disorder. But when the smoke cleared away, the System Tray had left the Panel and was residing in solitary splendor on the Desktop (NOT in the "Desktop Folder", but in the apparently nameless expanse of the screen, what used to be called the Desktop), It has so far resisted attempts to shove it back to the Panel. Please, how can I restore it to the Panel?
You can unlock the desktop and the click on the cashew on the panel's right. From there you can add a systray widget to the panel as you can do with any other widget.
Adding a new systray is the obvious way to go, seeing that, on the evidence, nobody really understands why the systray is where it is or how to get it back. I never keep widgets unlocked unless I mean to change something about them.
Or you hover the systray widget on the desktop which will show a handle if the desktop is unlocked and you can drag it to the panel. If you finished that make sure to lock the desktop again to prevent accidental rearrangements.
I don't know about locking/unlocking the Desktop. Do you mean widgets? Any attempt to drag the Systray to the Panel (which is what I have been trying for days to do) ends in frustration, because it just slips behind the Panel, and cannot be dropped on it.
If and when that is accomplished, I am reasonably sure it will be at the extreme right, and I look forward to another battle of wits to move it to its normal position.
Click on the panel's cashew and hover the item you want to move, the cursor will change to some icon with four arrows. Click with the left mouse button and drag the item to the new position. If you move it to a spot where it can be placed a grey rectangle will appear to simulate the placement. Click again the left mouse button to drop the item where the grey rectangle is shown.
Does anyone know where the background color of the Panel can be configured? And where the configuration of the Panel (specifically the colors) are stored? I have not been able to find either of these details, in either a search of Personal Settings or a Google search.
Systemsettings> Appearance> Desktop Design/theme. You can pick another one and change back to Air to get the default appearance.

Do you mean Configure Desktop/Personal Settings? There is no "System Settings" here. Withing that are: Account Details, Application Appearance, Application and System Notifications, File Associations, Locale, Personal Information, and Shortcuts and Gestures. Ah, I think I found it in Workplace Appearance and Behavior, in Window Decorations, where I have visited many times lately, and have always found that everything seemed to be in order. Do you see the difficulty when terminology is unstable and also non-intuitive, and when authoritative people use different versions? I have forsaken "Air" (which seems to be polluted), and chosen Laptop. That did fix the default Panel, but it has left the second Panel BLACK and useless. Probably the workaround would be to abandon it. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
