The Status Bar

[statusbar.bmp]

The status bar, shown at the bottom of the main Arena window, is divided into two areas. In ICS mode a third area appears. On the left side the current level is displayed. On the right side the file you saved last time is displayed.

If you switched off the tool bar, the Arena version number and the 'Available Memory' information is shown on the left side of the status bar.

In ICS mode the name of the user is displayed in the form user@server. Eventually a computer account string is shown, if you're running an engine on the ICS.

If you click on the level display with the right mouse button, the level dialog will be shown. With a click on the right mouse button you can select the level mode (fixed search depth, time per move, blitz, mate search, Infinite, tournament, nodes).

If you click on the file display, you can load a different file.

You can change the font of the status bar with Options/ Appearance/ Main Window/ Other.
