SCREEN(1) DICTIONARY SCREEN(1)
SCREEN
SCREENS are the basic elements of the Amiga display. As the
name suggests, SCREENS correspond to the screen display, and are the
place where all other graphic objects (apart from sprites) are
drawn. The Amiga can display many screens at the same time, meaning
that applications can open their own screen and do whatever they want
with it.
The top part of the screen is called the menu bar. It usually
contains the screen title on the left, and the two depth gadgets on
the right. When the right mouse button is clicked on, the titles of the
menus attached to the screen or the active window are displayed on it.
SCREENS can be dragged up and down, (by dragging the menu bar)
revealing screens that are behind them. SCREENS are piled up on a
stack, the top one being displayed over the other one. By dragging the
top SCREEN down, it is possible to show the bottom one's. Clicking on
the depth gadgets of a screen moves it at the top (white gadget) or the
bottom (black gadget) of the stack.
