→Adding the Workspace Switcher to an openSUSE Desktop Panel
== Adding the Workspace Switcher to an openSUSE Desktop Panel ==
The first step in configuring workspaces to your openSUSE desktop environment involves adding the ''Workspace Switcher'' to a desktop panel. The Workspace Switcher is a small panel applet that displays how many workspaces are available and allows the user to switch between them.
To add a Workspace Switcher to a panel begin by clicking on a blank area of a desktop panel and select ''Add Item'' from the resulting menu. The ''Add to Panel'' dialog will subsequently appear. Scroll down the list of items until you find the ''Workspace Switcher'':

With the Workspace Switcher selected in the list, click the ''Add'' button to add the item to the panel and then close the dialog. There should now be a new item in the panel which by default shows four different work spaces with the currently selected workspace shaded in blue similar to the following figure:
