Main window

The main window consists of a list of pages being monitored:

WebMon's main window

The "Events guide" and "Web browser releases" sites have been updated, the "Auction" site is currently being checked for updates (41% of the page has been downloaded), there is a problem checking "Message board" and update checking has been temporarily disabled for the "PC Magazine latest issue" page.

The toolbar buttons allow you to add, modify and delete pages from the list. You can also check pages for updates on demand.

Help can be obtained by pressing the F1 key, or using the "Help" menu.
