Any control in the Main Panel can have a subpanel.

To Add a Subpanel

  1. Point to a control in the Main Panel that does not have a subpanel.

  2. Choose Add Subpanel from the control's pop-up menu.

To Remove a Subpanel

  1. Point to the control whose subpanel you want to remove.

To Replace a Control in the Main Panel

The easiest way to replace a control in the Main Panel is to exchange it with a subpanel control. If the control does not have a subpanel, you can create one temporarily or permanently.

  1. If the control you want to replace does not have a subpanel, create one by choosing Add Subpanel from the control's pop-up menu.

  2. Display the new subpanel.

  3. If the control you want to put in the Main Panel is not already in the subpanel, add it to the subpanel.

    See “To Add an Application or Other Icon to a Subpanel”.

  4. Choose Copy to Main Panel from the subpanel control's pop-up menu.

To Remove All User Customizations

NOTE: This procedure does not affect advanced customizations made by manually editing Front Panel configuration files.
  1. Open Application Manager and double-click the Desktop_Tools application group icon.

  2. Double-click Restore Front Panel.

    The screen will go blank for several seconds while the Workspace Manager is restarted.

The Restore Front Panel action removes all customization made using:

  • The Install Icon control

  • The Front Panel's pop-up menus
