Qualcomm 4.3 user manual Main Window Icon

Main Window Icon Eudora User Manual

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 displays, 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 standard Eudora drop-down context menu displays.

If you drag an object over a taskbar button and pause for several seconds, 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 becomes 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 pointer 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 shrink so that all buttons are visible. When the bar becomes sufficiently crowded, the QUALCOMM logo is hidden to make room.

Note that, unlike with the Windows 95/98 and Windows NT 4.0 taskbars, you cannot 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 Windows 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.
