|| Title slide
|| Hello and Welcome to this spoken tutorial on ''' Desktop Customization '''in '''Ubuntu Linux 16.04 operating system.'''
|-
|| Learning Objective
|| In this tutorial we will learn about the '''Launcher '''and how to:

* Remove and add '''applications''' in the '''Launcher'''
* Use multiple '''Desktops'''
* Change the theme of the '''Desktop'''
* '''Internet '''connectivity
* '''Sound '''settings
* '''Time and Date '''settings
* and switch to other '''user accounts '''

|-
|| System Requirements
|| To record this tutorial, I am using '''Ubuntu Linux 16.04 OS.'''
|-
|| About Launcher
|| Let's begin with the''' Launcher.'''
|-
|| Slide Number

'''Launcher'''
|| '''Launcher''' * is the default left-side''' panel''' in''' '''the '''Ubuntu''' '''Linux Desktop, '''
* which has some default '''applications'''.

|-
|| New slide
|| The '''Launcher''' makes it easy to access frequently used '''applications'''.

So, we can launch a '''program''' by clicking on its '''desktop shortcut''' on the '''Launcher'''.
|-
|| Screenshot of Launcher with icons
|| By default, the '''Launcher '''has some '''applications'''.
|-
||
|| Let us''' '''learn to customize the''' Launcher''' based on our requirements.
|-
|| Slide Number
|| For my regular work, I need '''applications''' like''' Terminal, LibreOffice Writer, gedit,''' and so on'''.'''

Let's add these '''applications''' to the''' Launcher.'''
|-
|| Removing Icons from the Launcher
|| Before doing that, I will remove some of the '''applications''' which I don't want.
|-
|| Point to Amazon application

Amazon >> Right-click >> Unlock from Launcher
|| Say I wish to remove the''' Amazon application '''from the '''Launcher.'''

Click on the '''Amazon application icon''', then right-click and select '''Unlock from Launcher.'''
|-
|| Point to the Launcher
|| You can see that the''' Amazon application icon '''has been removed from the '''Launcher'''.
|-
|| Screen shot of Removed Unwanted applications from Launcher
|| In the same way, we can remove all the shortcuts which we do not use frequently.

I have removed some '''applications''' from the''' Launcher, '''as you can see here.
|-
||
|| Now, I will add the''' Terminal''' shortcut to the''' Launcher.'''
|-
|| Click on '''Dash home'''
|| Click on '''Dash home, '''at the top of the '''Launcher.'''
|-
|| Type''' Terminal''' in search bar >> click on it.
|| In the''' search bar,''' type “'''terminal'''”.

Click on the''' Terminal icon''' to open it.
|-
|| Pointing to the '''terminal''' in the '''Launcher'''
|| You can see the''' Terminal icon''' on the''' Launcher.'''
|-
|| Right click on '''terminal''' icon >> Lock to '''Launcher'''.
|| To fix the '''Terminal icon''' on the '''Launcher, '''first right-click on it.

Then select''' Lock to Launcher.'''
|-
||
|| Another way to fix '''application''' shortcuts on the '''Launcher, '''is by dragging and dropping.

I will demonstrate this now.
|-
|| Open '''Dash Home''' >> In the '''search bar '''type '''LibreOffice'''.
|| Open '''Dash Home''' and in the '''search bar, '''type '''gedit'''.
|-
|| Drag & Drop '''LibreOffice '''icon on the '''Launcher'''.
|| Drag the '''gedit icon '''onto the''' Launcher.'''

|-
|| Drop '''LibreOffice '''icon on the '''Launcher'''
|| Now, drop the '''gedit icon''' on the '''Launcher.'''

You can see the '''gedit '''shortcut is now added to the''' Launcher.'''
|-
||
|| This is how we can add shortcuts on the''' Launcher.'''
|-
|| About Multiple Desktop/Workspace switcher (Slide)
|| The next important feature in''' Ubuntu Linux OS''' is''' multiple workspace '''or '''Desktop.'''
|-
|| About Multiple Desktop/Workspace switcher (Slide)
|| Sometimes we may be working on multiple '''applications'''.

And we may find it difficult to switch from one '''application''' to another.

To make it more convenient, we can use''' Workspace Switcher.'''
|-
|| Back to the '''desktop.'''
|| Let’s come back to the '''Desktop'''.
|-
|| Click '''System Settings''' >> '''Appearance'''
|| In '''Ubuntu 16.04 '''multiple '''workspaces '''won’t appear by default.

To enable it, click on the '''System Settings'''

And then on '''Appearance'''.
|-
|| Click on '''Behavior'''
|| In the '''Appearance''' window, click on '''Behavior''' tab.
|-
|| Switch '''Auto-hide the Launcher '''to '''ON'''
|| Here, select '''Enable workspaces '''option.

This will enable the multiple '''workspaces icon '''on the '''Launcher'''.
|-
|| Close the window
|| Close this window.
|-
|| Click on the '''Launcher '''>> locate '''Workspace Switcher'''.
|| On the '''Launcher, '''locate '''Workspace Switcher icon''' and click on it.
|-
|| Point to the 4 quadrants.
|| It shows 4 quadrants with 4 '''Desktops'''.
|-
|| Point to the top-left quadrant.
|| By default, the top-left '''Desktop''' is selected.

That is the '''Desktop '''in which we are currently working.
|-
|| Click on '''Workspace Switcher''' >> select 2<sup>nd</sup> '''Desktop'''
|| Now, let’s select the second '''Desktop''' by double-clicking on it.
|-
|| Open the '''Terminal'''
|| I will open the '''terminal''' here by clicking on the '''terminal icon''' in the '''Launcher'''.
|-
|| Click on '''Workspace Switcher'''
|| Now, click on the''' Workspace Switcher '''again'''.'''
|-
|| Point to 2nd & 1st '''Desktop'''
|| You can see the '''terminal '''on the second '''Workspace '''and our '''Desktop''' on the first.

In this way, you can work on multiple''' Desktops'''.

<<PAUSE>>
|-
|| Double-click on the first '''desktop'''
|| Let’s come back to the first '''Desktop '''now.
|-
|| Point to '''Trash '''icon on '''Launcher'''.
|| '''Trash '''is another important '''icon '''on the '''Launcher.'''
|-
|| Slide Number

About Trash
|| '''Trash''' contains all the deleted files and folders.

In case we delete a''' file''' accidentally, we can restore it from '''Trash.'''
|-
|| Back to '''desktop''' >> Right click on file>> select '''Move to Trash '''option
|| To demonstrate this, I will delete '''Hello.txt''' which is on my '''Desktop.'''

Right-click on the file and click on the option''' Move to Trash.'''
|-

|| To delete a file permanently from your system, first select it and then press''' Shift+Delete '''keys'''.'''
|-
||
|| A dialog box asking, “'''Are you sure you want to permanently delete Hello.txt?'''”

Click on the '''Delete''' button.
|-
|| Click on '''Trash '''icon
|| Click on the '''Trash '''icon once again.
|-
|| In the '''Trash '''folder
|| We cannot find the file in the '''Trash '''folder, as it is permanently deleted from''' '''our system.

<<PAUSE>>
|-
|| Goto desktop area
|| Aren't you bored of seeing the same theme of the '''Desktop'''?

Let's change it.
