# View Menu

The view menu gives you options which change the appearance of the design area and window holding area.

Show widget names - shows the variable name of each widget underneath the widget in the design area.

Show dialog names - shows the variable name of the root widget of each dialog (the shell) underneath each dialog in the window holding area.

Left justify tree - arranges the hierarchy in the design area to be left justified. This is useful when the hierarchy becomes large and the root is hard to find.

Shrink widgets - shrinks the widget icons in the design area to give you an overview of the structure of the hierarchy.

Annotations - a pull-right menu which is used to specify how widgets in the tree are to be annotated. By default the menu can be torn off to provide a reference.

Structure colors - contains a toggle which when set will display the tree using different colours to denote the way in which code is to be generated for each widget. The pullright also contains coloured labels for use as a colour key. By default the menu can be torn off to provide a reference.
