System Tray Mode

Figure 4-6: System tray area

 

If you prefer to minimize the Full Mode view of Watcher, you

 

 

 

 

 

can still monitor your connections with the System Tray Icon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

system tray: a section of the task bar in Windows which

 

 

 

 

 

displays the clock and icons of certain programs. Sometimes

 

 

 

 

 

referred to as the notification or status area.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

System Tray Icon

 

 

 

 

 

Watcher launches in Full Mode view by default. Once the

 

 

 

 

 

program launches, an icon appears simultaneously in the

 

 

 

 

 

system tray on your desktop. This icon changes colors

 

 

 

 

 

according to the current status of your connection. By moving

 

 

 

 

 

the mouse pointer over the icon, ToolTips appear explaining

 

 

 

 

 

the current status of Watcher. Once you exit Watcher, the

 

 

 

 

 

system tray icon disappears.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ToolTip: Pop-up text box that displays information about a

 

 

 

 

 

particular application. These text boxes may be viewed when

 

 

 

 

 

the mouse pointer is placed on the particular icon.
