A replicant is a "live view" that can be dragged out of
its application and dropped onto the desktop. Show Replicants
tells all replicants to display their draggers, the little handles
that you use to grab the replicant view. Replicants are described
in detail here... .
Recent menus
Here you can set how many of the recently opened applications,
files and folders you want Zeta to remember the location of.
Configuring the Zeta Menu
From Deskbar Preference application you can adjust the contents
of the Zeta Menu. The panel lets you modify the favorites list,
and set the "depth" of the recent documents and applications
lists.
By defalt the Deskbar is set to give you access to the 10
last used Applications, Documents and Folders.
You can set the number higher or lower. Zeta will when these options
are activated keep track of them through queries.

The favorites list.
The scrollable area on the right side of the panel displays the
favorites list. To descend into a folder (or "group"),
simply double-click the item or click the Open button. To return
to a higher level of the list, pop open the menu above the list
(the one that's initially labelled Be) and choose the level
you want to return to.
You can add a new item to any level of the favorites list by dragging
and dropping the item into the panel, or by clicking the Add...
button and browsing the file system for the item you want to add.
To remove an item, click the Remove button. To change its name,
click Edit...
to bring up the name-editing panel.
Changing the name of an item in the favorites list does not change
the name of the file or folder that the item represents. Similarly,
removing an item just erases its name from the favorites list, it
doesn't actually delete the file or folder.
To add a new group, click the New
Group icon. A group is a "virtual folder" into
which you can add other "real" folders or files. For instance
you can add a group for shortcuts to online radios, and then add
a shortcut to BeOS Radio.
Next time you want to listen to this station, you can choose it
from your favorite list and it will start your default streaming
audio application.

Fast Launch
Fast Launch lets you fast and easily access your most commonly
used applications, folders, queries and more.
You can, as most places, simply just drag and drop the files you
want have available in Fast Launch in the Zeta menu.
You can lauch the application directly from the Deskbar
preflet, rename or delete it, as the icons only
represents aliases (shortcuts) to the actual files.
