Taskbar
The "Taskbar" contains labeled softkeys and minimized views (thumbnails) of active
graphics and dialogs.
Initially, it shows the permanently assigned softkeys. The softkey with the sine wave
denotes that no signal is activated for graphical representation.

Whenever you open a settings or graphics dialog, it is automatically assigned to the
"Taskbar". The softkeys shown in the following figure represent the variants.
