<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>
<sect1 id="toolbars">
<title>The Toolbars</title>
<sect2 id="manipulating-toolbars">
<title>Manipulating the Toolbars</title>
<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>
<!-- FIXME: Update this screenshot -->
<screenshot>
<screeninfo>The toolbars</screeninfo>
<mediaobject>
<imageobject>
<imagedata fileref="barstyle1.png" format="PNG"/></imageobject>
<textobject><phrase>The toolbars</phrase></textobject>
</mediaobject>
</screenshot>
<para>You can 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>
<screenshot>
<screeninfo>Floating toolbar</screeninfo>
<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 popup 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>
<screenshot>
<screeninfo>The toolbar modes menu</screeninfo>
<mediaobject>
<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>
<screenshot>
<screeninfo>Tooltips</screeninfo>
<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 &kpresenter; menus are discussed in the following sections.

<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 grayscale 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
& V (Hue, Saturation and Value) and R, G & 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 combo 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.</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 filesize 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>
to change its color on the page or <guibutton>Cancel</guibutton> to
return without making changes.</para>
