2. The Main Window

The Main Window displays a sidebar and either one or two browsers. When One Commander is opened for the first time, both browsers are visible with the theme and layout you chose from the opening dialog box. The Folder Columns are hidden to start with in the Standard Layout. You can reveal them by clicking the button, to the right of the folder path at the top of each browser:

or by dragging down the Navigation/Folder Pane Divider just underneath the folder path (keep dragging until the message "Expand more to show pane" disappears):

The browsers can be displayed in either Standard or Columns layouts. You can switch back and forth between them as often as you like using the Layout Button ( or ) at the bottom left of the Main window (in the Main Toolbar; see next section on this page). When you do this, the only thing that changes is the layout; the files, folders, and settings remain the same.

Main Toolbar

The Main Toolbar is at the bottom right of the Main Window: . The buttons are:
Settings
About program
/ Change Layout
Search
File Automator
Open a new Window

The Main Window can be opened, closed and repositioned without exiting from One Commander. See here for details.

Notification Pane

Notifications appear briefly at the bottom of the Main Window to tell you of things that have happened. You can view a list of the most recent notifications by pressing "~" or by clicking on the upward-pointing arrow in the bottom right-hand corner of the Main Window.
