The Status Bar
A Status Bar runs along the very bottom of the NOOKcolor display. The Status Bar looks like this:
The Status Bar
The Left Side of the Status Bar
The left side of the Status Bar presents:
• An open book icon that returns you to the book you were most recently reading.
• An icon for returning to the Pandora music player if you’re playing Pandora in the backround.
The Status Bar also sometimes displays a back-arrow icon for returning to a previous feature.
The Center of the Status Bar
The center area of the Status Bar features the Quick Nav Arrow, which you can tap to call up the Quick Nav Bar.
The Right Side of the Status Bar
The right side of the status bar presents:
• A wireless connection indicator
• A battery charge indicator
• A digital clock showing the current time
The wireless connection indicator displays a stack of concentric curves, indicating the strength of your NOOKcolor’s
connection to a local Wi-Fi network. The higher the stack of curves, the stronger the connection. In general, it’s best
to have at least 2 or 3 curves showing to have a reliable connection. If no curves are shown, the NOOKcolor is not
connected to a network.
By default, the NOOKcolor status bar displays time on a 12-hour clock. To change the time or to switch to a 24-hour
clock, set the 24-hour clock option on the Time Settings screen.
The Status Bar may also display other icons, as well:
• A mute symbol will appear on the right half of the status bar if you have muted the sound on your NOOKcolor.
(Use the Quick Settings window or the Settings controls to mute or unmute the sound, as well as to adjust the
volume of the audio on your NOOKcolor.
