Workspace
The following changes were made to the RiverWare Workspace.
New Windows Menu
The Windows menu within the Utilities menu was moved to a new top-level Windows menu.
Toggle Workspace Display Mode
A new
Toggle Workspace Display Mode operation was added to the
Windows menu. This operation switches the workspace display between the standard
Full mode and a
Compact mode. In the Compact mode, space is minimized by hiding the Canvas/View, Simulation Object List (if shown and docked within the workspace), and Animation controls (if shown and docked within the workspace).
Figure 6.3 shows a sample.

The action is available in the following ways:
• Select Windows, then Toggle Workspace Display Mode.
• Enter the keyboard shortcut: Ctrl-T
• Select the new toolbar button:

Send Workspace to Back
A new Send Workspace to Back operation was added. This operation causes the Workspace window to be displayed behind any other overlapping window.
The action is available in the following ways:
• Select Windows, then Send Workspace to Back.
• Enter the keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+B
Icon Colors
Access to and appearance of the Window Icon menus was improved. See
Icon Colors in User Interface for more information.
There are two ways in which to select a new icon for the title bar of the RiverWare icons, variations on the standard RiverWare logo:
• Select Windows, then Window Icon.
• Select the new RiverWare logo menu button in the Workspace toolbar, as shown in
Figure 6.4. This change also decreases the height of the toolbar, showing a more compact view.

Save Button Menu
On the Toolbar, the
Save button was converted to a menu. Now when you select the button, you have an option to either
Save Model or
Save As. The purpose of this change is to prevent inadvertent, often time-consuming, saves that occur when you accidentally click the
Save button, perhaps when you intend to click the
Load Model or
Run Control button instead.
Figure 6.5 shows the new
Save menu.
