The K Desktop Environment

6.2. Drag and drop operations

6.2.1. Dragging the Panel

While the Kicker panel is initially at the bottom of your screen, you can move it to other places of your screen. Click on an empty part of the panel, hold your mouse button and drag the panel to the left, to the right or to the top of the screen. That's it!

6.2.2. Dragging Applications

Appplications embedded on the panel can be dragged to some other place within the panel. Right click on an icon of the application, and choose Move from the pop-up menu:

Applet Dragging

Tip

Applications embedded in the panel cannot be dragged out of the panel. If you want application icons that can move freely on your screen, read the documentation for KDE Desktop.

6.2.3. Applet Handles

Each applet has a handle. A handle is actually a dotted double vertical line.

Each of the handles can be freely dragged and dropped; thus you can move the applet within the panel, and arrange Kicker to suit your preference.

Right click the handle to display a local menu for the applet. Local menu lets you move the applet within the panel, or remove the applet from the panel completely.

Tip

You can configure the appearance of handles. Get more information in the Look & Feel section of the Configuration chapter.

Left click the handle to drag the applet to the desired position within the panel.
