Chapter 2. Starting KNewsTicker

Here is a screenshot of KNewsTicker in KDE's
panel.

KNewsTicker is started like every other Kicker applet. You just have to add it to the panel (or any child panel of the main one). To do so, just right-click on the KDE panel and choose Add Applet to Panel... and News Ticker in the dialog.

Here is a screenshot of KNewsTicker in its own child
panel.

Another good way to use KNewsTicker is to put it into its own child panel. Just add a new child panel by choosing New Panel->Panel from the panel menu;. Now you can simply right-click on the child panel and select KNewsTicker as described above.

Here is a screenshot of KNewsTicker in its own
window.

A third, popular, way to run KNewsTicker is by selecting Internet->More Applications->KNewsTicker (News Ticker) from the K menu. This will start KNewsTicker and make it run in its own window which you can then resize and move around as you wish.
