Introduction

Applets are icons that reside in your panels for launching specific applications and sometimes offering additional functionality. There are many applets available not only in the default Ubuntu installation, but some extras, also. What follows is an explanation of how to use applets and an alphabetical list of the key ones that are available in Ubuntu. (Note: this is currently a work in progress, so more programs will be added)

Using Applets

Assuming you've installed the required applet, or it's part of the default Ubuntu installation, all you need to do is right-click on an empty part of a panel to bring up a menu. Select 'Add to Panel...', to bring up the following choices: <

> Applets?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=scrn-applets1a.jpg <
> <
> Applets?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=scrn-applets2.jpg <
> <
> Applets?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=scrn-applets3.jpg <
> <
> Drag one of the icons to a panel and drop it in there. That's it! (Note: there are, of course, more applets that are available than are listed in these screenshots)

FLOSS: Background and Theory
