     224Simple View:
     225 * File
     226  * Close window
     227  * Exit BOINC Manager...
     228 * View
     229  * Advanced View...
     230  * ---separator---
     231  * Skin -> (Selection)
     232 * Tools

     243
     244'''Notes:'''
     245 * Split the current ''Options'' dialog into ''Computing options'' (current ''General'' tab) and ''Connection options'' (other tabs)
     246  * Though it is tempting to merge the current ''Options'' dialog into the ''Computing & network preference'' dialog, that is not a good idea because:
     247   * the ''Computing options'' and ''Connection options'' need to be available in both Advanced and Simple views, and
     248   * the ''Computing & network preferences'' dialog modifies the global_preferences_override.xml file, while the items in the ''Computing options'' and ''Connection options'' dialogs are written to the registry or sent to the client via RPC. 
     249 * I have tried to put the most commonly used items nearest the top of each menu (except Exit should be at the end of the File menu)
     250 * ''Synchronize with AM-Name...'' and ''Stop using AM-Name...'' appear only if using Account Manager
     251 * ''Add project...'' and ''Use account manager...'' appear only if '''not''' using Account Manager
