how to add applet?

[davidmaxwaterman]

Can someone tell me how to add an applet?

I've tried clicking on various places on the top menu bar, but the menu for the applet nearest the pointer pops up. I can't find any 'empty' space there to click on. I've tried 'alt-rightclick' while the pointer is on the menu bar but nothing at all happens.

That's for Gnome Classic only. ;-)

Could you expand on that a bit? Are you saying that users aren't supposed to add applets in Unity?

Yup. :P ... But you can add Indicators, and there are a couple of them:
