party.
Consequently, there's a row of tabs along the top-left side of the program, labeled,
respectively, "layouts", "backgrounds", "art search", and "art browse". Clicking on one of the
tabs brings up one of the categories of stuff you can add to your label. Clicking on
"backgrounds," for instance, brings up a list of little thumbnailed images of all the built-in
backgrounds you can add to your currently selected label. Click on a background, and it
becomes your label's background. Click on another one (or use the arrow keys to select
another one), and now it becomes your label's new background. We think that's pretty
straightforward.
Hiding the Tools Window
Of course, you may be the type who can't abide distractions. "How can I concentrate on
perfecting the elements I've already chosen for my label," you may say, "if I've got all these
other backgrounds and clip arts tempting me?" I know I tend to be this way in chocolate shops.
So if you want the tools window to go away altogether, you can click on the left arrow button
at the bottom of the window. This will make the labels window take up the entire screen.
Once you do this, the left arrow button will turn into a right arrow button; clicking on it will bring
the tools window back again.
Making the Tools Window Bigger or Smaller
Perhaps you want, like me, to have your tools window visible, but you find the cosmic balance
between the yin of tools and the yang of labels (or vice versa) is a little off, and you'd like a
little more or less of the tools window. This is easily solved. When you want your tools window
to be bigger or smaller, you can click on the border between the tools and labels windows and
drag it to size things however you want them. The mouse cursor will change into a little
horizontal resizing arrow whenever it's over the border.
The Label Tabs
If you've ever wondered, "How do I edit all the different labels that a CD has?" or "What's that
row of tabs along the upper right hand side of the window for?", then you've come to the right
paragraph. The row of tabs above the labels window corresponds to the different label faces
you can design. Clicking on a tab will bring its respective label to the foreground so you can
play with it. Clicking on a label tab will also change the tools/ingredients windows to display the
available backgrounds and layouts for the new foreground label.
