Basics 21
Each of the side panes controls an
important function in Starry Night, and is
explained in detail in a later section.
Menu: The menu runs across the top of the
screen, above the toolbar. Clicking on an
item in the menu expands the menu to
reveal additional options.
Themes: You can choose from a range of
themes to customize the look and feel of
the controls in Starry Night. Also known
as skins, a theme alters the appearance of
the Toolbar and side panes. To choose a
theme, select Options->Theme from the
main menu.
Button Bar (Windows only):
On Windows, the button bar provides an
additional set of controls. The button bar is
located under the menu, just above the
toolbar. It contains a set of buttons for
some of the most commonly used
functions in the program. Point the cursor
at one of the buttons, and a text tip will
pop up that describes the button’s function.
Tip: You can hide the button bar at any
time by selecting View->Hide Buttonbar
in the menu. If you prefer to hide the
button bar, you can still access all of its
controls through the other menus and
tools. You can also turn off the text tips for
the button bar by choosing Preferences
from the File menu (Windows) or the
Starry Night menu (Macintosh), choosing
General from the dropbox in the upper left
corner of the Preferences dialog box, and
unchecking the “Show button help on
scroll over” box.
