How to set horizontal menu bar at start up via .xml

im using Transparency for to update my build to k17. and for my build to look and work as i want it, i dont want the vertical menu to auto load

i know you can set the horizontal menu from within the settings and i know how to remove that setting from the setting page via .xml editing.

but what i dont want, is for someone to install my build and for it to automatically load into the vertical menu, when i’ve already disabled the horizontal button in the settings page.

in a previous version of my build on k16, i used this code in the Startup.xml file to achieve this.

and as a test, i also tried this

but they do not work. can anyone help me out on this?

thanks
