1 00:00:00.04 --> 00:00:01.07 - In this movie, I'll show you how 2 00:00:01.07 --> 00:00:03.00 to cycle between the screen modes, 3 00:00:03.00 --> 00:00:06.02 as well as how to hide and show interface elements. 4 00:00:06.02 --> 00:00:08.05 And this is all about other ways to manage 5 00:00:08.05 --> 00:00:10.06 your onscreen experience, as well as 6 00:00:10.06 --> 00:00:13.01 show off your work to coworkers, 7 00:00:13.01 --> 00:00:15.03 colleagues, clients, and so forth. 8 00:00:15.03 --> 00:00:18.02 And then I promise, after this, in the next chapter, 9 00:00:18.02 --> 00:00:21.00 we'll actually get down to the task of drawing. 10 00:00:21.00 --> 00:00:24.00 Alright, so notice down here at the bottom of the Toolbox, 11 00:00:24.00 --> 00:00:27.03 we have this icon that says Change Screen Mode. 12 00:00:27.03 --> 00:00:29.09 If you click and hold on it, you'll see a popup menu 13 00:00:29.09 --> 00:00:32.06 of three different screen modes that are 14 00:00:32.06 --> 00:00:34.05 available to you in Illustrator. 15 00:00:34.05 --> 00:00:38.04 I want you to also notice that if you hover above this icon, 16 00:00:38.04 --> 00:00:41.02 you're going to see a keyboard shortcut of "F." 17 00:00:41.02 --> 00:00:44.02 And that is for the word, "full," in the Fullscreen modes. 18 00:00:44.02 --> 00:00:46.03 And when I say "F," by the way, 19 00:00:46.03 --> 00:00:48.08 you just press the "F" key and nothing more. 20 00:00:48.08 --> 00:00:51.03 Now, I want you to notice, before we do anything else, 21 00:00:51.03 --> 00:00:53.03 that by default we're working in what's called 22 00:00:53.03 --> 00:00:55.09 the Standard Screen mode, which means we're seeing 23 00:00:55.09 --> 00:00:58.04 the menu bar, as well as the control panel, 24 00:00:58.04 --> 00:01:00.07 all the title tabs as well 25 00:01:00.07 --> 00:01:02.05 for these multiple open documents, 26 00:01:02.05 --> 00:01:04.01 we have the Toolbox over here 27 00:01:04.01 --> 00:01:05.08 on the lefthand side of the screen, 28 00:01:05.08 --> 00:01:09.00 and we have the panels on the righthand side of the screen. 29 00:01:09.00 --> 00:01:11.02 Also, everything is adjacent. 30 00:01:11.02 --> 00:01:12.09 So we're seeing both the vertical 31 00:01:12.09 --> 00:01:15.06 and the horizontal scroll bars in their entirety. 32 00:01:15.06 --> 00:01:19.06 If I switch to the next screen mode by pressing the "F" key, 33 00:01:19.06 --> 00:01:22.03 then notice that I hide all of the title tabs, 34 00:01:22.03 --> 00:01:26.00 and my window now expands to behind the panel. 35 00:01:26.00 --> 00:01:28.01 So notice that we're not seeing the 36 00:01:28.01 --> 00:01:30.01 vertical scroll bar anymore. 37 00:01:30.01 --> 00:01:32.04 And Illustrator's also allowing the document 38 00:01:32.04 --> 00:01:35.03 to tuck behind the toolbox, which, in other words, 39 00:01:35.03 --> 00:01:37.00 gives us more room to work. 40 00:01:37.00 --> 00:01:40.02 I can even go ahead and lift the bottom of the panels 41 00:01:40.02 --> 00:01:42.05 over here on the righthand side of the screen 42 00:01:42.05 --> 00:01:46.00 so that we can see a little more of the document window. 43 00:01:46.00 --> 00:01:49.00 Which again is great if you just want to maximize 44 00:01:49.00 --> 00:01:50.06 how much room you have onscreen. 45 00:01:50.06 --> 00:01:52.07 Now, you may worry that you're not seeing 46 00:01:52.07 --> 00:01:54.09 any of the title tabs, but the fact is 47 00:01:54.09 --> 00:01:57.06 you can still switch between the various open documents 48 00:01:57.06 --> 00:02:00.04 by pressing "ctrl + tab" here on the PC, 49 00:02:00.04 --> 00:02:03.00 or "command + ~" on the Mac. 50 00:02:03.00 --> 00:02:05.02 And you may notice that these various documents 51 00:02:05.02 --> 00:02:08.09 are no longer centered inside of the document window. 52 00:02:08.09 --> 00:02:10.05 If you want to center them, of course, 53 00:02:10.05 --> 00:02:12.02 all you have to do is press "ctrl + 0," 54 00:02:12.02 --> 00:02:14.00 or "command + 0" on the Mac, 55 00:02:14.00 --> 00:02:15.09 and that will center the document 56 00:02:15.09 --> 00:02:18.08 across the full width of your screen. 