<title>The Menu and Toolbar Items</title>

<para>
&kpresenter; presents different types of interfaces for you to interact
with the program. Perhaps the most familiar type of interface is the
menu which appears on the top of the &kpresenter; window.
</para>

<para>
Clicking on the menu items gives you a list of commands from which you
can choose the one you want. Many of the commands can also be accessed
directly by holding down &Ctrl; or &Alt; and pressing another key on
your keyboard.  In the next section, each of the menu commands is
described in brief.
</para>

<para>
In addition to the menus, &kpresenter; also has a set of toolbars.  Each
toolbar consists of a collection of icons. A toolbar icon often presents
a convenient shortcut to a command that is found in one of the menus.
</para>

<para>
Each toolbar has a thin stippled area, which acts as a handle for that
toolbar. The stippled area is shown highlighted in red in the screenshot
below:

<imagedata fileref="barstyle1.png" format="PNG"/></imageobject>
<textobject><phrase>The toolbars</phrase></textobject>
</mediaobject>
</screenshot>

<para>
Clicking on the toolbar handle results in that toolbar being
<quote>flattened</quote> so that you have some extra space for viewing
the main editing window:

<textobject><phrase>Flattened toolbar</phrase></textobject>
</mediaobject>
</screenshot>

<para>
Clicking on the toolbar handle a second time brings the toolbar
back. You can also move the toolbar around by dragging the
handle. Toolbars can be <quote>docked</quote> or attached to any side of
the &kpresenter; window. If you like, you can also have the toolbar
<quote>float</quote> in its own window, separated from the main
&kpresenter; window as shown in the screenshot below:
</para>

<mediaobject>
<imageobject>
<imagedata fileref="barstyle3.png" format="PNG"/></imageobject>
<textobject><phrase>Floating toolbar</phrase></textobject>
</mediaobject>
</screenshot>

<para>
If you don't like dragging toolbars around,
<mousebutton>right</mousebutton> click on the handle and a menu pops up
as shown in the screenshot below:
</para>

<screenshot>
<screeninfo>Toolbar context menu</screeninfo>
<mediaobject>
<imageobject>
<imagedata fileref="barstyle4.png" format="PNG"/></imageobject>
<textobject><phrase>Toolbar context menu</phrase></textobject>
</mediaobject>
</screenshot>

<para>
The first few items in the pop-up menu have to do with the placement of
the toolbar. You can choose any of the four sides of the &kpresenter;
window, or have the toolbar <quote>float</quote> in a separate
window. Choosing <guimenuitem>Flat</guimenuitem> hides the toolbar. (If
you <mousebutton>right</mousebutton> click on the handle of a hidden
toolbar, this item appears as <guimenuitem>Unflat</guimenuitem>
instead.)
</para>

<para>
Choosing the last item in the menu, <guisubmenu>Mode</guisubmenu>, leads
to an additional menu which lets you control the appearance of the items
in toolbar.  This additional cascading menu is shown in the screenshot
below:
</para>

<imageobject>
<imagedata fileref="barstyle5.png" format="PNG"/></imageobject>
<textobject><phrase>The toolbar modes menu</phrase></textobject>
</mediaobject>
</screenshot>

<para>
The default view of the toolbar is icons only. In this view, if you
don't know what a particular icon means, you can hold the mouse over the
icon, and after a second or so, a little hint pops up in a highlighted
text box as shown in the screenshot below:
</para>

<mediaobject>
<imageobject>
<imagedata fileref="barstyle6.png" format="PNG"/></imageobject>
<textobject><phrase>Tooltips</phrase></textobject>
</mediaobject>
</screenshot>

<para>
You can choose to display the toolbar items as text instead of icons, or
even to combine both icons and text. If you want both text and icons,
the cascading menu allows you to select whether the text appears beside
the icons or below them. All four styles of displaying toolbar items are
shown in the screenshot below:

<para>The <guilabel>Color Selector</guilabel> dialog has a series of
useful tools.</para>

<para>On the left is a box with various colors in it. Clicking on the
 color you want selects it and makes it appear in the square box in
 the lower center of this dialog box.</para>

