:hi:
It is supposed to be like in Win11? Then you have to enable "Panel edit mode" and drag items from left (red) and drop to center (green).

Which desktop? If using XFCE (whiskermenu) , you can make it popup under current mouse position by invoking it with:

Code: Select all

xfce4-popup-whiskermenu -p
