Windows, sheets and zones

How windows open, minimize, pin and resize, and what happens to them on narrow screens.

What opens on top of a screen (a sheet, a token's settings, help) is handled by Tinta with a few rules that are the same for everything.

Windows

On wide screens those things open as floating windows. Each one has in its header:

Minimize: it keeps it on the shelf (Minimized) to reopen it later with a click on its name.
Pin / Unpin: it leaves it fixed where it is and always reopens it in that place.
Close.
In the corner, the handle to Resize the window.

They are dragged by the header. You can have several open at once; the last one you pressed on stays on top.

Sheets

On narrow screens (phone and tablet) windows become sheets that rise from the bottom, full height or half screen. They close with Close, with Esc or by pulling them down.

Zones

The screen is divided into zones (header, panel, map, bar). With F6 focus jumps from one zone to another, and with Esc you close the top thing. To go back in a sheet, Alt ←.

Help in the header

Some windows have a “?” button in their header: it opens the part of the guide that explains that window, without leaving the screen.

Common problems

“I lost a window.” Look at the shelf of minimized ones; if you pinned it, it opens where you left it.

“The window does not fit my screen.” Zoom the browser out or use a full-screen sheet on mobile.
