Drawers

A drawer is an extension of a panel. You can open and close a drawer in the same way that you can show and hide a panel. A drawer can contain all panel objects, including launchers, menus, applets, and other drawers. When you open a drawer, you can use the objects in the same way that you use objects on a panel.

You can open a drawer by clicking the drawer's icon. To close the drawer, click the icon again or click the drawer's hide button.

The following figure shows an open drawer that contains two panel objects.

Figure 4-9  Drawer Panel

The arrow on the icon indicates that it represents a drawer or menu.

You can add, move, and remove objects from drawers in the same way that you add, move, and remove objects from panels. You can add a drawer in the same way as you add other objects. For more information, see Adding an Object to a Panel.
