Main Window Icon Eudora User Manual

QUALCOMM Incorporated
Any normal Eudora window that is open or minimized is represented by a button on the
taskbar. This includes composition messages, received messages, mailbox windows, and
any tool windows or tabbed windows that are in the normal state. Any open tool or tabbed
windows that are in the docked or floating state are not represented as buttons on the
taskbar.
If a tabbed window is represented by a button on the taskbar, the button shows the name
and icon associated with the active tool window in that tabbed window.
Click a taskbar button to make that normal window active. The window comes to the front
of the stack of all normal Eudora windows.
If you right-click a taskbar button, the standard Windows context menu display s, letting
you Restore, Minimize, Maximize, or Close that normal window.
If you right-click an exposed area of the taskbar (not on a button), the stan dard Eudora
drop-down context menu displays.
If you drag an object over a taskbar button and pause for several sec onds, Eudora acti-
vates the normal window associated with that button. For a tabbed window, Eudora acti-
vates the tabbed window with the indicated window active. You can then complete the
drag and drop operation into the normal window. For a tabbed window, you can further
pause the pointer over one of the inactive window tabs, and that window bec omes active
and you can complete the drop.
Each taskbar button displays both the window icon and the window title of the normal
window. If there is not enough room to display the entire title, Eudora truncates the title
and places an ellipsis (...) to indicate the truncation. If you pause the mouse p ointer over
such a button, Eudora displays the entire window title in a tooltip.
If you have many normal windows open or minimized, the taskbar buttons sh rink so that
all buttons are visible. When the bar becomes sufficiently crowded, the QU ALCOMM logo
is hidden to make room.
Note that, unlike with the Windows 95/98 and Windows NT 4.0 taskbars, you ca nnot move
the Eudora taskbar to another edge of the main Eudora window; it always stays at the
bottom of the window work area. You also cannot resize the taskbar as a separate item. It
resizes automatically, however, when you resize the main Eudora window.
Main Window Icon
The main window icon displays when Eudora’s main window is minimized on the W indows
95/98/NT 4.0 Taskbar. This icon provides a unique indication of when new mail has been
delivered, when outgoing messages are queued, or both.
Normal
This is the normal state of the icon. There is no new
mail and no messages are queued and waiting to be
sent.
