Getting Started
After DarkMX is up and running, a new list of networks will automatically be gathered, which takes less than a minute. Networks are hosted by other users, and allow you to share files and search other people's files. Once you have some networks to connect to, you can go to the Chat tab to gather some new chat rooms, or the Search tab to see what other people are sharing.
It is important to try right-clicking things around the program. In Android, a long-touch is the same as a right-click. This is important in any list or tree view, but even regular buttons may have extra functions. For example, right-clicking many of the buttons in a Search view will show a popup menu with several extra options. The buttons at the top of a Browse window have many functions that are accessible by right-clicking.

Please keep in mind that this software is very new and somewhat experimental. New features will be introduced as time goes on, and there are many improvements that will be made in future releases. Please check the
