Icons

In this section of the GUI, you can define which icons the program should use for each of its states (NONE, OLD and NEW).

Name

Here you can specify the name that the icon will show in this state, e.g. 'No Mail', 'Only Old Mail' or 'Wow! New Mail!'. The small gadget next to the string gadget brings up a requester which specifies the codes that can be included as part of the name. These codes will be parsed by MailWatch every time it refreshes the icon:

%a ARexx alias
%n File/directory name
%s File/directory size
%% The character '%'

Action

This collection of gadgets is used to give the program a filename to execute when this state occurs.... you may want to play a sound when new mail arrives, for example, or run a filtering or archival program.

Icon

The icon that you wish to be displayed by the program to denote this state. (Only relevant for those modules that use this setting.) Some example icons are included in the MailWatch distribution, but these are just examples. Any icons can be used by the program.

X & Y

These gadgets specify the location of the AppIcon for this state (only used by appicons.mwdf ATM).
