After you make any adjustments to your desktop configuration, click Apply to save the changes. Click
OK to close the desktop configuration tool.
Buttons for your desktops appear on the panel in the Desktop Pager. Click on a tile to move to a
different desktop.
Tip
You can use the keyboard combination of the [Ctrl] and Function keys to switch desktops. For exam-
ple, [Ctrl]-[F2] switches to desktop two, [Ctrl]-[F3] takes you to desktop three, and so on.
A.4.2.2. Viewing The Taskbar
The taskbar displays all running applications, both minimized and displayed, on all desktops.
Figure A-7. Applications on the Taskbar
You can maximize running applications or bring them to the front of your working windows by click-
ing on the associated item on the taskbar.
Tip
Another way to bring minimized or background windows to the front is to use the [Alt] and [Tab] keys.
To pick an item from the taskbar, hold down both the [Alt]-[Tab] key. To scroll through the tasks, hold
down the [Alt] key, while tapping the [Tab] key. When you have found the task you want to maximize
and bring to the front, release both keys and the application appears on the desktop.
