Customizing the User Interface¶
A number of useful features exist in MIKE+ to customise how the interface is displayed, to suit a range of preferred working methods.
Minimise the Ribbon View¶
As a default, a ribbon is displayed along the top of the screen to enable easy access to views and tools. However, to enable more space on the screen for other information it is possible to unpin the ribbon by a right mouse click on the ribbon and selecting “minimise the ribbon”. This ensures that the ribbon is not always seen, but only visible when one of the options on the top menu is selected.
Quick Access Toolbar¶
The quick access toolbar with a few regularly used functions (undo, redo, save, close, etc) is available as a default above the ribbon. For a more traditional look, it is possible to place this toolbar below the ribbon by a right mouse click on the ribbon and selecting “Show Quick Access Toolbar below ribbon”.
Add regularly used tools to the toolbar by a simple mouse right click on the desired tool in the ribbon view and selecting “Add to Quick Acess Toolbar”.
To remove buttons from the quick access toolbar, mouse right click on the button on the toolbar to be removed and select “Remove from Quick Access Toolbar”.
The buttons visible on the quick access toolbar can also be customised by clicking on the drop-down arrow on the right hand side of the toolbar and ticking/unticking the desired tools to be displayed.
Customizing Windows¶
MIKE+ supports multi-screen use and the ability to customise views for efficient workflows. All tools and tables can be resized, maximised (double-click), shifted to another screen, docked on the main central part of the interface, or floated (double-click on the docked tab heading).
Right click on an open tab to dock/float (alternatively double-click on the tab), display horizontally/vertically (neatly display from the bottom or right of the screen), or close the current screen/all but the current screen. It is also possible to create multiple groups of tabs (especially useful when using multiple screens) by right clicking on a tab and selecting “move to next tab group.”
To toggle between open windows, click on the small triangle on the top right of each tab group and select/deselect tabs.
