How To Use Ground Control

Ground Control is designed to be effortlessly accessed by one of three ways; either a user-defined hotkey, a hot corner or by clicking on a Ground Control "nub" in the lower-right corner.

Like Yahoo! Widgets, the user should be able to choose in a quick-popup prefs setting (either up on top utility icon menu or via the GC nub in lower-left corner) whether they want the panel to be Floating, Topmost, Below or part of Desktop. The user should be able to decide if they want it minimized in the nub, collapsed modules (see images below) or full-blown GC with all modules firing on all cylinders.

Ground Control in Nub mode
Clicking on the nub would slide out the default full suite of Ground Control Modules. Right-clicking would allow you to choose from different sets of Modules as well as access viewing preferences.

Ground Control in minimized mode
This would be for those that want a more minimal look and when there is limited screen real estate on smaller monitors

Ground Control firing on all cylinders
Right clicking on module would give the option to collapse to a minimized state for just that module.
