4 To remove a mini program from the desktop or the control bar, right-click on
the mini program and select Remove....
Procedure 2.3: Conguring mini programs
1 Hold the mouse pointer over a mini program until a translucent frame appears
around the mini program which displays a row of icons:
If the frame does not appear, your mini programs are probably xed. Release
these rst, as described in Section 2.5.1, “Fixing and approving desktop ob-
jects” (page 15).
2 To change the size of the mini program, click on the ruler symbol in the frame
with the left mouse button and keep the mouse button depressed while you
slowly move the pointer over the desktop.
3 To rotate the mini program in one direction, click on the curved arrow symbol
in the frame with the left mouse button and keep the mouse button depressed
while you drag the mouse pointer in a circular motion over the desktop. There
is a locking limit on the horizontal and vertical positions to which you can
“ax” the mini program if necessary. Of course, you can also place it in any
appropriate position.
4 To change the content, the settings or the properties of a mini program, click
on the spanner icon in the frame with the left mouse button. Determine the
options as desired in the conguration dialog box which is now displayed.
Control bars are available to gain more space for your own programs.
Procedure 2.4: Adding and removing control bars
1 Right-click on an empty space on the desktop, select Add control bar, and a
control bar type from the list.
If these menu entries are not available, your desktop elements are probably
xed. In this case, rst right-click and select Unlock mini programs.
