% The Frame
%
%
The Frame is the black border around the screen that holds the View
icons, Activity taskbar, clipboard, wireless connections, battery level,
incoming invitations and notifications, buddies, and global information
that is used across all views.
Accessing the Frame
===================
You can access the frame from any view in 3 ways:
- By using the Frame Key on the keyboard. On XO laptops the Frame key
is the square icon on the upper right hand corner of your keyboard,
on other laptops you can use the F6 key.
- By moving the cursor to the edges or corners of your screen. (There
are several options you can configure in this area, please refer to
the My Settings section for more details.)
TODO: 3 ways? there are 2 here
Frame Elements
==============
The Frame view:
1. Zoom menu: The Zoom menu (icons matching the important keyboard
shortcuts toward the keyboard top left) appears on the upper-left
edge of the Frame. Use it to move between the four Sugar views:
Neighborhood, Group, Home, and Activity.
2. Running Activity list: The sequence of currently started Activities
appears on the top edge of the Frame in the order that they were
started. The active Activity is highlighted. (The Journal always
appears here first.) Here you can see open Activities, save, close
or switch between them, and view their source code. Sometimes an
unlabeled circle appears here which represents an additional
full-screen session started by an Activity whose icon already
appears in the top edge of the Frame or an Activity that is having
trouble completely starting. Invitations to collaborative Activity
sessions also show up on this portion of the Frame. They appear as
icons in the color of the person who sent them. Hover and you can
see who it is and join in.
3. Active buddy list: People you are currently collaborating with
appear on the right edge of the Frame.
4. Clipboard: The left edge of the Frame serves as a clipboard. You can
drag objects such as images and text to and from the clipboard, and
from and to Activities. A hover menu also lets you remove them from
the clipboard, open them in an Activity, or save (keep) them in your
Journal.
5. System status (from left to right): Switch for the two modes of the
touchpad (XO-1 only), external storage devices (e.g. thumb and hard
drives), network status, text-to-speech, speaker (volume), and
battery appear on the lower edge of the Frame.
