0035 <title>The Menu and Toolbar Items</title>
0036 
0037 <para>&stage; presents different types of interfaces for you to interact
0038 with the program. Perhaps the most familiar type of interface is the
0039 menu which appears on the top of the &stage; window.</para>
0040 
0041 <para>Clicking on the menu items gives you a list of commands from which you
0042 can choose the one you want. Many of the commands can also be accessed
0043 directly by holding down &Ctrl; or &Alt; and pressing another key on
0044 your keyboard. In the next section, each of the menu commands is
0045 described in brief.</para>

0048 <title>The Toolbars</title>
0049 
0050 <sect2 id="manipulating-toolbars">
0051 <title>Manipulating the Toolbars</title>
0052 
0053 <para>In addition to the menus, &stage; also has a toolbar. The 
0054 toolbar consists of a collection of icons. A toolbar icon often presents
0055 a convenient shortcut to a command that is found in one of the menus.</para>
0056 
0057 <para>You can move the unlocked toolbar around by dragging the handle at the left. The unlocked toolbar can
0058 be <quote>docked</quote> or attached to any side of the &stage;
0059 window. If you like, you can also have the toolbar <quote>float</quote> in
0060 its own window, separated from the main &stage; window.</para>
0061 
0062 <para> If you don't like dragging toolbars around,
0063 <mousebutton>right</mousebutton> click on the handle and a menu pops up.
0064 </para>
0065 
0066 <para>
0067 Choosing the item <guisubmenu>Text Position</guisubmenu> leads
0068 to an additional menu which lets you control the appearance of the items
0069 in toolbar. This additional cascading menu is shown in the screenshot
0070 below:
0071 </para>
0072 
0073 <screenshot>
0074 <screeninfo>Text Position</screeninfo>
0075 <mediaobject>
0076 <imageobject>

0079 <textobject>
0080 <phrase>Text Position</phrase>
0081 </textobject>
0082 </mediaobject>
0083 </screenshot>
0084 
0085 <para>
0086 You can choose to display the toolbar items as text instead of icons, or
0087 even to combine both icons and text. If you want both text and icons,
0088 the cascading menu allows you to select whether the text appears beside
0089 the icons or below them.
0090 </para>
0091 
0092 <para>
0093 In icons only view, if you
0094 don't know what a particular icon means, you can hold the mouse over the
0095 icon, and after a second or so, a little hint pops up in a highlighted
0096 text box.
0097 </para>
0098 
0099 <para>
0100 The <guilabel>Orientation</guilabel> item in the popup menu has to do with 
0101 the placement of the toolbar. You can choose any of the four sides of the &stage;
0102 window.
0103 </para>
