Red Hat LINUX 7.2 Manual page 185

Section A.1:Introduction 185
If you are instructed to click with the mouse on something, that means click the left mouse button. If
you need to use the middle or right mouse button, that will be explicitly stated. (Of course, this will
be reversed if you have configured your mouse to be used by a left handed person.)
The phrase "drag and drop" may be familiar to you. If you are instructed to drag and drop an item on
your GUI desktop, click on the icon in question and hold the mouse button down. While continuing
to hold down the mouse button, drag the item (by moving the mouse) to a new location. When you
have reached the desired location, release the mouse button to drop the item.
A.1.4 Using Screen Savers and Desktop Themes
Screen savers are not just entertaining, they can also save your monitor from damage. Much like a
film strip that burns when it gets stuck in front of the projector's bulb, your monitor can "burn" if it
stays on and idle for too long.
You can choose a screen saver and set the amount of time that will pass before it is displayed from
your control center. Access the control center from the option on the panel's main menu.
Settings
Desktop themes just look nice. They serve no other purpose. Themes combine colors, images, and
fonts for display on your desktop, the borders of windows, etc. They look good, but some of the more
intricate themes can slow down your computer.
Settings for themes also can be accessed through the control center.
A.1.5 Basic Web Browser Navigation
A Web browser is a program used to view pages on the Internet, such as Mozilla or Netscape.
Browsers generally have similar navigational functions. The toolbar on a browser window holds but-
tons that can take you back and forth between pages you have recently viewed, referesh your screen
so the latest information from the website you are visiting is shown, and so on.
There is a field near the top of the screen where you can manually enter a website address, rather than
click on a link or do a search. This field is usually labelled with Location , Address , URL , Go To , or
something similar. If it is not labelled, it is likely to be the only place near the top of the screen where
text can be typed at all.
