Green Overlay Window. Tray Icon. That's all you need to know about KeyScrambler.
Overview
You've successfully installed KeyScrambler on your computer. Congratulations! Now go ahead and type something.
- A small green Overlay Window pops up at the top center of your computer screen. As you keep typing, it displays the ongoing encryption of your typed keys. It has the KeyScrambler icon and two buttons, which let you do things with one click (See Screenshot #1).
- The KeyScrambler Icon at the bottom right of your screen, in the Tray Area, is the second thing you've noticed. The Tray Icon lets you know KeyScrambler's operating status by color: It is Green when the program is active. Yellow when inactive (This happens when the app in use is not protected by the KeyScrambler Edition you are using). Red when KeyScrambler is turned off.

The major function of the green Overlay Window is letting you see the realtime encryption of your typed keys so you know KeyScrambler is protecting your information (See Screenshot #2).
Clicking on the Arrow button lets you change the Overlay Window's default position to where you'd like it to appear on your screen.
Clicking on the Options button will bring up the Options dialog boxes. Clicking any of the six tabs -- General, Display, Update, Advanced, Anti-Profiling, and About --will open the respective dialogs.
When you stop typing, the Overlay Window fades away in 4 seconds.
