Application Toolbar

When you tap an app icon in App Launcher, the application opens. Application Toolbar is displayed on the right side of the screen:

This toolbar has essential system functions and is always there when you need it. You can move the toolbar on the right side of the screen by dragging it up or down.

The menu bar extends the toolbar with more system functions. Please note that some of the menu bar items function as a switch, which means that if you tap an item, the corresponding feature is turned on and the menu item is displayed in red. To turn it off, you have to open the menu bar again and tap the item one more time.

The menu bar contains the following:

  • Additional keys. When enabled, additional keyboard keys are displayed at the bottom of the screen.

  • Mouse mode. Tap this icon to choose one of the following mouse modes:

    • Touch mode. If you use this mode, there's no mouse pointer on the screen.

      To imitate a left-click, tap the screen with one finger.

      To imitate a right-click, tap the screen with 2 fingers.

      To display a magnifying glass (helps to see small things), tap the screen with one finger and hold for a while.

    • Dumbo mouse. If you select this mode, a virtual mouse with 2 buttons and a pointer appears on the screen.

      To move the mouse pointer, drag the mouse with one finger.

      To zoom in/out the remote screen, double-tap the bottom part of Dumbo mouse.
