7 If you need additional mini programs in your control bar, you can add them
using the Add mini programs button as described in Procedure 2.2, “Adding
mini programs on the desktop or on the control bar” (page 16).
8 To remove program icons or mini programs from the control bar, right-
click on the object in question and select the menu entry to remove the
icon or mini program.
The icons in the system section of the control bar normally belong to ap-
plications which are executed in the background. You can therefore only
remove these icons once you have closed these applications (click on the
icon and select End).
9 Further conguration options (e.g. orientation) and further functions (e.g.
automatic masking) can be found under Advanced settings.
10 When all control bar settings meet your requirements, close the control
bar settings with the red button on the right hand side.
