This page covers the main aspects of WinSTon which you will need to know in order to use the emulator. First time users may want to read through this page and then go on to the Quick Guide. |
WinSTon uses two main keys for its operation. These are F11 and F12. F11 allows you to toggle between a Window and full-screen display. F12 toggles between Windows mouse mode and the ST emulated mode. This is explained in the next section. There are also short-cut keys, such as SHIFT+F11/F12 and CTRL+F11/F12 which are undefined by default. When these keys are not assigned you can press SHIFT+F11 to bring up the Floppy A disc selection dialog. This is useful when running in full-screen mode as you can insert a disc and return back to the full-screen display automatically. In a similar way, SHIFT+F12 allows you to insert discs into Floppy B. These short-cuts can be changed by going to the Keyboard options dialog. Another key used is the Print Screen key which when pressed will take a 'snapshot' of the emulator screen and save it to disc. |
WinSTon has two mouse modes - Windows and ST emulated. When in Windows mouse mode the mouse behaves as normal allowing you to move around the whole screen and select icons/applications. The other mode, the ST mode, directs your mouse movements to moving the mouse in the emulated window. While in this mode you cannot move the mouse outside the limits of the emulated desktop - to do so simply press F12 to return to the Windows mouse mode. |
WinSTon has five icons on the Tool Bar which you can select when in Windows mouse mode. Some buttons have 'drop-down' arrows beside them. Clicking on these will drop a small menu down allowing for users to select additional features, such as inserting disc images without resetting the emulator.![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
The Status Bar will inform you of information while you use the emulator. It also uses a number of icons to show you what options are currently active.![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
