Solar Live

Solar Live is a utility via which we provide (and regularly update) various internet links that may be of use and interest to Solar Fire users and to astrologers in general.

>> To open the Solar Live dialog

•Select the Solar Live menu item from the Help menu

or...

•Click on the Solar Live status bar on the Main Screen of Solar Fire

This will attempt a connection to the internet to determine whether any updates are available for the list of links, and if so download them. The Solar Live dialog is then displayed.

The list of links is organized into topic headers (with square bullets), and live links under each topic header (with round bullets).

Individual topics that have previously been visited by you are displayed with a BLUE round bullet, whereas those that have not yet been visited are displayed with a YELLOW round bullet.

•Topic headers under which you have previously visited all the available links are displayed with a BLUE square bullet.

•Topic headers under which there is at least one previously unvisited topic are displayed with a YELLOW square bullet.

>> To select a topic to view in your default web browser

1.Click on the required topic with the mouse.

Topics are underlined as you move the mouse over them, showing that they are ready to be clicked.

>> To Expand all topics to make all the links under them visible

1.Click on the + button.

>> To Collapse all topics

1.Click on the – button.

>> To set Solar Live update options

1.Click on the Options button.

•Auto check for updates on the internet – when checked, Solar Fire will automatically check for updates after each specified interval of days. On the day that it is checked, auto checking occurs about one minute after Solar Fire starts running. Note: The update check will be skipped if there is no internet connection available at the time of checking. It is recommended that you switch this option off if you don’t normally have an internet connection when you run Solar Fire.

•Auto show new updates when found – when checked, if an update is found, then the user is immediately notified and prompted whether to display the updated list of Solar Live links.
