Shortcuts on the panel?

Post by georgetoon »

Hi, folks. It's been a long time since i've been up here. I was a Linux Mint user a number of years ago. Well, I'm still a LM user. I run it in VM and download the Live CDs checing out things.:) Terrific Distro!:)

Anyhow, my brother had an older computer box and I wiped Windows of and tried several distros. the heardware was a bit older so it was a challenge finding one tht worked. Well, Linux Mint with the XCFE DE did the trick!

I'm now setting things up. i updated the system and I even did an uupdate to the Whisker menu so categories would display on the left and subcategories on the right.

I'd lie ot add shortcuts to programs on the bottom panel miuch like Windows. Is ther a way to do this? Only option I se is a launcher and then add apps to that. you have one icon on the panel but cliking brings up the menu with all the programs you want. Not bad, but I thin I would prefer to have them lined along the panel one at a time.

Simply add a seperate launcher for each program you want to have in the panel.
