The panel (in KDE also called "Kicker") is a bar, typically located at the top or the
bottom of the screen. It is designed to provide information about running applications
or the system and easy access to some important functions or applications. If you hold
your pointer over an icon, a short description is displayed.
Figure 1.3 KDE Panel (Kicker)
The panel typically consists of the following areas:
Main Menu Icon
By default, the left end of the panel has an icon that opens the main menu (in KDE
also called K menu), similar to the start button on the MS Windows desktop. The
main menu has a well-ordered structure for accessing the main applications. It also
contains menu items for major functions like logging out or searching for applica-
tions. For more information, see
(page 10).
Quick Launcher
Next to the main menu icon, find the quick launcher. It holds some icons for the
most important functions or applications to enable you to start them without going
through the main menu. It also contains an icon for the Help Center, which provides
online help for your system.
