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.

To \emph{close} a window, click on the ``$\times$'' in the upper left corner of the window\dash this will be the first button. Immediately to the right of this is a downward-pointing arrow that is used to \emph{minimize} the window to the bottom panel of your desktop. Once minimized the window will no longer be visible, however, its corresponding button in the bottom panel will remain, indicating the program is still running in the background. Clicking this button will \emph{restore} the window to its original position. Finally, the button to the far right of the titlebar will \gls{maximize} the window, making it fill the entire screen. Clicking this button again will return the window to its original size.

At the very bottom of the \menu{Applications} menu is the \application{Ubuntu Software Center}. This application gives you access to a library of software that you can download. The main screen in the \application{Ubuntu Software Center} is similar to your \menu{Applications} menu, for easy searching. If you know the name of the program you're looking for, just enter it in the search text field on the top right of the \application{Ubuntu Software Center} window. The \application{Ubuntu Software Center} keeps track of programs that are installed on your computer. If you're simply curious as to what is available, you can explore the software available using the categories listed on the left side of the window.
