I like to stick this in the center of my panel, at the top of my screen, since I use a dock at the bottom of my screen to replace the window list from the panel that I remove. It can be customized to suit methods of measurement you prefer, how many days information you want etc. Upon clicking the folder, a list of all your major destinations and devices is listed, for quick and easy access to the specified location via file manager. What I prefer to do is place it beside my applications menu. Places Center adds a single small folder icon to your panel. The ones I use (not included by default) are: AppletsĪpplets are items that are added to your panel(s), such as showing the Weather, custom menus, etc. I, prefer this over the default personally.
