Man pages pin the profile layout exactly. A prefs dialog edits the same files the manual names. Restart the panel to apply hand edits.

Frequently asked questions
How do I back up LXPanel?
Copy the profile folder with the panel stopped. Panel file plus config and gtkrc travel together. Restoring means putting the folder back and restarting the panel.
Which profile is live?
A profile flag selects among installed profiles with default and distro names common. Check the running profile before scripting. System trees seed each profile.
