The Main Window

This is the window that appears when the application is started.
It is the "control center" of Matrex.
It is divided in 3 parts:

The top menu, which is used for everything that is not related to a specific local machine, a specific remote machine or a specific project.
The machine tolbox on the top, initially showing the tab local, for the local machine which contains all the projects running on the local PC.
Remote machines tabs can be added connecting to Matrex servers.
Each tab shows the open projects in the tab's machine with their matrices, functions, presentation, charts and timers.
The system message list on the bottom, which contains the information and error messages reported by the system.

Being a "control center", this window is not supposed to use the whole screen, therefore maximizing it the window keeps its original width, maximizes its height and is pushed on one side of the screen.

What to do?

Once the window is open, what you can do with it?
You can:

start immediately to create or open a local project
if there is a Matrex Server available, connect to it and open projects there.

Keys instead of menus

For the most common actions (new, edit, info, remove...) a key or combination of keys can be used instead of the menu, normally a letter or number key together with the Ctrl key.
When this is possible, the combination is written in the menu choice.
