<p>You can move the Deskbar to any corner or as a bar along the upper or lower border of the screen by gripping the knobbly area on one side of the tray (see arrows above) and drag & drop it into the new position.<br/>
You can also fold it into a more compact layout by drag & dropping the knobbly area onto Deskbar's Leaf menu. Being only the height of a regular window tab, even windows that take up the whole screen won't obscure the Deskbar tray with its clock and icons.</p>
<p>A wider Deskbar allows for more icons in the tray on a single row. It also truncates longer application names in the list of running programs less often, especially if you use larger icons.</p>
<p>While the first couple of menu items of the Deskbar are fixed, you can customized the ones below <spanclass="menu">Shutdown...</span>.<br/>
Here you can set the number of recent documents, folders and applications that are shown in their menu in the Deskbar, or if you want to see them at all.<br/>
The button <spanclass="button">Edit in Tracker...</span> opens the folder <spanclass="path">~/config/settings/deskbar/menu/</span>. In it you'll find the files and folders that appear in the Deskbar, by default these are <spanclass="menu">Applications</span>, <spanclass="menu">Demos</span>, <spanclass="menu">Deskbar applets</span>, and <spanclass="menu">Preferences</span>.<br/>
You can delete or add entries like links to applications, documents or even queries by simply copying/deleting them to/from this folder.</p>
<!-- <p _translation_id="432">It's even easier to simply drag a file, folder or saved query and drop it where you want it into the Deskbar.</p> -->
<divclass="box-info"><p>Programs installed from a package automatically put an entry into the Deskbar. Depending on the number of packages you have installed, this can become a bit crowded. If you prefer to have total control, and only want to see applications you link there yourself (possibly in categorizing sub-folders), here's how to do it:<br/>
You create a link of the <spanclass="path">menu</span> folder in <spanclass="path">~/config/settings/deskbar/</span> and rename to <spanclass="path">menu_entries</span>. From Terminal that is achieved with:</p>
<tr><td><spanclass="menu">自动提升</span></td><td></td><td>The Deskbar pops to the front when the mouse pointer touches where the Deskbar meets the screen edge, and is lowered when it leaves the Deskbar area.</td></tr>
<p>You can change to a specific running application by clicking on its entry in the Deskbar and choosing (one of) its windows from the submenu. By right-clicking you can <spanclass="menu">Hide/Show all</span> windows or <spanclass="menu">Close all</span> and with them the entire application.</p>
<p>A <spanclass="key">SHIFT</span><spanclass="key">CTRL</span> click on an application hides all its windows, a <spanclass="key">CTRL</span> click shows them again.</p>
<p>When using the "expander" setting to show all windows of an application, you can middle-click on a window or app to start a new instance. For example, middle-clicking a running StyledEdit will open a new document window.<br/>
Maybe more useful: while holding <spanclass="key">SHIFT</span>, a middle-click on a window closes it. Handy when you'd like to close some of many open Tracker windows, for example.</p>
<divclass="box-info">Sometimes an application may hang and even though all its windows are gone, the entry in the list of running applications in the Deskbar just won't disappear. In such a situation you use the Vulcan Death Grip to get rid of it: hold <spanclass="key">SHIFT</span><spanclass="key">CTRL</span><spanclass="key">ALT</span> and click on the offending entry in the Deskbar. Fascinating!</div>