<para>To the right of the colored box is a vertical greyscale slider
 tool. You can make the color you have chosen darker or lighter by
 sliding the small triangle to the right or clicking in the slider box
 itself.</para>

<para>Underneath the color choice box on the left are values for H, S
 &amp; V (Hue, Saturation and Value) and R, G &amp; B (Red Green and
 Blue). Color values can be typed into the boxes if you want to match
 a known color used in a drawing or picture.</para>

<para>On the top right is a drop down box. The default display is
 <guilabel>Recent Colors</guilabel>. Click the colored square you want
 in the display to choose it. <guilabel>Custom Colors</guilabel>
 allows you to maintain a separate group of colors you prefer to
 use. Once you have found a color you like, add it to this group with
 the <guibutton>Add to Custom Colors</guibutton> button underneath
 this dialog box. There is no tool provided to remove colors from
 this.<!-- Neil, can't you just right click and choose to delete them?
 --></para>

<para><guilabel>40 Colors</guilabel> and <guilabel>Web
 Colors</guilabel> might be used if you wanted to make a web page with
 a small number of colors to keep the file size small for faster
 downloads. The <guilabel>Royal</guilabel> group gives colors from
 brown to purple via yellow and blue. <guilabel>Named
 Colors</guilabel> are a nice spread of colors with names.</para>

<para>At the bottom of the right side we have a color picker. It is
 the pipette icon from art programs. If you have a picture displayed
 on your screen, you can choose a color you like from the
 picture. Click the tool, then click on the picture to select a color
 you like. Underneath is the name of the color (if it has one) and the
 <acronym>HTML</acronym> value (starting with <literal>#</literal>) of
 the color. If you want the text in a web page to match a color you
 have chosen, you can put this value in your html code.</para>

<para>Once you have a color you like, click <guibutton>Ok</guibutton>

<para>The top seven menu entries control what toolbars are
displayed. Clicking on the tick on the left removes it (or restores
it). It's useful if you want a little more working area and do not
intend to use one of the toolbars.</para>

<para>If you try to assign a shortcut that is already used, it will
give you a warning message. Highlight what you want to do (in the
picture, I have chosen to make a keyboard shortcut to <guilabel>About
KDE</guilabel>).</para>

<para>Click the radio button to the Custom Key setting and type the
key you want to use. I assigned <keycap>Control</keycap> key and
<keycap>Y</keycap> to bring up the <quote>About KDE</quote> dialog
box.</para>

<para>The button shows what has been assigned. Click
<guibutton>OK</guibutton> to make the changes, click

default, click <guibutton>Cancel</guibutton> to do nothing and leave
the dialog.</para>

<para>At the top is a Drop Down box to enable you to choose which
toolbar you want to modify. In the picture Koffice Shell is
selected. If I want to add the <guiicon>About KDE</guiicon> icon to
that toolbar, I click the entry in the left window. The arrow pointing
right becomes available, if I click the arrow the <guiicon>About
KDE</guiicon> entry is added to the selected toolbar. the left arrow
is available when you click in the right side window. It allows you to
remove an icon from a toolbar.  The up and down arrows become active
when items on both sides are selected. You can move the highlight in
the right side window up and down with the keyboard arrow keys or by
clicking on the arrows with the mouse.  The Configure Kpresenter menu
entry gives two menu boxes.</para>

<para>The <guiicon>Interface</guiicon> icon on the left allows us to
adjust the time settings on the autosave feature. The bottom two
sliders allow the Raster settings to be adjusted. This still needs a
little more work. They control the minimum size of objects (such as
boxes) drawn on screen. You may find that you can not make a box
smaller than a certain size. </para>

<para>The second icon is labelled Color </para>

<para>It changes the background color of the text box as you type text
in (in the picture, I have made it green. There is a color choice
dialog box). The Text boxes are white by default. If you had a dark
background color and you wanted to put some white text over it, you
could color the text box so that you could see what you were
typing. When you have finished, the area around the text would revert
to whatever the background color was. The
<guibutton>Default</guibutton> button restores the original
settings. </para>
