I accidently moved the web browser icon ... how do I put it back, to the left of the window items?

Here's a screen:

Keep meta plus alt push and then right click over the icon.

Sorry for my bad English*

oh man ... now I have five web browser icons. I think Ctrl+Alt+ right-click dragging copies the icon.

Ctrl+Alt+left click doesn't seem to do anything. Neither does Alt+ right click.

Does Meta mean Ctrl?

Super key (Windows logo) + Alt key + Right click -> Remove From Panel /or/ Move

You should also remove that terrible window theme you have and revert back to Trisquel's default, or just find something better and more suitable .

Edit: Fixed a typo. Thanks onpon4 for pointing that out!

haha =P. I use that theme because I am teaching my grandmother how to use the computer. The theme has large minimize-to-tray, expand, and maximize buttons. It makes those buttons easier to see and easier to click on.

I also made the system font size larger (something like 1.5x or 1.8x). But I did that before my grandmother visited, just for me.

Glad you can accommodate your grandmother by designing a suitable
desktop theme; hope she likes it! LOL.

No, Alij means the Super key. Most keyboards have the Windows logo on this key.

What to press depends on your window manager. If it's Compiz (default), you hold Alt+Super while right-clicking. If it's Metacity (used if you don't have 3-D), it's just Alt while right-clicking. One of the commands in the menu you get is "move".

I just suggested the default way of doing that, which most of the users doesn't change anyway.

I wasn't responding to you. That was to muhammed asking if the "meta" key is the Ctrl key.

Somewhat related question:
How did you get the taskbar to be half the size?

In the Alt[+Super]+rightclick menu for the panel itself, there's a panel settings choice.

Hi oralfloss,

The task bar looks half the size because I made the font size larger by almost 2x. I did this in the Advanced Settings' font tab. The setting is called "Text scaling factor"
