2.Choosethe appropriate command from the shortcut menu. If you see a Configure or Preferences dialog box, make your changes andclick Apply to see how that affects your applet without closing thedialog box. You may see more than one configuration dialog box or sub- menu, as is the case for the KNewsTicker applet. 3.Alter the selections in the dialog box tocustomize this applet s behavior. Experiment as much as you want. Just remember that you can always goback and change the settings or remove the applet from your panel later. 4.Close the dialog box. In a Preferences dialog box, click OK to close the window. Settings dialogboxes typically have a button, aptly named Defaults, that enables you torestore your defaults. Removing an appletYou have room for only so many applets. And, if you re like me, you probablydon t want to have every bit of free space cluttered with icons. To remove anapplet from the panel, follow these steps: 1.Right-click the panel on an empty spot. 2.Choose Remove.Applet. The series of submenus opens, and you re finally looking at a list of theapplets you now have on your panel. 3.Choose the applet you want to remove from the panel. The applet is no longer on your panel. Adding programs to your panelYou can also add programs to your KDE Panel. To do so: 1.Right-click on a blank spot on your panel. 2.From the shortcut menu, choose Add.Application Button. 3.From the Application Button submenu, browse to the program youwant to add and select it. The program appears on the left or right of your panel, depending onwhere you have room. (You remove programs from the panel the sameway that you remove applets.) 299Chapter 15: Gettin Gooey with the GUIs21_
