<title>Getting Started</title>
<section>
<title>Launching the <app>Xfce Panel</app></title>
<p>
The panel will useally be started as part of your Xfce session
when you start the Xfce desktop enviroment by using the
<cmd>startxfce4</cmd> script or a login manager. If you want to start
the panel by hand, you can run the <cmd>xfce4-panel</cmd> command.

<p>
When the panel is started for the first time it will give you the
following three options:
</p>
<terms>
<item>
<title>Migrate old config</title>
<p>
This option will try only be available when an old 4.6 panel
configuration is found on your system. It will try to migrate
the old panel layout to the new panel configuration in
<app>Xfconf</app>.
</p>
</item>
<item>
<title>Use default layout</title>
<p>
This will import the default panel configuration with most of
the default panel plugins. If you use the <app>Xfce Panel</app>
for the first time, this will be a good base to create your own
panel configuration.
</p>
</item>
<item>
<title>One empty panel</title>
<p>
This will give you one empty panel window. Might be what you
want if you have already used <app>Xfce Panel</app> before and
you know what you want.
</p>
</item>
</terms>
<p>
Once you have choosen the configuration you want, the settings are
imported and the panel will show up, for example the default
configuration in the picture below. Read more about changing the
<link xref="preferences">configuration of the panel</link> and the
various plugins in the other sections of this manual.
