Question about dashboard plugins

[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.
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.

for arranging the ‘Application Launch Bar’ part of LXPanel

Hope this helps - Ziggi
