4.5 Look and Feel

Because Altos RAIDWatch Manager is a Java-based GUI program, it can accommodate the "Look

and Feel" standards of various Operating Systems (OS) At present, three different interface

appearances are supported: Windows, Unix, and Java.

Altos RAIDWatch Manager will auto-detect and configure to match the Operating System where it

is currently running.

In the event of a compatibility problem or under unknown Operating Systems or OS versions, the

program will default to Java look and feel.

Just like other GUI-based applications, Altos RAIDWatch Manager works entirely with windows,

buttons, and menus to facilitate various disk array operations. These windows follow the standard

Windows and Unix OS "Look and Feel" specifications, thus steps for manipulating elements and

windows within any Altos RAIDWatch Manager window generally conform to standard procedures.

The management sessions are best displayed in the 800x600 screen resolution.

Note

Screen captures throughout this document show the Windows look and feel.

The menu bar shown in Figure 4–8 displays the available menus.

display-related operations. Most commonly used commands such as
