satelliteuser083 Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 (edited) I like Lotus's Smart Centre in Win 2k Pro for keeping my applications tidy, and was wondering if there is anything like it out there for LE 2005. Just for those who do not know what Smart Centre looks like: It's a bar across the desktop-top, containing a series of user-defined DRAWERS, each drawer containing a series of user-defined FOLDERS, into which the user can place any number of application short-cuts or of data-file short-cuts (as is the wont of Windoz). One opens a drawer, then a folder, clicks on the app/data-file and, lo and behold, it runs/opens in an app. Very handy, and I'm sure that something similar must exist in Linux (or, at least, I hope so) Edited September 13, 2005 by satelliteuser083 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foot Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Not seen smartcentre and I don't know of any third party apps on linux that do similar, but you can make up such a bar in KDE (and presumably, GNOME) - in KDE you can just right click on the kicker and make a 'child panel' that can be configured just like a normal kicker - in GNOME there are these little drawer things you can make to save even more space, but not sure about KDE (I'm sure someone has done it!)

satelliteuser083 Posted September 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 Well, I've managed to get the bar up, as you suggested. Many thanks. Now can anyone help with your other suggestion, the drawers, which I have not yet been able to conjure up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
