General Configuration

This section will be quite extensive and will cover the general configuration of myJabber from start to end. I hope to make this simple and intuitive so that users of all levels will have no difficulty getting the most out of myJabber.

Controls

Figure1 The Toolbar

Starting with the 3.0 version Toolbar has been made smaller and more compact than it had in previous versions. All options can be reached from the "small" or "compact" version. Let's review these one at a time.
 

Menu Options
