A LITTLE GOOD TO KNOW
A few quick answers.
How do I move the widgets?
Right-click the tray icon and unlock the widgets. Drag them into place, then lock them again to make them click-through.
Where do I change the appearance?
Double-click the tray icon to open Settings. Choose a widget, adjust its font, size, color, opacity, or visibility, and select Apply or Done.
Does it change my wallpaper?
No. Panes keeps your wallpaper as it is. The widgets sit above it and behind your normal applications.
What happens when a monitor is disconnected?
Widgets from a missing monitor move to the primary monitor. Positions are saved relative to each monitor.
