  27 <p>The screen is focused on the available modes that the Desktop supports.
  28 Each button will either launch an application, or open a new mode or dialog
  29 box to accomplish its task.

  31 <p>The red berry in the top left corner is the main menu.  It supports the
  32 following operations:
  33 <ul>
  34         <li>Enable / disable verbose logging</li>
  35         <li>Give a name to the currently selected device</li>
  36         <li>Perform a USB reset on the currently selected device</li>
  37         <li>Re-scan the USB bus for new devices</li>
  38         <li>Display the About dialog</li>
  39         <li>Exit</li>
  40 </ul>
  41
  42 <p>The currently selected device is chosen by the dropdown list in the lower
  43 right corner of the screen.  This determines which device will be opened
  44 for Syncing, Modem, and Database Browsing.  Backup and Migrate (Device Switch)
  45 have their own methods for selecting devices.
  46
  47 <p>If your device is not password protected, a screenshot is taken and
  48 displayed in the lower right hand corner of the screen, as shown.
