System Tray Icon

Watcher launches in Full Mode view by default. Once the
program launches, an icon appears simultaneously in the
system tray on your desktop. This icon changes colors
according to the current status of your connection. By moving
the mouse pointer over the icon, ToolTips appear explaining
the current status of Watcher. Once you exit Watcher, the
system tray icon disappears.

ToolTip: Pop-up text box that displays information about a
particular application. These text boxes may be viewed when
the mouse pointer is placed on the particular icon.
