Change the interface

20th March 2013

To make more space:


On your browser (different browsers all phrase this slightly differently, but they all do it) click on the "View" menu, and then select "Full screen" - this will get rid of the whole top browser menu, which tends to take up a lot of screen, and does very little once you are working in the TiddlyManual itself.

Many (Windows PC) computers do this if you just press F11.

To make typeface bigger.


if you press CTRL and the (+) sign together, the typeface will get larger, if you press CTRL and the (-) sign together, the typeface will get smaller

Change Titles, Icons, etc

You can make changes to the following things:

  • Upload a SiteIcon. A SiteIcon gives your manual an identity to make it recognisable to others. Try to keep your SiteIcon 40px or less in height.



If you can't make this work, you can also do this via the Space menu which you will find in the Top menu bar.

  • Change Titles: The SiteTitle & SiteSubtitle can both be changed. After saving and refreshing your browser, they will appear in the browser title bar.
  • Change the main menu: - click and then edit the MainMenu: this is the menu that appears in the Sidebar.
  • Change which Tiddlers automatically open on start-up: You can decide which tiddlers you want 'ready-opened' (if any) on start-up by going to DefaultTiddlers - Whichever titles of other tiddlers are recorded in the text of that tiddler, those are the ones that will be automatically opened when you first open the TiddlyManual.
