Main Window

The PixelOver main window is composed of two main parts:

  • A Top Bar Menu for global actions (file, project, shader, settings, etc.)
  • A multi-page workspace that contains the Home page and one or more Project pages

Top Bar Menu

The Top Bar Menu provides access to the main application actions:

  • File menu
    Create a new project, open an existing project, or import files.

  • Project menu (available when a project is open)
    Save, export, undo/redo, and close the current project.

  • Shader menu
    Access your favorite shader files.
    When a project is open, you can also open or save the shader associated with the active layer.

  • Settings
    Edit global settings and keyboard shortcuts.
    See Settings for more details.

  • About
    Displays information about PixelOver and the current software version.

Home page

You can also pin an item using the favorite button to keep it in the list.

Additional actions:

  • Reorder items using drag-and-drop

Project page

When you create a new project or open an existing one (from the Home page or the Top Bar Menu), PixelOver opens it in a new Project page tab.
