Tab Bar
Tabs are located on the top side of Polarity. Polarity may look different in appearance due to its custom window manager which allows it to be customized and give as much possible space for a web page.
From left to right: Tabs, Navigation Buttons, Page Info, Omnibar, Drop down list, Voice Recognition, Reader, Favorites, Settings.
Orange tabs are notification indicators for pinned tabs.

With Polarity, you are able to edit the color scheme for almost every aspect of it to make it truly personal. Polarity also supports the installation of preset themes. You can also select an image and make it the background for Polarity.
Manage Apps and Extensions Dialog
Here you will see a list of all your installed userscripts and userstyles at the top and installed apps on the bottom. Please note that the online apps from the store are not shown here, but in the apps bar instead at the bottom of the web browser.
How to run a userscript/userstyle: Select an installed userscript or userstyle located in the userscript container and then right click. After that, click run script.
How to stop a userscript/userstyle: To stop any userscript/userstyle from running, go to the running tab and stop all scripts.

Apps Bar
Polarity apps can be accessed at the bottom of the browser. These apps help to increase productivity by opening up in new windows that can stay in front of all your other windows. These apps are not only able to stay in front of Polarity at all times, but also other applications installed on the system. These apps do not do that by default and they must be toggled in the menu of the app window.
The apps bar is visible when you click Polarity's menu button located at the top right corner of the browser next to the favorites button. It will hide itself when you click the button again.
New apps could be added by clicking the plus button, which takes you directly to Polarity's app store.
Each app will come with a menu when you right click on them. You can either open up the app in a new tab or delete them.
