Question about dashboard plugins

Post by justinspur »

Hello,
Is it possible to add plugins to put on a dashboard, such as sound volume management, battery status...?
Hope that someone can answer me. Thanks in advance!

Hi Justin,

I presume you mean LXPanel - the Desktop panel for LXDE project rather than dashboard?
If so it is very easy with LXPanel to add volume and battery monitor plugins. :)
Right click the panel.
Select – Panel Settings
From the four tabs select – Panel Applets
This will show you all the – Currently Loaded Plugins
If Volume Control and Battery Monitor are not listed click the +Add icon
This will list all the available plugins to choose from. :geek:
With care you can arrange the panel icons with the up and down arrows.

Perhaps create a new panel and play with that before altering existing panel.

Scroll down to last screenshot :arrow: then click picture 8-) Which should magnify ;)

Also see my reply to:

and the videos and pictures at https://imgur.com/a/XnArxCB & https://imgur.com/a/sR5CGoN
for arranging the ‘Application Launch Bar’ part of LXPanel

Hope this helps - Ziggi
