System Menu and Title Bar - iSnipeIt.com Help(frame)

Title Bar

The Title bar contains information about the application. In this example the first section, "iSnipeIt 2.0" refers to the application version number. The second section, "[Onealpha]" is referring to the username of the user who is currently logged in to iSnipeIt. The third section, "(Viewing "Racing"), refers to the folder that is currently open in the Item view below. This can be very handy when you have the Item View Grid Hidden and need a quick reference to what folder is open as this is where your auctions will be added to. Try using this with the shortcut bar for quickly browsing and adding of auctions. Additionally, the title bar will display the number of snipes that are currently scheduled for the logged in user.
