Interface

Program window is divided into 2 parts. On the left there is a view area. On the right there is a file browser. Depending on the type of opened document, in the upper part of view area there are relevant menu and toolbars. Under toolbars the name of the opened file is shown.

In the bottom part of the screen there is a document switch panel (taskbar). All opened documents are displayed in this panel. Emerging menu of document switch panel allows us to close or save the selected document.

You can also switch between the opened documents with the cursor key "left" and "right".

The command "New View" located in the file browser menu, serves for creation of new empty view panel, where all following files will be opened.

Dragging the top panel can move program window.

Dragging the right bottom corner of the program window can scale the program window.

While dragging the file from any other program into the view area of Alteros that file is being opened in Alteros.

While dragging the file from any other program into Alteros file browser that file is being copied into current directory of Alteros.

All interface elements are activated with the help of skin-files. Skin's author can add into interface any new buttons, attaching to them internal program commands.

Every skin is located in its own subdirectory of skins directory.
