets. Don't set it autohide, but minimum width. Next to this set up conky on the desktop, and set the bottom panel to hide - the menu, windows selector, stuff you don't need to see. Now to select windows, use the 'scale windows' applet, or pop up the bottom bar. To use the menu hit Alt F1 and arrows and learn to use something like launchy, gnome-do, or ALT F2 to launch stuff. This way you have full vertical screen space - best for browsing - and no annoying pop down panel when you try to access the top bar of a window (tried autohiding the top menu bar?) out of 1440x900 I have available almost the full 900 (take away 20 px for vertical windows, due to decorations) and plenty of width (1030 is big enough for nearly all sites I go to) so I have spare room at the sides for other stuff too.
