The Panel Style selection lets you change the size of the
Panel from Medium to Tiny, Small, or Large.
 Hiding??”Certain selections enable you to autohide the panel or use hide buttons. Under
the Hide Mode heading, choose whether to hide the panel only when a panel hiding button
is clicked or to hide it automatically after a set number of seconds when the cursor is not
in the panel area. You can also show or not show hiding buttons. Sliders let you select the
delay and speed at which panels and buttons are hidden.
 Menus??”Unlike with the GNOME main menu, with KDE you have the capability to
manipulate the main menu from the GUI. Click the Edit K Menu button. The KDE Menu
editor that appears lets you cut, copy, paste, remove, and modify submenus and applications
from your main menu.
 Appearance??”You can change the panel background (transparency or background image)
or button backgrounds (using colors or patterns). You can also change whether or not
tooltips appear when you move your mouse over a desktop item.
 Taskbar??”Change how the taskbar looks and behaves. From the Actions box, choose
what action occurs from clicking each mouse button on the taskbar. You can also choose
how windows are sorted and displayed on the taskbar.
Adding Application Launchers and MIME Types
You want to be able to quickly access the applications that you use most often.
