Description
The status bar allows to easily view general useful information about the current aMule session.
It is usually placed at the top of the main window:
http://www.amule.org/dev-up/window_toolbar1.jpg
But it can be on the left side of the main window (this can be changed through Preferences):
http://www.amule.org/dev-up/window_toolbar2.jpg
Usage
Following is a description about all the buttons available in the toolbar.
Connection/Disconnection button
This button connects and disconnects aMule to/from the allowed and available networks. It is the first button in the toolbar.
When aMule is connected to no network at all, it looks like this:
http://www.amule.org/dev-up/window_toolbar9.jpg
In such state, when the Connect button is clicked, aMule will attempt to connect to all allowed networks (allowed networks are those allowed in Preferences -> Connections). If not network is allowed, it defaults to the ed2k network.
Once it is attempting to connect to the network(s), the button will change to a Cancel button:
http://www.amule.org/dev-up/window_toolbar10.jpg
When in this state, if the button is clicked, the connection attempt will be canceled and aMule will be back disconnected from all networks.
Once aMule connects to any of the networks the button will become a Disconnect button:

Now, when it is clicked, it will disconnect aMule from all networks.
