The applet you select appears on the panel, ready for you to use.
Figure 3-9 shows (from left to right) eyes, system monitor, CD player, stock ticker, e-mail Inbox
monitor, and dictionary lookup applets.
FIGURE 3-9
Placing applets on the panel makes it easy to access them.
After an applet is installed, right-click it on the panel to see what options are available. For example,
select Preferences for the stock ticker, and you can add or delete stocks whose prices you want to
monitor. If you don??™t like the applet??™s location, right-click it, click Move, slide the mouse until the
applet is where you want it (even to another panel), and click to set its location.
If you no longer want an applet to appear on the panel, right-click it, and then click Remove From
Panel. The icon representing the applet disappears. If you find that you have run out of room on
your panel, you can add a new panel to another part of the screen, as described in the next section.
Adding Another Panel
You can have several panels on your GNOME desktop. You can add panels that run along the
entire bottom, top, or side of the screen. To add a panel, do the following:
1. Right-click an open space in the panel so that the Panel menu appears.
2. Select New Panel. A new panel appears on the side of the screen.
