Overview of the Launcher
The Launcher is the basic framework of the Horizon interface. The Launcher lets you easily and quickly access Horizon features in a variety of ways. This section explains the basic features of the Launcher interface. (For information on doing tasks in this interface, see Basic tasks.)
The Launcher interface includes many of the same features as other Microsoft Windows-based products. Here is an example of the Launcher window, showing an active Horizon process window in the workspace:
Your Launcher may appear different, depending on how you or your system administrator has configured your Launcher environment. (For more information on configuring the Launcher, see the Launcher Configuration Guide.)
The main Launcher window includes these features:
|
•
|
Title bar. Displays the location that you are logged in to. If you have started a Horizon process, it also displays the name of the active process or window. |
|
•
|
Window Control button. Lets you minimize or maximize the main Launcher window. Horizon process windows also include this button. (You can also resize the window by clicking the mouse over an edge or corner and dragging the window until it is the size you want.) |
|
•
|
Windows buttons. Let you minimize, maximize, or close the main Launcher window. Horizon process windows also include these buttons. |
|
•
|
Menu bar. Displays the menus available for the current open process. Clicking on a menu opens a drop-down list of menu options. (For more information, see Menu Bar.) |
|
•
|
Toolbar. Includes standard Windows buttons and other buttons that let you change the Launcher workspace. Your toolbar may also include buttons that let you open a Horizon process. (For more information, see Toolbar.) |
|

Navigation bar. Displays a tree menu of folders that let you open a Horizon process. (For more information, see Navigation Bar.) |

Status bar. Displays status information, depending on the process you are using. (For example, it may display your user ID or the server and location you are logged in to.) This bar displays by default, but you can hide it by choosing Status Bar from the View menu. |

Workspace. Displays any open Horizon process windows. You can choose the position of windows in the workspace, or change the size of the workspace. (For more information, see Workspace.) |
