the Best Panel Setup (Bob Rules 5eva)

How do you have your panels set up? I only started using them instead of my beloved BoB around two months ago and honestly, panels suck. There are times I can't see the entire chat box etc. and it's frustrating. BoB was literally perfection. I miss my BoB. Anyway, how do you have your panels setup? Screenshots would be great.
I miss having the option to toggle dead, have my chat above the map, being able to toggle map inspect and colour codes whilst in a game, rather than having to go to the settings, adjust, and come back. Panels are impractical, bulky and not even close to the quality BoB provided.

I usually put Snapshot and chat on the right side of the map.
Action is below the map, detached from the other panel.
Everything else is below action.
I have to move overview and so on n the right when I play very small map such as Ireland, and I put the chat below for big map such as KCII and USA 2.1 for example.
You can still toggle dead and colour codes whilst in a game.
For the map inspect it's right you have to go back to the settings ( as far as I know).

Yeah, I have the same setup. I just figured out how to toggle colour codes, but no idea how to toggle dead. I only use either of them for Battle Royales anyway.

On overview panel upper left it says "players" in the title bar. Next is a depiction of some army man. Click that = toggle dead

Further proof that panels are vastly inferior to BoB.

I prefer Panels. I keep chat down below the map. On the right side, I keep Stats on top, Log at the bottom, and Action in between them.
Like so:
- Click image to enlarge.
The Hide Dead button is clearly visible at the top, btw.

I don't have that "hide dead" button which is supposedly clearly visible at the top, btw. That's an interesting setup. I might try it, once I figure out how these fucking panels even move.

I have pretty much the same setup as duku, except my log is intergrated into the top right box. I love panels, even more than bob... the only thing I loved about bob was the odds calculator I had added in. Not sure that is possible in panels. That is the only thing about either that i think could ever be called cheating owen... everything else is just readily available info made easier to access. If anyone should respect properly organized information it should be the "use the proper thread nazi"

You should change the name of that thread to 'How to use the Panel Interface'
My 2013 Honda doesn't feel very new anymore...

Yes, I know it's that button. I'm just saying what Dukasaur showed, I do not see.

My setup is now the same as Duk's. I thought you moved the panels by dragging them, not just a simple click. Panels points increase by 0.25.

This just means Panels have 0.25pts vs BoB on 15.

Panels now loses those points and is on 0.05pts after I realised the "toggle dead" option still keeps the row and troops, only removing the player's name.

That's not how it works for me. It completely removes the row for me.
Are there add-ons you have turned on? Try turning everything off, including reloading your browser. See if you still have the same problem.

I'm at work with literally no add-ons, no scripts, nothing.

For me it works fine, just like for Duk.

I wondered if it was related to the different settings for "text map" but that didn't affect it.
Panels now goes down to 0pts since when I change my layout, it doesn't stay that way for the next time I log in to take my turns.

It does stay the same, but it has to be on the same computer, it works through your cookies. If you clean your cookies, then you'll have to do it again.

It removes the rows of dead players if they were killed in a previous round, but not the current one. Mediocre.

Never used Bob...just started using panels 2 months ago...prob would have helped my game on those foggy maps
I still like old-school...just use it for snaps on foggy
Agree though its too clustered...agree with above suggestions
