Idle, Operator indicator, Scrolling indicators | Nokia Series 60

Operator indicator

In idle, the title pane contains the operator indicator. It is either a text or a graphical image.

Figure 5-58.A graphical operator indicator in the title pane.

Scrolling indicators

Arrowhead-shaped icons that indicate the scrolling status in lists are situated between softkey labels in the softkey pane. Refer to section Lists and grids for detailed description of the indicator functionality.

Application-specific indicators

Applications may need indicators specific to their own purposes. Such indicators can be placed into the navi pane, if it is available, or into some part of the main pane. However, using the main pane this way may require the use of a specific main pane layout. Notice also that the icons present in many list item layouts can be utilised as indicators.
