	View \| Full Screen	F3

This option causes the View Window to use the entire screen, without title bar or menus. If the image is larger than the screen, you will still have scroll bars. While in full screen mode, use the right mouse button or the F10 key to see the View Window menus, which will appear vertically instead of horizontally. You can perform any of the View Window commands while in full screen mode; however, cropping an image will reduce the window to the size of the cropped image. You can select View-Full Screen again or press F3 to exit full screen mode.


	View \| Autosize Window	Ctrl+F6 F6

This option will make the view window the same size as the image displayed in it (if possible).


	View \| Maintain Aspect Ratio	Shift+F6 F6

This option causes ThumbsPlus to maintain the original file's aspect ratio when stretching to fill the window. This applies to both metafiles and bitmaps.


	View \| Assumed Gamma	G

Image Gamma This dialog box allows you to assign the assumed gamma value for an image, and to set the default for a file type (so that any files loaded with the given type will be assumed to be adjusted for that gamma value.)

Use the arrows or the mouse to change the assumed gamma value. Select a value of zero (0.0) to turn off gamma correction for this image.

Check Set for this Image to store the selected gamma value in the database for this image, so that whenever it is loaded it displays using this gamma.

Check Set Default for Type to assume the selected value as the default for any loaded images of this file's file type. If you're using a palette-based (256-color) display driver, the change will be immediately visible. For 24-bit (truecolor) and 16-bit (highcolor) displays, you must click on the View button to see the changes.


	View \| Zoom In	Z

This selection "zooms in" on the current bitmap or metafile. For bitmaps, each pixel is shown as a square. For metafiles, only a portion of the file is viewed, but at increased magnification.

It is useful for viewing details in an image. It does not modify the image itself -- use Image | Rotate/Resize for changing the size of an image.

You can select Zoom In multiple times to view progressively smaller areas of an image. You may also use the keys 1-9 to zoom from 1x (unzoomed) to approximately 9x.


	View \| Zoom Out	Shift+Z Z

This function zooms back out after Zooming in.


	View \| Zoom to Fit All	F6

When this option is checked, the image will be stretched (or shrunk) to fill the size of the window.


	View \| Zoom to Fit Width	Ctrl+W W

When this option is checked, the image will be stretched (or shrunk) so that the width of the graphic fits the width of the window. This is most useful for portrait-oriented files, such as documents.


	View \| Gridlines	L

This option toggles the display of grid dots when zoomed in by 3x, or lines between pixels when zoomed in by 7x or more.


	View \| Customize Toolbar	Ctrl+T T

Customize Toolbar Use this dialog box to configure the ThumbsPlus toolbar to your liking. Most menu commands are available as toolbar buttons; simply drag the ones you want to the place you want on the toolbar.

You can also move buttons on the toolbar, or drag them completely off to remove them. Buttons may only be on the toolbar once - if you add a button a second time, it will move to the new position.

You may make two rows of buttons, but the second row will not display properly until you select OK to save your changes.

You may also double-click the toolbar to open this dialog box.

There is no keyboard interface for customizing the toolbar (toolbars are for mice, aren't they?).

Available buttons. Shows the buttons available for the toolbar. Drag a button to the toolbar to add it.

Large buttons. Selects the larger size of toolbar button (32x32 pixels), versus the small version (20x20 pixels).

Text on buttons. Adds descriptive text (as in Tool Tips) to each button. This makes the buttons quite a bit larger.

Enable Tool Tips. Enables tool tips, which will describe each button if you leave the cursor over it for about a second.


	View \| Toolbar	T

This selection turns the view window toolbar on or off. If the toolbar is currently on, this option will be checked.

If you want to have a toolbar for each new view window, use Options | Preferences | Viewing from the main window.
To customize the toolbar, use View | Customize Toolbar.
The toolbar is hidden in full screen mode.
When using a display driver with 256 or fewer colors, the toolbar may appear ugly - its colors must be mapped to the current image colors.


	View \| Status Line	S

This selection turns the view window status line on or off.

If you want to have a status line for each new view window, use Options | Preferences | Viewing from the main window.
The status line is hidden in full screen mode.

The fields in the status line are:

viewsts

Modified flag. The text MOD is darkened if the image has been modified.
Quick-Dither flag. The text Q8 appears when a 24-bit image is dithered to 8 bits for display on a 256-color display driver.
Zoom factor. When using the integral zoom (2x to 9x), this field indicates the current factor.
Image size and depth. This field contains the width, height and color depth (in bits) of the current image.
Selection size. The size of the currently selected area of the image. This field is blank if no selection is active.
Position. When selecting, this field contains the coordinates of the upper-left corner of the selection rectangle. When no selection is active, this field contains the current cursor position in the image.
Pixel color. This field shows the current pixel color (red, green, blue). Each sample ranges from 0 to 255. When selecting, this is the color of the anchor point of the selection (the first point selected).
