Bottom Edge Panel

On startup, an edge panel stretches the full length of the bottom edge of the screen. Figure 4–2 shows a typical bottom edge panel. Your system administrator might have set your default bottom edge panel according to your local requirements, so you might see a slightly different bottom edge panel.

The bottom edge panel contains the following applets:

• Window List: Displays a button for each window that is open. Window List enables you to minimize and restore windows.

• Workspace Switcher: Enables you to navigate between your workspaces.

You can change the behavior and appearance of your bottom edge panel to suit your requirements. You can also add or remove objects from your bottom edge panel. You can create multiple panels, and choose different properties, objects, and backgrounds for each panel. You can also hide panels.
