## Viewing status messages

VisIt informs the user of its progress as it creates a visualization. As work is completed, status messages are displayed in the bottom of the Main Window in the status bar. In addition to status messages, VisIt sometimes displays error or warning messages. These messages are displayed in the Output Window, shown in figure. To open the Output Window, click the Output Indicator in the lower, right hand corner of the Main Window. When the Output Window contains an unread message, the Output Indicator changes colors from blue to red.
