The indicator directive places icons, coloured shapes and words on the screen. This update to reflect internal state, so that you can have a gold square appear for important customers or other similar requirements.

condition(Test)

The actual condition we are testing for to decide what state the indicator is in.

(P1911, 10 Mar 2016) The condition "storechat" was added to allow a specialised indicator to display when store chat messages exist

refresh(NNN)

The number of seconds we are to recheck this indicator. Many conditions will also be triggered as soon as their state changes, but the refresh parameter is still used to ensure that it will always be double checked at a regular interval.

at(left,top,right,bottom)

Specifies the top left and bottom right corner of the indicator.

font(name)

Defines the font to be used if the indicator includes text

okfontrgb(%d,%d,%d)
