up

The Syndie GUI has a number of common graphical elements:

There are also a number of common keyboard shortcuts available at all times:

Control panel button

Simply put, hitting this button at any time will bring up the Control panel. In addition, the image shown on the button is the avatar for the current Syndie instance's primary identity.


Top command button

This row of five buttons allows universal access to Syndie's primary features.


Minimize button

This button simply offers a nice and big target to hit to make Syndie go off into the background.


Favorites button

The favorites button serves two purposes. First, hitting it toggles the display of the Forum selection panel. Second, it serves as a huge drag and drop target where you can drag forums and messages that you want to add to your watched list.


Panel body

Each panel does the bulk of its work in the center of Syndie's screen - in the body
