Hi all, about to install latest LMDE with Cinnamon. I like my taskbar / dock on the left, to make better use of real estate.

Mint doesn't have that option to move it to the left.

Can I ask if anyone has done this, in a good, usable way?

Thanks for your help.

Can you just right click it and move it?

you can, and I'm now embarrased :-) Thank you

Mint doesn't have that option to move it to the left.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're asking for, but can't you put it on the left by right-clicking on the panel, clicking "move", and then clicking the left side of the screen? (I put my panel on the top instead of the bottom that way.)

Can't believe I missed it! Thank you

I came here to ask the same question, and I swear that the last time I tried to move it, the only options were top and bottom, but now I can put it to the side like I prefer, thanks!
