The Window menu controls how documents are viewed. All open documents are listed at the bottom of the Window menu. The active document is designated with a check mark.
Show Rulers/Hide Rulers
The Show Rulers/Hide Rulers command is a toggle that displays or hides the screen rulers, displayed along the top and left side of the current window.
The exact horizontal and vertical location of the cursor is indicated as gray lines on the rulers.
The default location for the ruler origin (0,0) is the top left corner of the document. To change the origin, click in the box at the corner where the rulers meet and drag into the document. The new origin will be set where you release the mouse button. To restore the default ruler origin, double-click in the box.
Inches are the default measurement units for the rulers. Other units can be selected in either the Mouse Coordinates palette or with the Rulers... command in the File menu (File Preferences Rulers…).
Magnification
The Magnification menu controls the enlargement or reduction of the document view. It is similar to the pop-up menu at the bottom left corner of the document window.
The Other command [Command-M] opens a dialog box that lets you choose a custom magnification factor. Select a new value from 1 to 32 by typing a number or using the arrow buttons and select either the Magnify or Reduce buttons.
The Zoom In [Command-+] and Zoom Out [Command-–] commands change the document view to the next magnification factor listed at the bottom of the menu.
Window Mode
Color it! supports three types of window modes—Normal Window, Full Screen, and No Menubar.
The default mode is Normal Windows, which displays all the standard Macintosh window elements as well as Color it!’s magnification pop-up and mask icon.
In Full Screen mode, the document fills the screen (except the menu bar) if the view is large enough. If the view of the document is not large enough, a solid color background fills the rest of the screen. The background color is chosen from the Document Border pop-up menu in the Display Preferences dialog box (Edit Preferences Display…).
The No Menubar mode is similar to the Full Screen mode except the menu bar is hidden as well. Although hidden, it will appear when the mouse button is held down as you click in the menu bar area at the top of the screen.
New View
The New View command opens another view of the active document. This permits viewing the same document at different magnifications.
Split Screen
The Split Screen command displays a hierarchical menu that allows you to view the active document in a window with a second document selected from the open document list.
When two documents are seen in a split screen view, the active document is in the left or top position, depending on whether you choose Left and Right or Top and Bottom from the menu. To return to a single document view, select the No Split Screen command.
In Split Screen mode, any paint operation performed in the right/bottom document window appears in the left/top document. This can be very useful when using Document masks, as documents in Split Screen mode are always perfectly aligned.
(See Chapter 8, The Selection Menu for more information about using masks.)
Display at Resolution
The Display at Resolution command displays the document at its true size (in a one-to-one ratio). Color It! displays documents either in 72dpi or at the document’s resolution depending on the settings in the Display Preferences dialog box (Edit Preferences Display…). High resolution documents displayed at their resolution appear to be magnified (a 300dpi document appears 4 times larger on screen, for example).
