On the first start-up, the main window of Smb4K looks similar to the one shown below. The network neighborhood browser (Network Neighborhood) and the mounted shares view (Mounted Shares) are arranged in a tab widget. Above them the menubar and toolbar are located. Below them you find the status bar.

Smb4K comes with a toolbar that contains some of the main actions, like Configure Smb4K and Quit. It also dynamically loads the actions of the dock widget that currently has got the focus. For additional information, please have a look at the sections discussing the network neighborhood browser and mounted shares view.

The status bar gives some information about the current status of Smb4K. If the application is processing a user request (por ejemplo mounting a share), a descriptive message is displayed in the leftmost section and a progress bar is shown with a busy indicator. The two icons on the right hand side indicate if there are shares mounted (network folder icon) and the status of the authentication system (wallet or key icon).

Si los controles de paneles están organizados como pestañas, el usuario obtiene sugerencias visuales adicionales. Cada vez que un recurso compartido es montado o desmontado, la pestaña Recursos compartidos montados se resalta durante unos segundos.

The main window is highly configurable. You can hide or show all tabbed widgets (Settings → Dock Widgets). They can also be dragged around with the mouse and docked to different areas in the main window. You can even detach them from the main window. The status bar and the toolbars can be hidden/shown by toggling the menu entry Settings → Show Statusbar and the ones under Settings → Toolbars Shown, respectively.
