The Settings... Panel

Click on Settings... in the inspector window to access additional settings for which I just couldn't justify more panels.		
Energy;¬Energy

This slider adjusts the average energy of the individual particles.
Note that on startup and when the slider is moved, all of the particles are assigned the same average energy.  As the simulation progresses, the energy should re-distribute itself among the particles so they assume a classical Maxwell-Boltzman distribution.  Note that this slider is non-linear in order to accomodate the varying intensities of my assumed user base.

Checking;¬Checking for Mail

spooldir;¬On most NeXTstep systems, mail is spooled on /usr/spool/mail.  If you have an unusual situtation, you may wish to edit the Mail Spool Dir field on the settings panel.

By default, MailWatch checks for new mail every 30 seconds, you can adjust this up or down via the Check Mail Every slider.
Note that this value also sets the update period for the calender functions.

Colors;¬Colors

The NoMail Gray slider allows you to set the brightness of the names of users without mail.  This is a useful calibration of both your age and that of your NeXT 4000A monitor.

On color systems the color of a username that  has mail is scaled to the amount of mail.  By default the color scales from red to blue as the mail increases from nothing to 100 KiloBytes.  To change the scaling to match your lifestyle, adjust the R->B as Mail Size slider.
