Skins

Screen Only

Toggles the screen-only view on and off. Keyboard shortcuts are particularly useful if you are using Cisco IP Communicator in screen-only view. See the "Using Keyboard Shortcuts" topic.

Always on top

Toggles this feature on and off. When enabled, this feature keeps the Cisco IP Communicator interface visible on your desktop, even if other applications are active. (You can still minimize the interface.) See the "Understanding Feature Functionality and Availability" topic.
