Some FAQ’s about Balthisar Cascade

Is this Program Freeware??

Yes. All versions of Cascade are freeware!

Can I seem some screen shots?

Sure. Here they are. (Windows 95 is shown.)

The Main Screen…

THE MAIN SCREEN (left) is the primary interface to the Cascade application. At the top is the standard Windows menu bar, beneath which is the Cascade shortcut bar, which is detachable. The left-most pane is the class list, where HTML element-classes and other class types are created. The right-most pane shows the CSS2 code as it will be exported from Cascade (you also have the option to view all classes or tagged classes in this code preview pane). Both of these panes are also detachable. The center pane contains 14 pages which are used to set values for all of the CSS2 attributes. The very bottom of the screen contains the documents tabs, which allows for up to 10 open documents. Beneath that is miscellaneous status information.


The Panes Tabs…

THE PANES TABS (left) provide access to each of the CSS2 attributes for which you may set values. This is a closeup of the tabs. Their location in the interface can be seen above. The mis-spellings are intentional, in order to provide enough one-touch key combinations to turn all of the pages without using a mouse.

The Preferences Windows…

THE PREFERENCES WINDOWS (above) provides the user a centralized location to set preferences for the customization of the Cascade application. It is divided into two pages: one for application preferences, and one for document information.

The Color Picker…

THE COLOR PICKER WINDOW (above) is divided into two major portions, which give the user the choice to specify dynamic system colors, or static HTML colors. The adjectives “dynamic” and “static” in this sense indicates function, not taste! A dynamic color is one that can be different on each computer, for example, the color of window title bars. A static color is a discrete color that is supposed to look exactly the same on any computer using any operating system. The HTML color portion of the picker gives the user the ability to mix colors using standard RGB sliders, -or- to choose a named HTML color, -or- to pick a custom color the user has previously set.
