structure for accessing the main applications. It also contains menu items for major<br />

functions like logging out or searching for applications. See Section 5.3.3, “Accessing<br />

the Main Menu” (page 143).<br />

Quick Launcher<br />

Next to the main menu icon, find the quick launcher. It holds some icons for the<br />

most important functions or applications to enable you to start them without going<br />

through the main menu. It also contains an icon for the <strong>SUSE</strong> Help Center, which<br />

provides online help for your system. See Chapter 4, Help and <strong>Documentation</strong><br />

(page 123).<br />

Desktop Previewer<br />

Next to the quick launcher, find the desktop previewer, which shows your different<br />

desktops. These virtual desktops enable you to organize your work. If you use many<br />

programs simultaneously, you might want to run some programs in one desktop<br />

and other programs in the other desktop. To switch between desktops, click the<br />

desktop symbol in the panel.<br />

Taskbar<br />

The taskbar is located next to the desktop previewer. By default, all started applications<br />

are displayed in the taskbar, which allows you to access any application<br />

regardless <strong>of</strong> the currently active desktop. If you click a window title in the taskbar,<br />

the application is moved to the foreground. If it is already in the foreground,<br />

clicking minimizes the application.<br />

System Tray<br />

The rightmost part <strong>of</strong> the panel usually holds the system clock, the volume control,<br />

and several other helper applications.<br />

For information about configuring your panel, see Changing Panel Elements (page 166).<br />

5.3.1 Managing the Trash Bin<br />

The trash bin is a directory for files marked for deletion. Drag icons from the file<br />

manager or the desktop to the trash bin icon by keeping the left mouse button pressed.<br />

Then release to drop them there. Alternatively, right-click an icon and select Move to<br />

Trash from the menu. Click the trash bin icon to view its contents. You can retrieve an<br />

item from the trash if desired.

Hooray! Your file is uploaded and ready to be published.
