Question

Discuss the main components of the top panel in GNOME2.

Answer 1

Panels are generally the fields on the desktop through which a person can access the entire system applications and menus.  A particularly important panel is called the Menu Panel. The Menu Panel extends to the whole width of the top edge on the screen.

The main components of the top panel in GNOME 2 are as follows:

• Applications menu: It includes all applications and configuration tools. The menu also involves the file manager and the help browser.
• Actions menu: It includes different controls that perform desktop environment functions.
