To show an application's menu, just move your mouse to the desktop's menu bar (at the top of the screen). While your mouse is positioned here, the active application's menu options will appear in the desktop's menu bar, allowing you to use the application's menuing options. When clicking on the desktop, the desktop's menu bar reappears. This capability in \application{Unity} to display the application's menu only when needed is especially beneficial for netbook and laptop users with limited viewable screen space. You can disable this feature via \menu{Session Indicator \then System Settings \then Appearance}. In the \tab{Behavior} tab, under Show the menus for a window, select In the window's title bar.

The vertical bar of icons on the left side of the desktop is called the Launcher. The Launcher provides easy access to applications, mounted devices, and the \menu{Trash}. All running applications on your system will place an icon in the Launcher while the application is running. To change the Launcher icon size, go to \menu{Session Indicator \then System Settings \then Appearance}, tab \tab{Look}.

The first icon at the top of the Launcher is the Dash, a component of \application{Unity}. We will explore the Dash in a later section of this chapter. By default, other applications appear in the Launcher, including the \application{Files} file manager, \application{LibreOffice}, \application{Firefox}, any mounted devices, and the \lens{Trash}, which contains deleted folders and files, at the bottom of the Launcher.

Holding the Super key, also known as the Windows key (Win key), located between the left \keystroke{Ctrl} key and \keystroke{Alt} key, will cause Ubuntu to superimpose a number onto the first ten applications in the Launcher and also display a screen full of useful shortcuts. You can launch an application with a number \textit{n} on it by typing \keystroke{Super+\textit{n}}.

If you open more applications than can be shown in the Launcher, the Launcher will ``fold'' the application icons at the bottom of the Launcher. Simply move your mouse to the bottom of the Launcher, and you'll see the Launcher icons ``slide'' and the folded application icons unfold for easy access.
