Look@Me is a small application that allows you to observe the
desktop of another Look@Me or Timbuktu Pro user.
** Using Look@Me **
To observe another Look@Me or Timbuktu Pro user:
1. Enter the remote user's IP address in the IP field.
2. Click Observe.
The IP address you enter is automatically saved and added to the
drop-down list. The list remembers the four most recent addresses.
* If you are logging on to a Timbuktu Pro-equipped computer, you may be
asked for a name and a password.
An observation window with the name of the remote computer (or "host")
opens. Inside this window you will see the desktop of the selected
computer.
To be observed by another Look@Me or Timbuktu Pro user:
1. Start Look@Me.
2. Click the window curtains (or select 'Allow others to see' from the
Settings menu).
The curtains will slide back, revealing a little face.
When another user decides to look at your desktop, an alert box will
pop up to tell you that you have a guest. If you don't want to allow
that user to observe your desktop, you can disconnect the observer by
clicking your alert box's Disconnect button.
To change Look@Me's observation behavior:
* Select 'Preferences' from the Settings menu. The Preferences dialog box
appears.
* You can edit your computer name (the name seen by the remote user)
in the User Name field.
* You can allow the observer to see your Wallpaper patterns by turning
on 'Display Wallpaper.' Note: If 'Display Wallpaper' is activated,
the observation speed will slow down.
* You can disable Look@Me's AutoScroll feature. When AutoScrolling is
off, you can manually use the scroll bar to shift your view of the
remote computer's desktop. Note: You can also turn AutoScrolling on
and off by selecting 'AutoScroll' from the menu available in the
upper left-hand corner of an open Observe window.