57 00:02:18.08 --> 00:02:21.01 Alright, now for the big one. 58 00:02:21.01 --> 00:02:23.01 If you press the "F" key again, 59 00:02:23.01 --> 00:02:26.03 you're going to hide everything except for the scroll bars 60 00:02:26.03 --> 00:02:28.06 and the Zoom and Artboard options 61 00:02:28.06 --> 00:02:31.05 in the lower left corner of the screen. 62 00:02:31.05 --> 00:02:33.03 So in other words, we're hiding the menu bar, 63 00:02:33.03 --> 00:02:36.01 we're hiding the control panel, we're hiding the Toolbox, 64 00:02:36.01 --> 00:02:38.02 and we're hiding the right side panels. 65 00:02:38.02 --> 00:02:41.02 Which is great, again, for showing off your artwork. 66 00:02:41.02 --> 00:02:45.02 So for example, if I press "ctrl + tab" or "command + ~" 67 00:02:45.02 --> 00:02:47.04 a few more times in order to see 68 00:02:47.04 --> 00:02:49.08 the welcome screen by itself, then I could press 69 00:02:49.08 --> 00:02:52.01 "ctrl + 0" or "command + 0" on the Mac 70 00:02:52.01 --> 00:02:54.02 in order to center the illustration, 71 00:02:54.02 --> 00:02:56.03 and I could click inside the Zoom Value 72 00:02:56.03 --> 00:02:58.01 and I could press the "up" arrow key 73 00:02:58.01 --> 00:03:02.01 until I feel like I'm seeing exactly that portion of 74 00:03:02.01 --> 00:03:05.00 the document that I want to see onscreen, 75 00:03:05.00 --> 00:03:08.02 which I believe happens at about 66%. 76 00:03:08.02 --> 00:03:10.04 And that way I can show off my artwork 77 00:03:10.04 --> 00:03:13.04 without having any of the interface in the way. 78 00:03:13.04 --> 00:03:15.09 Now, a lot of people get a little bit panicked, 79 00:03:15.09 --> 00:03:18.09 especially at this point, with this trick, because, 80 00:03:18.09 --> 00:03:20.09 "My goodness, how in the world 81 00:03:20.09 --> 00:03:22.02 do I bring the interface back?" 82 00:03:22.02 --> 00:03:24.03 Well, there's a handful of different ways. 83 00:03:24.03 --> 00:03:25.07 First of all, you can just hover 84 00:03:25.07 --> 00:03:28.04 where the thing that you're missing should be. 85 00:03:28.04 --> 00:03:31.00 For example, if you move your cursor over 86 00:03:31.00 --> 00:03:32.04 to the left side of the screen, 87 00:03:32.04 --> 00:03:33.07 you're going to see the Toolbox, 88 00:03:33.07 --> 00:03:35.09 at which point you could switch to a different tool, 89 00:03:35.09 --> 00:03:38.05 like the Rectangle tool, and then if you like, 90 00:03:38.05 --> 00:03:41.06 draw a rectangle inside of the document. 91 00:03:41.06 --> 00:03:42.06 Which I'm not going to do, 92 00:03:42.06 --> 00:03:44.09 I'm just demonstrating that it's possible. 93 00:03:44.09 --> 00:03:47.00 And notice, as soon as you move your cursor away 94 00:03:47.00 --> 00:03:49.08 from the Toolbox, it once again disappears. 95 00:03:49.08 --> 00:03:52.02 The same is true of the right side panels. 96 00:03:52.02 --> 00:03:54.00 So you can go ahead and hover over 97 00:03:54.00 --> 00:03:56.01 the right side of the screen in order to 98 00:03:56.01 --> 00:03:57.04 bring up those panels. 99 00:03:57.04 --> 00:04:00.03 And then, you can go ahead and click on this Navigator icon, 100 00:04:00.03 --> 00:04:02.08 the little ship's wheel here, in order to 101 00:04:02.08 --> 00:04:04.09 bring up that Navigator panel. 102 00:04:04.09 --> 00:04:06.07 You can even change its size. 103 00:04:06.07 --> 00:04:08.00 You have to be careful here though, 104 00:04:08.00 --> 00:04:10.08 that you don't move your cursor outside the panel, 105 00:04:10.08 --> 00:04:12.08 because then the panel will disappear. 106 00:04:12.08 --> 00:04:14.05 And now I'm going to press the "ctrl" key, 107 00:04:14.05 --> 00:04:16.03 or the "command" key on a Mac, 108 00:04:16.03 --> 00:04:18.07 and drag across David's eyes, let's say, 109 00:04:18.07 --> 00:04:20.07 in order to zoom very far in. 110 00:04:20.07 --> 00:04:22.08 And now notice as soon as I move my cursor 111 00:04:22.08 --> 00:04:25.09 away from those panels, then the panels disappear. 