The Toxik workspace may include a variety of views and elements, all of which are designed to ensure a seamless and intuitive workflow. Each preset contains the views typically used to perform a particular task.
Views and elements include:
a) Menu bar | This is always visible by default and cannot be modified--see About the Menu Bar. |
b) Viewports | There can be one or more viewports, depending on the currently selected preset or on a user-defined layout--see Viewports and Views. You can populate the viewports with views such as the Player, Schematic, Curve/Layer editors, and Browser views. |
c) Tool UI | Displays information about the current composition or tool, or the current view when accessed from the Gate UI. You can edit information, or set options and attributes in this view--see Details Area and Tool UI. |
d) Taskbar | This is always visible by default and cannot be modified. You can show/hide the taskbar by pressing Ctrl + t--see About the Taskbar. |
