20 Starry Night User’s Guide
Using The Controls
All of the controls in Starry Night are in
three areas of the screen: the toolbar, the
side panes, and the menu. There is more
than one way to access many of the
features in Starry Night - for example, you
may be able to access a feature through the
main menu and through the side panes.
Tip: If some of the controls described in
this section appear to be missing from
your version of Starry Night, you may not
have installed QuickTime correctly.
Reinstall QuickTime and you should then
see all of the controls. See
“Installing Starry Night
” on page 10 for
more information.
Toolbar: The toolbar is the strip of buttons
which runs just above the main window.
The toolbar has the following controls
(each set of controls is explained in a later
section):
Time and Date
Time Flow Rate
Viewing Location
Gaze
Zoom (FOV)
In Starry Night
Enthusiast, Pro and Pro Plus, you can hide
the toolbar by choosing View->Hide
Toolbar from the main menu.
Tip (Pro and Pro Plus only): Clicking
the blue pin button on the toolbar will
display a menu with all the log entries you
have added to Starry Night. See “Adding
Log Entries” on page 162 for more
information on observing logs.
Side Panes: These panes are along the left
side of the screen. Depending on which
version you own only some panes will be
available.
Clicking on a pane causes the pane to slide
out, revealing a set of controls. Each pane
opens to a default width. However, by
clicking along the right edge of the pane
and dragging the mouse, you can make the
pane narrower or wider.
Within a pane, you can expand or collapse
various
layers by using these buttons:
Expand layer (Windows).
Expand layer (Macintosh).
Collapse layer (Windows).
Collapse layer (Macintosh).
