<title>Activities, dash, top bar... What are they?</title>
21
<!-- THIS SHOULD BE ALPHABETICALLY SORTED... it is. -->
25
<title>Activities overview</title>
26
<p>The <em>activities overview</em> is the screen that's displayed when you
27
click on <gui>Activities</gui> at the top left of the screen.</p>
31
<title>Alt-Tab window switcher</title>
32
<p>When you hold down the <key>Alt</key> key and then press <key>Tab</key>, a
33
<em>window switcher</em> appears. This shows the icons of the applications you
34
have currently open.</p>
39
<p>The <em>dash</em> is the list of your favorite applications that is shown
40
on the left-hand side of the activities overview. Applications that are
41
currently running are also shown here. The dash is sometimes referred to as the
46
<title>Hot corner</title>
47
<p>The <em>hot corner</em> is the corner at the top left of the screen. When
48
you move the pointer to this corner, the activities overview opens.</p>
52
<title>Notifications</title>
53
<p><em>Notifications</em> are messages that pop up at the bottom of the screen,
54
telling you that something just happened. For example, when someone chatting
55
with you sends a message, a notification will pop up to tell you. If you don't
56
want to deal with a message right now, it is hidden in your messaging tray. Move
57
your mouse to the bottom-right corner to see your messaging tray.</p>
61
<title>System settings</title>
62
<p>The <em>system settings</em> are where you can change preferences and so on,
63
similar to the Control Panel in Windows or the System Preferences in Mac OS.
64
Click your name on the top-right of the top bar and select
65
<gui>System Settings</gui> to access them.</p>
69
<title>Top bar</title>
70
<p>The <em>top bar</em> is the bar that runs along the very top of the screen.
71
The <gui>Activities</gui> link is on one end of the top bar and your username
76
<title>Workspace</title>
77
<p>You can put windows on different <em>workspaces</em>. They are a convenient
78
way of grouping and separating windows.</p>
82
<title>Workspace selector</title>
83
<p>The <em>workspace selector</em> is the list of workspaces that is shown on
84
the right-hand side of the <gui>Windows</gui> view in the activities overview.</p>
