The Front Panel Arrangement
The Front Panel allows you to manage applications, files, and network
services easily. The Front Panel has been organized to include icons for
a web browser, text notes, and a performance meter. The subpanels
contain cascading submenus for ease of navigation. Click on an up-
arrow button to open a subpanel; click on an item in a subpanel to
run it.
The spinning globe above the Exit button indicates the system is busy.
When it is clicked on, it will prompt you for a uniform resource locator
(URL), pathname, host, email address, and so forth to open.

Locking the Display
Left clicking on the Display Lock button on the Front Panel locks the
screen. The backdrop will be blank, by default, and the Password
Prompt box will be displayed for only a short time.
To bring the password prompt back to the display, move the mouse or
press a key on the keyboard. Once the display has been locked, it can
only be unlocked by entering the correct password for the user who
locked the screen.
Note – If a user locks the display and has forgotten the password, the
root user (superuser) can enter the root password to unlock the display.
The Style Manager, discussed later, enables you to allocate programs
to run on the screen while the display is locked.

Workspace Buttons
As mentioned in Module 2, ‘‘Accessing Your System,” there are four
workspaces available when you start your first CDE session. You can
add a number of additional workspaces, each of which takes up the
whole display area of the screen.
If you click the right mouse button while the pointer is situated over
the workspace buttons area, you will be given a menu of options. One
of these options is to add a workspace. A limited menu will appear if
the pointer is positioned over the area between the workspace buttons,
instead of over the button itself.
When a new workspace is added, it will be given the name New.

Workspace Buttons
You can change the name of a workspace by either of the following
two methods:
● Choose the Workspace Buttons Menu option Rename.
or
● Double-click on the workspace name in the central area of the
Front Panel display.
Be careful not to give the workspace a name which is too long to be
fully displayed. If the name is too wide for the display, only the left-

most characters will be displayed in the Front Panel display area.
Workspaces can be deleted from the Front Panel area by using the
Workspace Buttons menu’s Delete option.
