The QwikTouchPro System Tray Icon

When QwikTouchPro (not the QwikTouchPro Editor) is running you will see an icon for it in the system tray (lower right hand corner of your desktop by the time).

Note - Windows 7 hides System Tray icons by default, if you do not see the QwikTouchPro Icon click the little up arrow in the system tray to see all hidden icons (you can also set the QwikTouchPro Icon to always show here as well).

The System Tray icon performs several functions –

·         It lets you know QwikTouchPro is running

·         You can quickly minimize or restore QwikTouchPro by double clicking on the icon

o   This is a quick way to temporarily minimize QwikTouch so you can work with your desktop or other applications that may be behind your current template.

·         You can right click the Icon to change your QwikTouchPro configuration

If you right click on the QwikTouchPro icon in the system tray you will see the following menu options –

Always On Top – If checked, QwikTouchPro will display on top of all other open applications.

This is the default behavior for QwikTouchPro but you may want to temporarily toggle this so you can interact with other windows and applications.

Show in TaskBar – This option will display all  open templates on the taskbar.  The default is disabled.

Open Template –This option allows you to browse to a template to open.  The template will be displayed using its default options as specified in the QwikTouchPro Editor.

Note – The recommend method of opening QwikTouchPro Templates is to associate the template files (*.qtt) with the QwikTouchPro.exe executable.  You can then open any template by double clicking it.

Start Server- This option starts the QwikTouchPro Server allowing you to control this display from other computers on your LAN or the Internet.

Note – This option can be enabled by default in the QwikTouchPro Properties dialog.

Stop Server – This option stops the QwikTouchPro Server.

Properties – Opens the QwikTouchPro Properties dialog (see this Post)

About – Displays information about your QwikTouchPro installation.

Exit – Closes all open templates and exits QwikTouchPro.
