When the calender is expanded there is a button labeled \button{Locations}, which will open a small world map when clicked. Here you can further set up your location preferences by clicking \button{Edit}. In the window that appears, click \button{Add}, then enter your location in the text field. If you live in a major city it may be on the list already; if not, you can enter your latitude and longitude manually (try searching online if you don't have this information). Make sure your time zone is selected, then click \button{OK} to return to the preferences screen.

Feel free to explore the other options available under the \button{General} and \button{Weather} tabs if you like, then click \button{Close} at the bottom when you are done. If weather information is available for your city, you will now see the current temperature displayed alongside the date and time in the notification area.

\marginnote{The \acronym{GNOME} desktop environment used in Ubuntu can provide two or more ``virtual desktops,'' or \textbf{workspaces}. Using these workspaces can reduce clutter by opening windows on separate desktops, without needing a separate monitor. For example, in order to organize your activities you may have your email open in one workspace and a text document you are working on in another. To switch workspaces, simply click on the boxes in the \textbf{workspace switcher} or use the keyboard shortcut \keystroke{Ctrl+Alt+Left arrow} or \keystroke{Ctrl+Alt+Right arrow} to switch workspaces quickly.}

Ubuntu uses most of the bottom panel to display a list of all programs or windows that are currently open. These appear as horizontal buttons which can be clicked to \emph{minimize} or \emph{restore} the corresponding windows (see \seclink{sec:managing-windows} below for more information).

On the far left of the bottom panel is a small icon that resembles a desktop. This \emph{Show Desktop} button will \gls{minimize} all open windows at once, giving you clear access to your desktop. This is particularly useful when you have many windows open at once and your desktop becomes cluttered. Clicking the button again will restore the windows to their original position.

On the right side of the panel you will see some small boxes in a row; this is the \emph{Workspace Switcher}. By default, Ubuntu 10.04 is set up with two workspaces.

Finally, the icon farthest to the right is the \emph{trash}, which performs a similar function to the Recycle Bin in Windows or the Trash in Mac \acronym{OS~X}. Any files you delete are first sent to the trash. To see the contents of the trash, click on this icon. You can empty it by clicking on the \button{Empty Trash} button in the window that appears, or alternatively by right-clicking the trash icon in the bottom panel and selecting \menu{Empty Trash} from the menu. This will permanently delete any files or folders that it contains.

In between the top and bottom panels is an image that covers the entire desktop. This is the desktop background (often referred to as your ``wallpaper''), and the one you see in front of you belongs to the default Ubuntu 10.04 theme known as \emph{Ambiance.} To learn more about customizing your desktop including changing your background, see the section on \seclink{sec:customizing-desktop} below.

When you open a program in Ubuntu (such as a web browser or a text editor\dash see \chaplink{ch:default-applications} for more information on using programs), a \emph{window} will appear on your desktop. If you have used another operating system before, such as Microsoft Windows or Mac \acronym{OS~X}, you are probably familiar with the concept of a ``window''\dash the box that appears on your screen when you start a program. In Ubuntu, the top part of a window (the \emph{titlebar}) will have the title of the window in the center, and three buttons in the top left corner. From left to right, these buttons \emph{close}, \emph{minimize}, and \emph{maximize} the window. Additionally, you can right-click anywhere on the titlebar for a list of other window management options.
