The Context pane

The Context pane is a panel to which you can add various applets which offer information and media on the current music. A connection to the Internet is required for the most useful use of these little applications, which will fetch lyrics, information, photos, videos, and even guitar or bass tabs, depending on which applets you choose to display.

Using the Context pane

Context pane with Current Track, Lyrics and Tabs applets

Pictured is the Context pane when no track is playing. If it is hidden, use View -> Context to display it. The pane is divided in two parts:

The applet panel itself, where you can interact with some of the applets, such as editing lyrics or changing settings.
The lower portion of the panel, where you can expand and collapse applets and manipulate them in various ways once you click the Configure Applets icon (the wrench icon).

Configuring Applets

Once you click in the lower portion of the Context pane changes slightly; each applet tab gets an icon that you can click to remove it, and there is a new green icon which allows you to add new applets. To change the applet display order, click the tabs and drag them around the bar.
