View Menu

Commands from the View menu allow you to control the appearance and view the performance of RealPlayer. Not all options are available at all times. Options are only available if they can affect the currently loaded clip.

For example, if you are not playing a multi-clip, the Playlist bar will not be available.

When Views are activated, a check mark appears next to the option. To de-activate an option, select it again and the check mark will disappear.
