  1. It looks a little bit complicated.
    To add an application to a panel, I simply lauch the Applications Finder windows (alt+F2) and drag and drop to the panel the applications I want. (you will see a little red line before releasing the mouse button).

    2. That's... Interesting (!); I wonder since what version this had been around, nice ( http://i.imgur.com/1HWgRS3.png ); was -so- cluless, thanks!..;) :)

      Btw., before you destroy your Panel, you can "Backup and restore" it (16.04 LTS) @http://i.imgur.com/rm2oIHQ.png

      w00t! ;dP

    1. Don't stop posting new articles for Xubuntu. I own website related with linux tutorials & linux news and finding your website to be very attractive. I've always loved Kubuntu but never tried Xubuntu and yesterday one friend of my mine told me to give it a try and I did, since then it's installed on my main computer. I really like that it's highly customizable, reminds to arch and most elements to KDE but in the same time all menus reminds me to Debian - kinda distro 3 in 1 (arch,debian,kubuntu) :D

  3. Hello, Wilson. A month without a new post in this blog. I hope you'll fine!

    I'm very happy because I leart how to use Ubuntu One in Xubuntu because of your help. Now, I'm asking for something else. I discovered a great software: RedNotebook. Unfortunately, it doesn't bring synchronisation between two computers. I don't know where I read that it could be possible to sync using Ubuntu One, but any tutorial of how to do it. Do you know if is it possible? If so, could you do a tutorial for this?

    1. RedNotebook uses ~/.rednotebook/data as its default notes location. To synchronize notes add this directory to Ubuntu One. I'll write a more comprehensive explanation as availability arises.
