4.2. Managing Panels

The following sections describe how to manage your panels.

To interact with a panel, you must click on the vacant space on the panel, rather than any of the objects it holds. You can also middle-click or right-click on one of the hide buttons to select the panel, if the panel has no vacant space. If the hide buttons are not visible on a panel, modify the properties of the panel so that the hide buttons are visible. (Next: Moving a Panel)
