- Provides window list, systray icons, a “show desktop” button, and all MGSE’s features;
- Provides a Main Menu that has the same layout as mintMenu, and offers options to add apps to favorites, to the panel or to the desktop;
- Provides custom panel launchers;
- Provides a sound applet that lets users control and launch your music, to switch the sound from your headphones to your speakers and vice-versa.
