App Menu & Task Bar: Location Options?

OMG DEEPLOW THAT WAS SO HELPFUL!! I want to do cartwheels, I am SO happy you so thoughtfully spelled-out for me how to do that! I’d had NO idea any of that was an option, nor that I could right-click those objects to edit settings—vs aimlessly navigate menu items in that loooong Settings dropdown. Yes, I am new to Linux—but so are most of the users I am working to support. :slight_smile:

Thought: I did poke around the docs to see if I could find anything on this, and I could not. Between this and the Whisker Menu stuff, and the potential to clearly identify everything on the Qubes desktop environment (eg: how most non-tech and non-CLI users will experience Qubes) for people new to Linux… it seems like the docs could use a “Navigating Qubes” or “Desktop Environment” section in the docs, to introduce all of the key widgets and how to customize things? aka, stuff that’s probably too obvious for Linux folks to think anybody else might need help with, hehe. @HackerNCoder am I correct that there is currently no such section to support non-Linux-native folks in orienting us to Linux desktop environments (and maybe also some basic Linux concepts, like what “a distro” is)?

It seems like that would also be a great place to introduce things specific to Qubes that require use of desktop widgets, like “Want to use a USB or Bluetooth device? You need to “attach” it to a Qube, first!” Heck, “Isolation 101” even seems like it could be helpful.
