Excellent !!! thank you very very very much dear Juanito and dear nitram
i achieved exactly what i needed in TCL
yes i meant the bottom toolbar which you called wbar
this command exectly did what i needed:
tc@box:~$ killall wbar
tc@box:~$ wbar &

now my final step here is to try adding these 2 lines of code in a startup file which i guess is the same onboot.lst to check whether my desirable setting will apply automatically every time my TCL virtual machine starts.
i that works, i will close this threat

i checked out onnbot.lst but seems false place to pase these 3 lines of codes:

xrandr --output Virtual1 --mode 800x600
tc@box:~$ killall wbar
tc@box:~$ wbar &

so what file in i can add above lines of commands so that everytime i power on my TCL virtuam machine, they be executed automatically ?
 i swear this would be my final question  ;)

Juanito:
You might want to read the tinycore book:

http://tinycorelinux.net/book.html

..onboot.lst is for loading extensions on boot.

/opt/bootlocal.sh is the place for commands to run on startup and /home/tc/.X.d is the place for commands to run when the gui starts.

Juanito:
If you create a file such that:
--- Code: ---$ cat /home/tc/.X.d/xrandr
xrandr --output Virtual1 --mode 800x600
--- End code ---

..you won't need to restart wbar.

You can test by exiting to the prompt and then "startx"

You will need a backup for the xrandr file to persist across reboots

i am really sorry for my poor knowledge here. i am a Microsoft specialist and i have spent lots of years on Microsoft advanced networking services and i am an expert in my filed.
i can provide great help if someone needs on advanced windows server services.
but i am not familiar with Linux base and it is not reasonable to expect i be familiar with Linux base
because of that i need the exact procedure instead of getting a general help statement.
so if possible please provide me a precise step-by-step procedure in order to being able to do that.

for example i need someone tell me such guide:
open a terminal
type this command "...something...." to create a new script file here :  /home/tc/.X.d
inside that script file, type in these 3 lines of commands:
xrandr --output Virtual1 --mode 800x600
tc@box:~$ killall wbar
tc@box:~$ wbar &
