Using
the Finder 59
The size
box
is
located
at
the
bottom
right-hand
corner
of
the window. As will be shown
later
in this chapter, the size
box
can be used
to
change the window's size. This has
no
bearing
on
the quantity
of
information which can be stored in a win-
dow's directory.
The
shaded bars with
arrows
at
either end located
on
the
bottom
and
right-hand side
of
the window are used
to
scroll
through the window. In many instances, especially when work-
ing with
document
files, all
of
the information contained in
an
icon
cannot
be displayed in a window. The scroll bars allow the
window to display different portions
of
the icon.
CHANGING THE ACTIVE WINDOW
As
we
can see from figure 3.11, when the System Disk icon
is opened, its window is initially active. Notice
that
the active
window lines are displayed in the
System Disk window's title
bar. Let's open the
System Folder
and
Empty Folder icons as
well.
Our
Desktop will resemble
that
depicted in figure 3.13.
Since the Empty Folder icon was opened last, it is cur-
rently active. We can change the active window by moving the
pointer inside
of
the window
we
wish
to
be active
and
clicking
the mouse button. Move the
pointer
inside the System Folder
window
and
click the mouse
button.
As shown in figure 3.14,
the
System Folder window
is
now active.
