# Visueel overzicht van Gnome

GNOME features a user interface designed to stay out of your way, minimize distractions, and help you get things done. When you first log in, you will see the Activities overview and the top bar.

The top bar provides access to your windows and applications, your calendar and appointments, and system properties like sound, networking, and power. In the system menu in the top bar, you can change the volume or screen brightness, edit your Wi-Fi connection details, check your battery status, log out or switch users, and turn off your computer.

# Activiteiten-overzicht

When you start GNOME, you automatically enter the Activities overview. The overview allows you to access your windows and applications. In the overview, you can also just start typing to search your applications, files, folders, and the web.

To access the overview at any time, click the Activities button in the top-left corner, or just move your mouse pointer to the top-left hot corner. You can also press the Super key on your keyboard.

To access your windows and applications, click the button at the bottom left of the screen in the window list. You can also press the Super key to see an overview with live thumbnails of all the windows on the current workspace.

Activities button and Dash

At the bottom of the overview, you will find the dash. The dash shows you your favorite and running applications. Click any icon in the dash to open that application; if the application is already running, it will have a small dot below its icon. Clicking its icon will bring up the most recently used window. You can also drag the icon onto a workspace.

Door met rechts te klikken op het pictogram verschijnt er een menu waarmee u elk venster in een draaiende toepassing kunt kiezen, of u kunt een nieuw venster openen. U kunt ook op het pictogram klikken terwijl u Ctrl indrukt om een nieuw venster te openen.

Wanneer u naar het overzicht gaat, bent u in eerste instantie in het venstersoverzicht. Hier ziet u miniaturen van alle vensters in de huidige werkruimte.

Click the grid button (which has nine dots) in the dash to display the applications overview. This shows you all the applications installed on your computer. Click any application to run it, or drag an application to the onto a workspace shown above the installed applications. You can also drag an application onto the dash to make it a favorite. Your favorite applications stay in the dash even when they’re not running, so you can access them quickly.

Click the clock on the top bar to see the current date, a month-by-month calendar, a list of your upcoming appointments and new notifications. You can also open the calendar by pressing Super V.

# System menu

Gebruikersmenu

Gebruikersmenu

Click the system menu in the top-right corner to manage your system settings and your computer. The top part of the menu shows the battery status indicator, and buttons to launch Settings and the screenshot tool. The power button allows you to suspend or power off the computer, or quickly give somebody else access to the computer without logging out completely. Sliders allow you to control the sound volume or screen brightness.

The rest of the menu consists of Quick Settings buttons which let you quickly control available services and devices like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, power settings, and background apps.

# Het scherm vergrendelen

When you lock your screen, or it locks automatically, the lock screen is displayed. In addition to protecting your desktop while you’re away from your computer, the lock screen displays the date and time. It also shows information about your battery and network status.

# Vensterlijst

Gnome heeft een andere benadering voor het wisselen van vensters dan een lijst met vensters die permanent zichtbaar is, zoals bij andere bureaubladomgevingen. Hierdoor kunt u zich concentreren op de taak waar u mee bezig bent zonder afgeleid te worden.

Vensterlijst

De vensterlijst onderaan het scherm geeft toegang tot alle geopende vensters en toepassingen en u kunt ze snel minimaliseren en herstellen.

At the right-hand side of the window list, GNOME displays the four workspaces. To switch to a different workspace, select the workspace you want to use.