112 00:04:25.09 --> 00:04:29.01 Alright, but the real question is, how in the world 113 00:04:29.01 --> 00:04:31.03 do we bring everything back? 114 00:04:31.03 --> 00:04:34.04 How do we get back to the standard screen mode? 115 00:04:34.04 --> 00:04:36.04 And the answer is, you have one of two options. 116 00:04:36.04 --> 00:04:38.02 Either you can press that same key 117 00:04:38.02 --> 00:04:41.00 that got you here in the first place, which is the "F" key, 118 00:04:41.00 --> 00:04:42.08 or you can press that key that you would 119 00:04:42.08 --> 00:04:45.04 naturally anticipate would get you out of a problem, 120 00:04:45.04 --> 00:04:47.08 and that's the escape key. 121 00:04:47.08 --> 00:04:49.09 And that's going to bring everything back up onscreen, 122 00:04:49.09 --> 00:04:53.02 including my now open Navigator panel. 123 00:04:53.02 --> 00:04:54.09 Which I'm going to go ahead and hide 124 00:04:54.09 --> 00:04:57.00 by clicking on its ">>" icon. 125 00:04:57.00 --> 00:04:59.05 Alright now, just a few more tricks here. 126 00:04:59.05 --> 00:05:02.00 You can temporarily hide all of the panels, 127 00:05:02.00 --> 00:05:04.06 including the Toolbox and the Control panel, 128 00:05:04.06 --> 00:05:06.09 by pressing the "tab" key. 129 00:05:06.09 --> 00:05:08.09 And the advantage of that is that you still have 130 00:05:08.09 --> 00:05:10.06 the menu bar available to you, 131 00:05:10.06 --> 00:05:13.01 and you've got your title tabs. 132 00:05:13.01 --> 00:05:14.03 And you can still take advantage 133 00:05:14.03 --> 00:05:16.03 of those options I was telling you before. 134 00:05:16.03 --> 00:05:18.06 If you want to bring back the toolbox, you just hover 135 00:05:18.06 --> 00:05:21.01 over here on the left hand side of the screen. 136 00:05:21.01 --> 00:05:22.08 If you want to bring back the panels, 137 00:05:22.08 --> 00:05:24.06 you hover your cursor over here 138 00:05:24.06 --> 00:05:26.07 on the right hand side of the screen. 139 00:05:26.07 --> 00:05:28.07 Now let's say you want to bring the panels back, 140 00:05:28.07 --> 00:05:30.07 well again you press that same key 141 00:05:30.07 --> 00:05:32.02 that got you here in the first place, 142 00:05:32.02 --> 00:05:33.09 which is the "tab" key. 143 00:05:33.09 --> 00:05:36.07 And just one more option, you can press "shift + tab" 144 00:05:36.07 --> 00:05:39.03 in order to hide just the right side panels, 145 00:05:39.03 --> 00:05:42.01 and leave everything up onscreen like so. 146 00:05:42.01 --> 00:05:44.04 And then of course if you want to bring those panels back, 147 00:05:44.04 --> 00:05:47.01 just go ahead and press "shift + tab" again. 148 00:05:47.01 --> 00:05:48.09 I'll go ahead and press "ctrl + 0," 149 00:05:48.09 --> 00:05:51.06 or "command +0" on the Mac, and zoom in a little bit here. 150 00:05:51.06 --> 00:05:54.04 You may wonder why, at the end of the last movie, 151 00:05:54.04 --> 00:05:57.01 I was saying that this artwork fits so well 152 00:05:57.01 --> 00:05:58.09 inside of this panel structure. 153 00:05:58.09 --> 00:06:00.09 Well, there's one last thing that I'm going to do, 154 00:06:00.09 --> 00:06:03.06 and that is, switch to the single-column Toolbox, 155 00:06:03.06 --> 00:06:06.01 but clicking on this ">>" icon 156 00:06:06.01 --> 00:06:08.01 in the upper left corner of the screen. 157 00:06:08.01 --> 00:06:11.05 And now, if I press "ctrl + 0," or "command + 0" on the Mac, 158 00:06:11.05 --> 00:06:14.06 you can see that things fit a little bit better anyway. 159 00:06:14.06 --> 00:06:17.02 Now the one problem with switching screen modes 160 00:06:17.02 --> 00:06:19.00 is that things like the color panel 161 00:06:19.00 --> 00:06:20.09 have a tendency to expand. 162 00:06:20.09 --> 00:06:22.00 If that happens to you though, 163 00:06:22.00 --> 00:06:24.01 you can just drag on the bottom of that panel, 164 00:06:24.01 --> 00:06:25.09 to give yourself room to work, 165 00:06:25.09 --> 00:06:28.03 here inside the Layers panel. 166 00:06:28.03 --> 00:06:31.04 And that is how you further manage your onscreen experience, 167 00:06:31.04 --> 00:06:33.07 by cycling through screen modes, 168 00:06:33.07 --> 00:06:37.05 as well as hiding and showing the interface.
