Changing the display of the view

You can change display settings for the navigation or links view; for example to show items as thumbnails. If the view shows the scratch or reference panes as well as the main pane, changes to the display settings apply only to the active pane. Changes you make for the main pane also apply to the panorama pane.

With site views, a significant display setting change you can make is from the default graphical view to outline view. Outline view is a hierarchical display of folders, subfolders, and files like the one in the Files tab in the site window. Outlines show more detailed and compact representations of the files in the main pane.

To change the display for a site view:

1. Display the navigation view or links view.
2. Click the pane you want to change (main, scratch, or reference).
3. Click the Display tab in the View palette.
4. Do any of the following:
• To show the site view graphically or in outline, select Graphical or Outline. If you select outline, you can show and hide columns in the outline by selecting the columns from the Show Columns menu. If you select Outline for the main pane, the panorama pane closes.
• To specify how you want to show items in the view, select Icons, Thumbnails, Frames, or Ovals. Ovals are oval-shaped only if the Frame Size is set to Wide. Otherwise they are circles.
• To specify how you want to show item labels, select File Name or Page Titles.
• To change the distance between items in a pane, enter a width and height for Cell Size.
• To change the size of each item in a pane, select a frame size.
• To change the color of items in a pane, click the Item Color field. Drag the Brightness slider to adjust brightness, and click a color in the Color palette. The color you choose is used for the frames of items, and a lighter tint of it is used for the fill. The color doesn't apply if you show items as icons.
