User Interface
This section visually displays all the user interface components of the DC++ application. Note: This section is currently incomplete. Descriptions of each section are yet to be added.
1. Windows
Here are all the main windows available in DC++. The toolbar images contain hyperlinks to the relevant screenshots on this page.
Initial Screen
This is the window shown when first opening DC++. It is divided into two sections. The top section is the container for the various windows that will open. http://www.b.ali.btinternet.co.uk/DCPlusPlus/userInterface.html 05/06/2007 12:57:31 PM

The bottom section is called the transfers section. It will list all current downloads and uploads as well as those transfers currently attempting to make a connection. Top
This shows the Public Hub List window. It displays a list of publicly available DC hubs and information about each hub. The hublist can be filtered by entering a search term such as "Linux" into the Filter box and pressing Enter. The dropdown list can be used to switch between different lists and the Configure button used to modify the entries in the dropdown. The Refresh button will retrieve the most recent version of the currently displayed list. Top

This window shows a user's file list. Files can be queued for download from here. The Find and Next buttons allow you to search through the file list. The Match Queue button allows you to instantly match the file list contents against you download queue.

Hashing Progress
This window shows the current progress of file hashing. Note that while this window is displayed, the hashing is given a higher priority and will therefore complete more quickly. Conversely, when this window is not displayed (and

hashing occurs in the background) the rest of the user interface is given higher priority. The hashing will therefore take longer then. Top
About
This screenshot shows the About box. In addition to displaying version information, it provides information about the current level of uploads and downloads that have been carried out. It will also tell you what is the most recently available public release. Top
