<h2>Main Window</h2>
<p>The Paint.NET user interface is broken up in to 9 major areas:</p>
<p><img border="0" src="Images/MainWindow.png"></p>
<ol>
<li>
<h3>Title Bar </h3>
<p>This tells you the name of the image you are working with, as well as the current zoom level and the version
of Paint.NET you are using.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h3><a href="MenuBar.html">Menu Bar</a></h3>
<p>This is where you can access the various menu items. Quite often, commands accessible from this location
will be referenced using <b>Menu → Command</b> notation. For example, <b>File → Exit</b> means to clicking
on the File menu, and then click on the Exit command.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h3><a href="Toolbar.html">Toolbar</a> </h3>
<p>Right below the menus there are several icons and controls for executing various commands or adjusting certain
global drawing options.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h3>Image canvas </h3>
<p>This is where the image is visible, and is the area where you may draw
and perform other actions.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h3><a href="ToolsWindow.html">Tools Window</a> </h3>
<p>This where the active tool is highlighted, and where you may choose from other tools. It is also where
the selected primary and secondary colors are displayed.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h3><a href="HistoryWindow.html">History Window</a> </h3>
<p>Everything you've done to an image since you opened it is listed in this window.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h3><a href="LayersWindow.html">Layers Window</a> </h3>
<p>Every image contains at least one layer, and this window is your primary area for managing them.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h3><a href="ColorsWindow.html">Colors Window</a></h3>
<p>This is the primary area for selecting colors to draw with. It consists
of a color wheel and a brightness slider. If you have expanded the window with the "More" button then it will also contain several controls
for fine tuning and exactly specifying color values.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h3><a href="StatusBar.html">Status Bar</a> </h3>
<p>This area is divided into several sections. The first, on the left, displays quick help and status information.
The next sections display rendering progress (if pertinent), image size, and the cursor location within the
image.</p>
</li>
</ol>
