Taskbar

This article shows how to configure the taskbar for the login dialog and for when the screen is locked in IGEL OS.


Menu path: User Interface > Desktop > Screenlock / Screensaver > Taskbar

You can use the following parameters to enable / disable access to tray apps when the screen is locked. The parameters for the desktop (that can be found under User Interface > Desktop > Taskbar Items) and the parameters for the lockscreen are independent from each other. You need to enable / disable the icons for both use cases separately. For more information, see Tray Applications in IGEL OS 12 and Taskbar Items in IGEL OS 12.
