CHAPTER 4
Pickers
4-24 Standard Newton Pickers
Info Picker 4
The Info picker pops up from the standard Info button at the left end of the
status bar and gives users access to preference settings for the application,
general information about the application, or on-screen help for the
application. The Info picker contain any of these general-information items:
About, Help, and Prefs. The Info picker may also contain additional items
unique to the application. Figure 4-17 shows several example Info pickers.
Figure 4-17 An Info picker lists information items
If you do not have all three general-information items—About, Help and
Prefs—keep the ordering listed, but leave out the unused items. List any
application-specific items below a separator line. If your application does
not have any unique items in its Info picker, or if it has only unique items
(not About, Help, or Prefs), then do not include the separator line. Any unique
items you include in the Info picker should specify a state or initiate an action
that affects the whole application.
An About box should include your application’s name, version number, and
copyright information. You can include additional information in the About
box if you wish, such as a logo, credits, and acknowledgments. Include a
Close box so users can put the About box away after reading it. Use a
conventional matte border.
