## Using &kmoon;

&kmoon; is a little applet that docks into the System Tray and shows an image of the current phase of the moon. Hovering the mouse cursor over the image brings up a tooltip to display more information.

&kmoon; can be added to the panel by &RMB; clicking on an empty space on the panel and choosing Add to Panel Applet Moon Phase Display. If you can't find an empty space, you can access the panel menu from an &RMB; click on any existing applet or icon.

To close &kmoon; right click on the applet handle beside the image and choose Quit.

### Settings

If you right click on the image and choose Settings... a small dialog box will appear that lets you adjust the image to suit the latitude and hemisphere you are living in.
