Elements of the main panel interface of Intellect software are described below.

1.   Information window. The information window is used for prompts on program operation and error messages. If Intellect operates in the demo mode, then there will be the corresponding message in this box.
   
2.   Screens button. Chooses and displays screens and some other windows on the desktop. The Close all command hides all visible program windows.
   The list may appear it two different ways depending on the number of the displays: if there are more than 50 of them, the list changes giving the ability to scroll itself by mouse wheel. Use the max_disp_menu_items registry key to change the threshold value (see Registry keys reference guide). On the figures below, see the list of screens with max_disp_menu_items = 10 and the number of screens 10 and 11 correspondingly.
   

   
   

   
   

   There are 10 displays in the list, so mouse scroll is not available	There are 11 displays in the list, so mouse scroll will be available if the list size exceeds the size of the computer monitor.

   
   
3.  Execute button. Provides access to various program control functions: startup, logging out, program settings, manual launching of macros, calling up the debug window and displaying data on the current program version.
