Atomic swap process needs a quantity of parameters should be set. That's quite inconvenient to set it just in code. GUI was developed to make atomic swap process more friendly. However GUI forms has a lot of fields.
Here's an explanation for atomic swap GUI components.
First of all IP addresses of both participants should be set. For this purpose there are two blocks of fields named My inet settings and Partner inet settings. These blocks represent yours IP address(named Host) and port number(named Port) and your partner accordingly.
Port number may be random number, but be sure that it is in range from 1024 to 65535 and don't overlapping any port number from this table.
Provide your IP address and port number to your partner and ask partner to do the same for you. And fill up each field from both blocks.
Tip: If you don't know your IP address, you may visit any source displaying your IP address, e.g. ICanHazIP.
Block of fields named Minexcoin settings should contain data related to your minexcoin node. Description of each field is listed below.
Tip: Before setting up some of listed fields read the node configuration manual first to configure your node properly.
Login - RPC access credential, should be equal to "rpcuser" parameter typed in configuration file or in terminal command line on starting the node.
Password - RPC access credential, should be equal to "rpcpassword" parameter typed in configuration file or in terminal command line on starting the node.
Notification port - is a ZMQ port number to receive event message from node.
My private key - your private key (uncompressed, raw) for spending transaction to yourself.

Expire - number of confirmations needed to refunding your transaction back to you. Should be greater than Confirmations' value (Be sure that time needed to achieve this number of confirmations on your blockchain is as close to your partner's blockchain time as possible).
