A tour of the Raspbian desktop
There are several parts that make up the Raspbian desktop. These are the desktop,
bottom panel, main menu, and panel items.
The desktop
The desktop is the main part of the screen that you see when you aren't running
any programs. By default, the background image is the Raspberry Pi logo, but
you will be able to change this to anything you want.
The desktop also contains all the desktop icons. The icons can be selected
and dragged around the desktop. These icons start various programs when
double-clicked and the icons can be moved around.
