WIPs Configuration Wizard

Configuration Wizard is launched only at first run of the program. Its main job is to download GeoIP database and determine your home location. There is a possibility that your location determined by program will be different from the real one. You should then (but only if you know what you're doing) enter correct geographic coordinates yourself. Wizard accepts two input formats of latitude and longitude:

- standard one, e.g. 36°18'N or 28°12'E

and

- simplified where ° (degree symbol) is replaced with dot and ' is ignored  e.g. 36.18N or 28.12E

I suggest to go to www.mapsofworld.com (BIG geographic coordinates database) find proper location and simply use copy and paste.

Use mouse to control the program. Hold LMB and move the mouse in any direction to rotate the globe. Zoom in/out with mouse wheel or PageUp/PageDown keys. Move mouse over red dots (letter R appears on the cursor)[screenshot] and left click to perform traceroute to choosen location. Routes are shown in magenta. They do not dissapear even when connection is closed. To hide route click on any of her points.

Button panel shows up when mouse cursor is over bottom part of the program's window:                

Autorefresh. By default connections list is refreshed every two seconds. Use thisbutton to turn autorefresh on and off. While in OFF state, press F5 key to manually refresh connections list.

Implant into desktop. This will use part of desktop wallpaper as background for program's window.  I'd suggest to put WIPs in a desktop corner [screenshot]. Be sure that there are no icons or other windows behind WIPs window, as they will be clipped and used as background as well. 

Labels. Turns labels on/off.

Rotation. Turns globe rotation on/off. 

Connect locations. Displays curves connecting home and remote locations.

Full Screen. Turns full screen mode on/off. While in full screen you can also press ESC key to return to windowed mode.

Hilight Shadow. Lightens dark side of the Earth.

Only established connections. By default, WIPs displays all connections, including these in defferent stages of closing process. With this button you can display only established connections.

About/Register. With particular emphasis on Register ;-)

Exit. Terminates the program.
