◊ Getting Started

If you've gotten this far then you have successfully installed the OneClick! application on your Macintosh.   

OneClick! consists of two parts: the OneClick! application and a palette file.  Each palette you create will have its own palette file.  The palette file contains information about the items you have placed on your palette, the palette size, location, and configuration.  

Whenever a palette is open on your desktop, the OneClick! application must be able to locate the palette's file so it can update the palette information as necessary.   OneClick! will look for the palette's file in the location it was at when first opened if it's an old palette, or the location it was created at if it is a new palette.   

After opening an old palette or creating a new palette, do not move, delete, or change the name of the palette file if that palette is still in use.  If you want to move, delete or change the name of the palette file, first close the palette, make your changes and then reopen the palette if you wish.

Example: 
       John creates a new palette called "New" in his "OneClick" folder.  He decides he wants to rename the palette to "Home Base" and place it in the System's "Startup Items" folder so that the palette will automatically appear on the desktop when his Macintosh is restarted.  
       To do this, John must first close the "New" palette by selecting "Close" from OneClick's "File" menu, or by clicking the palette's close box.  
       Once the palette is closed, John can go to Finder, click on the palette's file, rename the palette to "Home Base" and drag it into the "Startup Items" folder. 
       John can then reopen the "Home Base" palette by double clicking on its icon, or restart his Macintosh.

Failing to close a palette prior to moving, deleting, or renaming the palette's file will cause an Alert Box to appear asking you to restore the palette's file to its original name and location.
