The purpose of the three display modes is to allow you to protect your publications from tampering when you run them as books or kiosks, but let you edit them when you need to.

Authors' TitleViewer has 3 modes : an editing mode (allowing screen elements to be changed) and two presentation modes. These are explained below.

The three modes

Dependent on which mode you are in, you will see a different set of buttons in the toolbar (the area at the bottom of the screen).

Edit Mode - Ctrl-E

You'll find that by pressing the "Ctrl key" and the "E" key at the same time, (Ctrl-E) the full range of toolbar buttons is displayed. These buttons are explained, along with the rest of the toolbar in the ToolBar. The purpose of Edit mode is to allow you to

  • open the editor
  • open a new web
When you register, buttons appear which allow you to:

  • load and save a customisation file (files with a *.sta extension)

Reader Mode - Ctrl-R

Hit Ctrl-R. Some buttons will be hidden and in their place will appear a user defined logo, if you have one. Unaltered, TitleViewer defaults to a "Your Logo Here" decal.

  • In this mode, your screen is "locked". It is the mode we recommend when you distribute your e-texts to readers, allowing them to view but not alter your display settings.
  • Adverts will be displayed at random in the lower right
  • Your logo may be included in the toolbar


Kiosk Mode - Ctrl-D

Hit Ctrl-D.

  • Similar to "Reader" mode, but runs on the whole screen
  • !! To exit the application in this mode you must hit Ctrl-E or Ctrl-R to get to an exit button !!
  • It prevents tampering if you use it as a kiosk display.
