Miminal Intrusion

Icon
The minimal appearance of OneRing on any platform is a small Icon. It demonstrates that OneRing is installed and active, and it provides a point of contact for OneRing features. When clicked, the OneBar is launched (see below). At this point the Icon can disappear (as in Ewallet or AIM) or it can remain visible and serve as a OneBar toggle (as in IE).

When the platform supports right-click (or hold-and-drag) options on the Icon, these can duplicate the choices of the OneBar, without launching the OneBar display, thus providing instant one-click access to those functions. .

example: Icon in Win95 System Tray, Browser Toolbar, Desktop

 

OneBar
OneBar is the top level menu of OneRing. It consists of an array of buttons which either launch services or bring up deeper menus which launch services. The selection and order of the buttons can be customized by the user (or remotely by a system adminstrator).

This same buttons display service status. If the OneBar is on screen, the user can tell at a glance (ie: no mouse action required) the general status of each service.

OneBar buttons typically suport two actions. The user can open the status display to show details, or launch the service.
