Cinnamon panel

Is there any way to add icons to the top panel in Cinnamon. When I use mate i am able to not Cinnamon. Thanks for your help

Make sure you're running the latest Cinnamon 1.4 - please install the updates (shield-like icon in the tray) if you are still using an older version.
You can right-click a program in the menu > Add to Panel. It will probably appear on the bottom panel but you should be able to drag it to the top one.

Does cinnamon work when you run cinnamon --replace from terminal?

I ran cinnamon --replace that and it gave me a bottom panel that i could not right click or move ran update from there. Rebooted then again no panels nada just desk top. Thanks again I will just use Mate and xp as they both run well was just trying to keep up with the new curves.
