The ToolBar is the white area at the foot of the Authors' TitleViewer screen.

Buttons

The toolbar displays a different set of buttons dependent on the current display mode (See Display Modes for more on display modes. Some are permanently on show, however:

Permanent buttons are:
  • site - when clicked, the "site" button will display a list of the folders and html files contained in this demonstration. Use this display to navigate around the e-book.
  • page - if the currently opened document has any headings information in it, a "Table of Contents" for the document is generated and displayed in the left panel automatically.

    Clicking "page" will show the headings of your currently open document. If there aren't any headings, the area will blank except for a redHorizon logo.

  • exit - quits the application
  • find - allows you to search for words and phrases on the currently opened document
  • information - about Authors TitleViewer and copyright notice

Buttons which appear in "Edit" Mode ( Hit Ctrl-E ) are :
  • editor - shows a screen which allows you to amend the screen elements. We have a more detailed explanation of the role and use of the editor here
  • web - You can browse a different offline web using this button. A dialog box will appear, just locate a file in the folder you want to start with and it will appear in the Contents Browser on the left of screen

Available in registered versions only :

"Your Logo Here"

In the registered version Authors' TitleViewer lets you specify a Windows Bitmap to use as a logo which appears on screen in the Reader and Kiosk display modes. It allows you to brand your work, or just customise it. You can leave it blank too if you prefer. In the unregistered version, the message remains on screen as a slightly annoying reminder to register!

"The Advert Hoarding"

This is a small area to the right of the screen. Windows bitmaps (*.BMP files) located in a given folder are displayed at random in this area. When clicked, Authors' TitleViewer looks for a html file of the same name in the same folder. If it finds one, it is displayed in the main window.

This allows you to inform the reader about elements in your web, and take them directly there. But it also easily enables you to include third party advertising revenues in your work.

In the unregistered version, there is a limitation which issues a warning message if the start up web you specify doesn't include our Advertisers information. This allows us to remind people that this is a redHorizon unregistered product and allows us to advertise our work.
