The Skype user interface, or main window, shown in Figure 4-4, is organized around three main tabs:
The top of the Skype main window also includes a series of action buttons; an events area, where you can see missed calls and received voicemails; and a services section, where you can get information about your Skype account. The bottom of the Skype main window contains a text box for entering Skype Names or phone numbers. The Skype application works in a standard way across a variety of functions. Typically, you select one or more Skype Names and then do something (call, send an IM, start a conference call, or transfer a file). |
