HGC-Skype Tabs

The HGC-Skype window is divided into several tabs, each with a specific purpose. The Start Tab, Contacts Tab and Call List Tabs are always visible, whereas the other tabs are only available when they are needed (for example, if you make a call or if someone calls you). To show a tab, simply click on the title bar. To close a tab, right-click and select “close tab”

Start Tab

The Start Tab is automatically visible each time you start HGC-Skype and shows a summary of relevant information, including the number of friends online and whether you have missed any calls.

Contacts Tab

The Contacts Tab shows other Skype users which you have added to your Contact List. The icon next to the Skype Name indicates the Online Status of these users. You can right-click any Skype Name in your Contact List to see a number of choices for communicating with, or managing this user in your Contact List. To find friends, simply select the Search... option from the Tools menu. To add a friend to your Contacts, simply right-click a Skype Name in the search result and select “add to friends”.

Call List Tab

The Call List Tab shows a list of recent communication, including a list of recent calls you have made. The Call List is a convenient place to see who you spoke with and when. You can also use the Call List as a “redial” button by selecting any previous conversation and right-clicking “Call” in order to reestablish a call.

Active Call Tab

If you try to call someone or if someone tries to call you, you will see a new Call Tab appear in HGC-Skype. If you are being called, the Call Tab will appear and you will have the option to accept the call (by pressing the accept-call button) or reject the call (by pressing the reject-call button).
