The channel bar
If you have multiple channels or query windows open it can be difficult to keep
track of the traffic and see when hew messages arrive. Snak provides a channel
bar to give you an easy way to see in when new text arrive and to quickly switch
to that channel or query.
In this example you have two channels open. The channel bar contains a button
for each channel and their colors tell you which is the current channel and which
channel have new messages.
The channel bar is turned on and off in the channel bar preference panel. In the
example above the channel bar sits in a regular window, and will as such continue
to be visible even if you switch to another application. It can also be configured
to sit in a floating window that will then always be on top when you run Snak,
but will disappear when you switch to another application.
The channel bar can also be combined with the floating input field so that you
more easily can switch between the channel that the text in the input field will
be sent to.
