&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.

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.

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.

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.)

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

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:

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 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
