### 7.3.2. Screen appearance configuration

Basic screen components are described in section 4.2. Apart from the main window there are auxiliary windows, which may be pasted into the main window and function as its part or as separate windows displayed over the main window.

Each auxiliary window that can be pasted into the main window (except for toolbars) has a set of special buttons in its upper right corner:

is used for closing the auxiliary window.

is used for moving the window on the screen. When moving the window its frame may be wide or narrow. The width of the frame depends on the location of the window. Wide frame indicates that the window will be independent, narrow frame indicates that the window will be pasted into the main window area. Narrow frame appears only when the auxiliary window is moved to the edge of the main window where it can be pasted.

When you position the mouse pointer on the button, a hint appears with information on the auxiliary window, and when you press the mouse button the entire help page is displayed.

Pasting toolbars into the main window is done the same way as pasting auxiliary windows. The only difference is that there are no special buttons on the toolbars. However, when you position the mouse pointer next to a button or between buttons of the toolbar, the pointer takes on the shape of a grabber hand which enables dragging the toolbar into another location on the screen.

The main (standard) toolbar is displayed in the graphical editor screen upon launching the program. It contains tabs, which enable switching between parts of the toolbar.

Apart from the main toolbar, you can also place other toolbars on the screen. These toolbars are copies of the main toolbar tabs.

¨ To place additional toolbars on the screen:

1. Press Shift+F9 or click the right mouse button on the main toolbar within an area with no button.

2. Mark the toolbars which you want to place separately on the screen.

3. Click on the “Close” button.

4. Move the new toolbars into appropriate location.

You can move the main toolbar around the screen just as any other toolbar. If, however, the main toolbar is pasted at the side of the main window, the tab names are not displayed. Instead of tab names, an empty field is displayed. Pressing the right mouse button when the pointer is within that area displays a menu that enables selection of any of the tabs.

Other screen appearance settings are defined in the program settings window on the “Screen appearance” tab (see section 7.3.1).
