9 What is an Applet? An applet is a program designed to be executed from within another application. Unlike an application, applets cannot be executed directly from the operating system. With the growing popularity of OLE (object linking and embedding), applets are becoming more prevalent. A well-designed applet can be invoked from many different applications. Web browsers, which are often equipped with Java virtual machines, can interpret applets from Web servers. Because applets are small in files size, crossplatform compatible, and highly secure (can't be used to access users' hard drives), they are ideal for small Internet applications accessible from a browser. 17 An applet being a small computer program has limited features, requires limited memory resources, and is designed to be downloaded from the Internet to run on a webpage. An applet cannot read or write data on the user's machine, and is usually portable between operating systems It is often a Java application; an application program that uses the client's web browser to provide a user interface. Java applets can perform interactive animations, immediate calculations, or other simple tasks without having to send a user request back to the server. 18 9
10 Tailoring the Desktop The desktop is like a physical desk: Stores your electronic work equipment Gives you easy access to current projects Desktop: Main screen in Windows 7 and Fedora 13 Allows you to put program icons on both screens 19 Aero Hardware Requirements Your computer's hardware and video card must meet hardware requirements to able to display Aero graphics. Check that your computer meets the minimum hardware requirements for running Aero: 1-gigahertz (GHz) 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor 1 gigabyte (GB) of random access memory (RAM) 128-megabyte (MB) graphics card Aero also requires a DirectX 9 class graphics processor that supports a Windows Display Driver Model Driver, Pixel Shader 2.0 in hardware, and 32 bits per pixel. For best results, you might also want to follow these graphics processor recommendations: 64 MB of graphics memory to support a single monitor with a resolution that is less than 1,310,720 pixels (for example, a 17 inch flat panel LCD monitor that has a resolution) 128 MB of graphics memory to support a single monitor with a resolution from 1,310,720 to 2,304,000 pixels (for example, a 21.1 inch flat panel LCD monitor that has up to a resolution) 256 MB of graphics memory to support a single monitor with a resolution greater than 2,304,000 pixels (for example, a 30 inch wide-screen flat panel LCD monitor that has up to a resolution) 20 10
11 Using the New Windows 7 Desktop Features Jump list: Allows you to go directly to documents, pictures, songs, and Web sites used daily To open, right-click program icon on the Windows 7 taskbar Can also provide quick access to commands Jump Lists are lists of recently opened items, such as files, folders, or websites, organized by the program that you use to open them. You can use a Jump List to open items, and you can also pin favorites to a Jump List, so you can quickly get to the items that you use every day. 21 To view the Jump List for a program Click Start, point to a pinned program or to a recently used program near the top of the Start menu, and then point to or click the arrow next to the program. To open an item Click Start, point to a pinned program or to a recently used program near the top of the Start menu to open the program's Jump List, and then click the item. To pin an item to a Jump List Click Start, and then open the program's Jump List. Point to the item, click the pushpin icon, and then click Pin to this list. To unpin an item Click Start, and then open the Jump List for the program. Point to the item, click the pushpin icon, and then click Unpin from this list
12 Using the New Windows 7 Desktop Features Snap: Resizes open windows Makes it easy to read, organize, and compare windows Snap is a quick (and fun) new way to resize open windows, simply by dragging them to the edges of your screen. 23 Using the New Windows 7 Desktop Features Peek lets you take a quick look at all the windows you have open without clicking away from the window you're currently working on. Just point to a program button on the taskbar and then point the mouse pointer to the row of thumbnails, previewing the contents of each open window. When you see the window you want, just click its thumbnail
13 Using the New Windows 7 Desktop Features Shake lets you cut through a cluttered desktop and quickly focus on a single window You can use Shake to quickly minimize every open window except the one you're shaking. It's easy and fun to grab the title bar of a window with your fingertip, give it a quick shake, and watch everything else disappear to reveal your desktop. This feature can save you time if you want to focus on a single window without minimizing all of your other open windows one by one. You can then restore all of those windows by shaking the open window again. 25 Using the New Windows 7 Desktop Features Flip 3D displays open windows in a stack To switch windows using Flip 3D 1.Press Ctrl+Windows logo key +Tab. 2.Press Tab to move through the windows. (You can also press Right Arrow or Down Arrow to move forward one window, or press Left Arrow or Up Arrow to move backward one window.) 3.Click a window in the stack to display that window, or click outside the stack to close Flip 3D without switching windows. You can also rotate the wheel on your mouse to quickly move through the open windows
