CHAPTER 2. FIRST STEPS 8
2.3 The Main Live Screen
Most of your work in Live happens in the main Live screen. This screen consists of a number
of views, and each view manages a specic aspect of your Live Set, which is the type of
document that you create and work on in Live. Since screen space is usually limited, the
Live views can't all be displayed at the same time.
Each one of the selector buttons at the screen borders calls up a specic view; clicking this
one, for instance, opens Live's Device Browser:
The Device Browser
Selector.
To hide one of Live's views and free up screen space, click on the triangle-shaped button
next to it. To restore the view, click the button again.
A View Show/Hide
Button.
You can run Live in Full Screen Mode by selecting the Full Screen command from the View
menu. To leave Full Screen Mode, click the button that appears in the lower right corner of
the screen. Full Screen Mode can also be toggled by pressing
F11
. (Note: On Mac OS
X, this key is assigned by default to Exposé, and will not toggle Full Screen Mode unless
Exposé has been deactivated or assigned to a different key in OS X's System Preferences.)
If one of the browser views is open, you can adjust the main window's horizontal split by
dragging.
