Mint makes panel set up and setting up multiple panels fairly straight forward.
We begin with a right click on the standard panel that Mint setup provides.
Select panel settings
(If you like my set up feel free to just copy my settings, you can modify later to better suit you.)
Next
click on "Add a new Panel"
it will ask you to click on the top or sides. Mint colors the options when you move your cursor over them.
This will give you your second panel at the top or sides,or both if you like, your preference. ":O}
Adding applets to your panels is a bit more tricky, but only in placing applets where you want them on the panel.
Right Click on the panel you want to add applets to then click "Add applets to the panel"
pick and choose what ever you like. Feel free to try the unknown, if you don't like what you got dump it! just right click on the offender and select delete. Made a mistake and want it back? just reinstall. Mint forgives just about everything.
How to move applets about in your panels.
Right click on the panel you wish to work with. Select "panel edit mode."
This will change the color of your panels. As long as your in Edit mode you will not be able to click your icons and get a response. instead you will be able to move your icons about in the panel and order them to your taste...somewhat...Some times your icons will only move as a group.
Mint is always improving the panel setup, I noticed more than a few changes for the better as moved about in panel settings in writing this.
I'm sure you will have further questions. Just know that this forums lives for and by questions":O}
