Main window

The regions of the Studio main window: title bar and menus, toolbar, project tree, editor tabs, workspace, task cards, Inspector and bottom bar; the purpose of each region.

Studio runs in a single window. The window opens maximized; its minimum size is 1100 × 700 pixels. The window has no Windows title bar: the title row is Studio's own top bar. The panels stand as separate “islands”; in the light theme there is a thin gap between the islands.

Title bar and window buttons

• Moving the window: drag an empty part of the title bar (outside the menus, the project name and the buttons). Double-clicking an empty part maximizes the window or restores it to its previous size.
• Window buttons (top right): Minimize, Maximize (Restore down while the window is maximized) and Close. If there are unsaved changes, Close asks first.
• Resizing: when the window is not maximized, it is resized by dragging its left, right and bottom edges.
• Window name: the taskbar and the Alt+Tab list show <Proje adı> — FabyaVision Studio; if there are unsaved changes, * follows the project name. Inside the window, the same information is given by the project name in the middle of the title bar and the dot next to it.

Portal view and tabs

Each editor that is opened becomes a tab in the editor header above the work area. The Overview tab is always open and cannot be closed; the Portal view button in the bottom bar or View›Overview returns to this tab. The Overview shows the numbers of screens, objects, tags, connections, alarms and users of the project and the cards of the sections; if the program was opened with a new project that has not been touched at all, the Start strip also appears at the top (Project files).

1. Overview — always open; cannot be closed.
2. Active editor — the underlined tab.
3. × — closes the editor.
4. Path — location of the current editor in the project: station › section › group › item.

• Clicking a tab brings the editor to the front. The × button of the tab (visible on the active tab and when the pointer is over the tab) or the middle mouse button closes the tab. The right-click menu offers the commands Close, Close others, Close to the right, Close all and Show in project tree.
• The Path shows the location of the open editor in the project: for a section İstasyon › Bölüm › Grup, for a screen İstasyon › Sayfalar › Grup › Sayfa. The size of the screen is not shown in the path; it appears on the Inspector card while the screen is selected.
• The Window menu lists the open editors (the active one is marked with •) and contains the Close all editors command.

In the bottom bar (9 in the main window figure):

• Clicking the problem button (1 error, 2 warnings or No problems) opens the Info tab of the Inspector. Check the project
• If the project has not been saved yet, the file path field shows “Not saved yet”.

Editing the panel

• Size: drag the gap between the panels (the divider); when the pointer is over it, the divider is highlighted with a blue line. The project tree can be set between 200 – 520, the right panel between 190 – 460 and the Inspector between 110 – 560 pixels. The sizes are remembered on this computer.
• Collapsing the project tree: the left arrow button in the header of the tree (Collapse project tree) or View›Project tree reduces the tree to a thin edge strip; clicking the strip opens it again.
• Details view: clicking its title collapses / expands it (View›Details view).
• Inspector: the arrow button at the far right of its header minimizes / opens the Inspector (View›Inspector window opens it).
• Full screen: F11 or View›Full screen expands the window across the whole display without a border; the same command restores it.
• Theme, language and scale: the theme button in the title bar opens the theme list; language and scale are in Options.
