This chapter describes the procedures for moving and hiding panes, and customizing and creating new toolbars.
IP/TV Viewer allows you to change the appearance of the main and viewer windows. You can display or hide panes and toolbars, and you can create new toolbars.
As discussed in the "Getting Started" chapter, the IP/TV Viewer main window has two panes and various toolbars. Panes can be docked or floating.
A docked pane is attached to one edge of the IP/TV Viewer main window. When you drag a pane to the edge of the window, it snaps into place along the length of the window's edge. You can disable the docking feature by pressing the Ctrl key when dragging a pane (see Figure 6-1).
A floating pane is not attached to the edge of the window. You can resize a floating pane and move it anywhere on your screen (see Figure 6-2).
You can move the Content Manager pane or adjust the width of the Program Listings pane by dragging the middle gripper bar to the left or right.
When moving the Content Manager pane, turn on the Allow Docking command when you want to dock this pane and turn off the Allow Docking command when you want to float this pane.
To access the Allow Docking command, place your cursor on the Content Manager or Program Listings pane gripper bar and click the right mouse button. A popup menu appears with the commands Allow Docking and Hide.
To display the Content Managers on the IP/TV Viewer main window, click View>Content Managers. To hide this pane, uncheck this selection. Or, check the Hide command in the popup menu.
Toolbars allow you to access and organize IP/TV Viewer commands quickly and easily. You can customize built-in toolbars or create new toolbars. You can add and remove buttons, hide or display toolbars, and move toolbars. Toolbars can be docked or floating.
You can change the location of toolbars as desired. For example, in Figure 6-3 the toolbars are docked, but not in their default positions.
A floating toolbar is not attached to the edge of the window. You can resize a floating toolbar and move it anywhere on your screen (see Figure 6-4).
IP/TV Viewer comes with several built-in toolbars. You can add and remove command buttons to built-in toolbars, but you cannot delete them. You can, however, delete toolbars that you create.
Both the IP/TV Viewer main window and viewer windows have the following built-in toolbars:
To display or a hide a toolbar:
Step 1 From the IP/TV Viewer main window or viewer window, click Edit>Customize Toolbars. The Customize window dialog box appears with the Toolbars tab on top.
Step 2 To display a toolbar, click the toolbar name check box you want to display. To hide a toolbar, click the toolbar name check box to clear it. To show a toolbar's tool tips, check it.
You can move both a docked or floating toolbar within the IP/TV main or viewer windows.
To move a toolbar:
Step 1 Click the move handle on a docked toolbar, or click the title on a floating toolbar.
Step 2 Drag the toolbar to a new location. If you drag the toolbar to the edge of the IP/TV main window or viewer window, it docks to the edge of the window.
To create your own custom toolbar:
Step 1 On the Customize dialog box, select the Toolbars tab.
Step 2 Click New. The New Toolbar dialog box appears.
Step 3 Enter the name of the new toolbar in the Toolbar Name field and click OK.
The toolbar name now appears in the list on the Toolbars tab. The new toolbar also appears as a floating toolbar on the program listing or viewer window.
To delete a toolbar you created:
Step 1 On the Customize dialog box, select the Toolbars tab.
Step 2 Highlight the name of the toolbar you want to delete and click Delete.
To add buttons to a built-in toolbar or a toolbar you created, do the following:
Step 1 Make sure the toolbar is visible on the program listing or viewer window.
Step 2 On the Customizing dialog box, select the Commands tab. On the Categories pane, click a category to display the available command buttons.
Step 3 Drag the command button you want from the Buttons pane to the desired toolbar.
Step 4 When you have added all the buttons you want, click OK.
To remove buttons from a toolbar, do the following:
Step 1 Open the Customize dialog box.
Step 2 Click the button on the toolbar you want to remove and drag it off the toolbar.
