3.3 Configuring the Panel
You can customize the KDE panel according to your preferences: Applications and
widgets can be added to the quick launch area or the system tray in the main panel or
to additional panels. Panel elements and additional panels can be moved to different
places or be completely removed at any time.
Procedure 3.7
Customizing the Panel
1
Right-click an empty patch in the panel and select Panel Settings to access
any panel configuration options. If the menu item is not available, your desktop
objects are probably locked. To unlock, right-click and select Unlock Widgets.
2
To move panel objects to a different place within the panel, hover the mouse
cursor over the respective panel object (for example, program icon, pager,
task manager, system tray) . The mouse cursor turns into a crosslines-like
form. Move the cursor to the desired position in the panel, then click again to
fix the object in the new position.
3
To change the panel width, click and drag the small arrow icons at the far left
and right end of the settings panel.
4
To change the panel height, click the Height button and move the mouse cursor
to the desired end location.
5
To place the panel at different sides of the screen use the Screen Edge button.
Drag and drop the panel to the preferred location.
6
If you need additional widgets on your panel, add them with the Add Widgets...
button as described in
Step 2
(page 41).
7
To remove program icons or widgets from the panel, right-click the respective
object and select the menu item to remove the icon or widget.
