Is it possible to create shortcuts to either the top or bottom panel if using the Gnome desktop.? Nomally, (in Mint Mate) one can right click on a program menu item & it will allow one to add to panel or desktop. At presnt if I right click on something, it just opens.
Rgds.

OMG; that link is a lot of reading; I get a brain fade, but will have to keep coming back to it & try a few 'refreshers'. In Mint it was very simple to add panels, top or bottom, & add things to the panel. - No reading, just intuitive. Will keep coming back to this one. Thx.

Hi,

in Mint they are mostly using Mate I assume which is somewhat different to the way things are done with Zorin because of the "Look Changer" among other things like the AWN panel, I tried to cover as much as I could in the guide and I hope you found what you were looking for.

I will mark this as solved unless you still have a problem?.
