3.1.1 Focused State

The Focused state is a property of a single object in the application; there can be only one Focused object at any given time. Being Focused indicates that that particular object is the current object of interest and is therefore the primary focus of all relevant windows. If the Focused object is not already Visible (see section 3.1.2), it will behave as if it were Visible for as long as it remains Focused.

In addition, when a molecule is the Focused object, its SMILES representation is displayed in the application's status bar (which can be found at the bottom of the application window). If any of the molecule's atoms are selected, that selection will be indicated in the SMILES display by the coloring of relevant atoms. Selected atoms are colored using the current ``Selection Color" (the default is orange) and are also in a bolded font while all of the unselected atoms will be displayed in their usual normal black font.

For large molecules (>100 atoms in this case), no SMILES representation is displayed as it would not fit in the status bar.
