<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 -->

<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:

vertical line. Write a few words, &eg; <quote><userinput>Kpresenter

text while holding the <mousebutton>left</mousebutton> mouse button to
highlight it. It should make a gray rectangle appear behind the
text. Anything included within the rectangle will be affected by the

<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
 &amp; V (Hue, Saturation and Value) and R, G &amp; 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>

<listitem><para>Autocorrection is &kpresenter;'s ability to correct
common typing errors or expand abbreviations independently of the spell
checking function.  There are several common typing errors entered for
you by default such as replacing <userinput>teh</userinput> with
<userinput>the</userinput> and you can add as many more as you
like.</para>

<para>The ability to expand abbreviations can save you a lot of typing
time, if you often repeat text whether in the same presentation or in
multiple presentations.</para>

<para>For instance, if you work for <quote>Company with a really really
long name Inc.</quote> then you might define an autocorrection entry so
that whenever you type <userinput>myJob</userinput> or some other piece
of unique text, it will be replaced with <quote>Company with a really
really long name Inc.</quote>.</para>

<para>Autocorrection can be applied automatically as you type, or only
on demand when you choose it from the <guimenu>Text</guimenu>
menu.</para>

<para>If you try to assign a shortcut that is already used, it will

<para>Click the radio button to the Custom Key setting and type the

<keycap>Y</keycap> to bring up the <quote>About TDE</quote> dialog
box.</para>

<para>At the top is a Drop Down box to enable you to choose which
toolbar you want to modify. In the picture Koffice Shell is
selected. If I want to add the <guiicon>About TDE</guiicon> icon to
that toolbar, I click the entry in the left window. The arrow pointing
right becomes available, if I click the arrow the <guiicon>About
KDE</guiicon> entry is added to the selected toolbar. the left arrow
is available when you click in the right side window. It allows you to
remove an icon from a toolbar.  The up and down arrows become active
when items on both sides are selected. You can move the highlight in
the right side window up and down with the keyboard arrow keys or by
clicking on the arrows with the mouse.  The Configure Kpresenter menu
entry gives two menu boxes.</para>

<para>The <guiicon>Interface</guiicon> icon on the left allows us to
adjust the time settings on the autosave feature. The bottom two
sliders allow the Raster settings to be adjusted. This still needs a
little more work. They control the minimum size of objects (such as
boxes) drawn on screen. You may find that you cannot make a box
smaller than a certain size. </para>

<para>It changes the background color of the text box as you type text
in (in the picture, I have made it green. There is a color choice
dialog box). The Text boxes are white by default. If you had a dark
background color and you wanted to put some white text over it, you
could color the text box so that you could see what you were
typing. When you have finished, the area around the text would revert
to whatever the background color was. The
<guibutton>Default</guibutton> button restores the original
settings. </para>
