Panels

Specifies the settings for the clock, network monitor, window list and workspace switcher applets, as well as the main panel. The Lockdown Additional Applets section can be used to set and lock the position of any other non-default applets.

Clock

Position

If enabled, the user may not move the applet without first unlocking the object using the "Unlock" item in the context menu for this applet on the desktop.

Position from Left of Screen

Specifies the position of this panel object by the number of pixels from the left (or top if vertical) panel edge.

Hour Format

The options available to choose from in the drop down menu are:

12 Hour - Displays time in 12 hour format.

24 Hour - Displays time in 24 hour format.

Internet Time - Displays internet time. The internet time system divides the day into 1000 ".beats". There are no time zones in this system, so time is the same all over the world..

UNIX Time - Display UNIX time (i.e. in seconds since Epoch, 1970-01-01).

Show Date

If enabled, displays the date in the clock, in addition to the time.

Show Seconds

If enabled, displays seconds in time.

Network Monitor

Position

Specifies whether the user can move the applet without first unlocking the object using the "Unlock" item in the context menu for this applet on the desktop.

Position from Left of Screen

Type a value for the position of this panel object. The position is specified by the number of pixels from the left (or top if vertical) panel edge.

Window List

Position

Specifies whether the user can move the applet without first unlocking the object using the "Unlock" item in the context menu for this applet on the desktop.

Position from Left of Screen

Type a value for the position of this panel object. The position is specified by the number of pixels from the left (or top if vertical) panel edge.

Minimum Width

Specifies the minimum width that the window list requests.

Maximum Width

Specifies the maximum width that the window list requests. The maximum width setting is useful for limiting the size of the window list in large panels, where the window list could fill the entire space available.

Workspace Switcher

Position

Specifies whether the user can move the applet without first unlocking the object using the "Unlock" item in the context menu for this applet on the desktop.

Position from Left of Screen

Type a value for the position of this panel object. The position is specified by the number of pixels from the left (or top if vertical) panel edge.

Number of Rows

Specifies how many rows (for horizontal layout) or columns (for vertical layout) the workspace switcher shows the workspaces in. This setting is only relevant if the "Display All Workspaces" setting is enabled.

Display All Workspaces

If enabled, the workspace switcher shows all workspaces. Otherwise it only shows the current workspace.

Workspace Names

If enabled, the workspaces in the workspace switcher display the names of the workspaces. Otherwise they display the windows on the workspace.

Main Panel

Height

Determines the height (width for a vertical panel) of the panel. The panel determines at runtime a minimum size based on the font size and other indicators. The maximum size is fixed at one quarter of the screen height (or width).

Autohide

If enabled, the panel is automatically hidden into a corner of the screen when the pointer leaves the panel area. Moving the pointer to that corner again causes the panel to reappear.

Orientation

Specifies the orientation of the panel. Available options are:

Top - Horizontal panel at top of screen.

Bottom - Horizontal panel at bottom of screen.

Left - Vertical panel at left edge of screen.

Right - Vertical panel at right edge of screen.

Lockdown Additional Applets

The position and locked properties of other existing applets can be set using the "Lockdown Additional Applets" section. In order to configure the lockdown properties of an existing applet, click the "New" button in the "Lockdown Additional Applets" section. At the pop-up prompt, tyoe the name of the applet on the user's machine that you want to configure, and click OK. The applet name appears in the "Lockdown Additional Applets List". Clicking the applet name loads a new page, which allows you to set the position of this applet in the main panel and to lock its position if required.
