I have been using NIxOS for a couple weeks now, at first the wingpanel never hid on me. I did a reset to default settings and I restarted lightdm. Since then wingpanel has been auto hiding.
I find Alt + F2 brings the wing panel back and then using it again brings up the menu.How can I set the wingpanel to stop auto hiding?

I tried looking for solutions online but I have only found one mention that Alt+F2 will bring the wingpanel back but nothing on how to stop it from auto hiding. Which I found here:
Brave-search
Not sure what else to include. Let me know if there is anything I should include by default on all help requests.
