PowerPro Features

PowerPro is complex and extremely feature-rich, so there no such thing as a "beginners" or "advanced" level. Every user tends to use certain features more than others and everything can be related.

First you will be able to set command lists. In PowerPro, command lists are used to configure bars, tray icons, menus and other features. The first command list you configure controls the default bar. this bar will be floating in the upper left of your screen. To move press Ctrl and then use left mouse to drag. Each bar button is a line in the list. Double click list item to change. Press Add After or Add Before to add new. Press Properties to change icon, colors, font, and so on.
