## DESCRIPTION

This module adds one or more panel(s) with optional plugins to the desktop.

## BEHAVIOR

Under LXQt the panel module is started automatically and by default a horizontal bottom panel is created on the desktop, containing several plugins: fancymenu, desktopswitch, quicklaunch, taskbar, statusnotifier, tray, mount, volume, worldclock, showdesktop.

The panel can be run independently of **LXQt**, autostarted at logon.

## CONFIGURATION

Position, alignment, size, autohide, transparency (requires compositor), and other attributes are configurable by right click.

The panel is comprised of plugins which provide a visual widget. They can be added, moved or removed in the panel widget settings and by right click menu on the widget itself.
