Tip: To get the most from this manual it would probably be best to have a working version of CronosII-0.1.0 running next to whichever application you are reading this on.
Why look at my static screen-shots when you have the real thing waiting at your fingertips.
See the section called Introduction for how to install and start CronosII.
Important: To jump straight to Configuration see the section called Configuration
Main window, shown in Figure 1.
The User Interface.
From here all your mailing work and application configuration may be undertaken.
The Window Parts are Tagged with numbers. An explanation of the function of each part follows:
The Window
In this case the Window Manager is Enlightenment The default Window Manager for Gnome is Sawfish.
The window manager handles the look and placement of application windows and usually other issues including "themes" and session management.
The Top or Icon Menu Bar
Selecting these icons gives you access to the basic day to day functions you need to work with your mail or a particular message.
The Text or Second Menu Bar.
This bar consists of "buttons" that have fold-outs enabling control of functions and configuration within the application. Most of the functions and tasks are available through user configurable keyboard shortcuts. (Often Called Accelerators).
The Mailbox Window
Here you are shown a tree style representation of your mailbox directories.
The View Header Window
Here a list of mail headers are shown for the selected Mailbox. This list is scroll-able via the drag bar on the right hand side.
The View Message Window
This shows the message associated with the header selected in the above "View Header Window". This message is also scroll-able via the right hand scroll bar or by clicking on the message and using the "Up and Down" keys on your keyboard.
The Header Window Columns
Identifies the content of each column in the Header Window. To mark an Item for notice click on that header beneath the exclamation mark.
Drag Handle
Beneath the numeral "8" on the figure you will find a small handle to move the divider left or right. Best to just try it and see really.
Scroll Bar
A typical "themed" GTK scroll bar. The drag button is sized proportionately to the length of the message. (so the longer the message the smaller the button and the coarser the control you have.) If the drag resolution becomes too awkward try making your window larger (taller).
Progress Bar
This lets you know how far through a task CronosII is.
