#The menu bar
Vista puts a stacked-windows icon in the menu bar. Click it for the quick view: every machine at a glance, without opening the library window.

Each row shows the machine's state and, while it runs, its uptime and address (or install progress).
- ▶ starts a stopped machine with its window; ⏻ asks a running one to shut down.
- Clicking a row brings a running machine's window forward, or opens the library window on a stopped one.
- Open Vista and New Machine open the library window.
- Quit quits Vista. Running machines keep running.
The quick view closes when you click anywhere else.
To remove the icon, turn off Show in menu bar in Settings.
