In new model windows, display toolbar, component bar and equation
bar

When a new model window is created, which happens both when Simile is
started or when a submodel is opened in its own window, the window is
capable of displaying the standard toolbar, component bar and equation bar,
if desired. Note that this does not change the display of the tool bars in
existing windows. To control the display of the tool bars in existing
windows use the "View" menu and check or uncheck the "Toolbar", "Component
bar" or "Equation bar" items. The default is to display all three tool
bars, unless the window is not large enough.

Display popups over model components for equations, values and
comments

While in pointer mode, holding the pointer over any
model component will cause a popup window to appear including that
component's equation, value(s) and description and comments. These can be
suppressed by unchecking any or all of these options. If none is selected,
the popups are suppressed completely.

• The equation is displayed on a green background.
• The description and comments are displayed on a brown background.
• The current value for the variable, provided you have built the model, is displayed on a yellow
  background.

Note that an alternative, especially for complex data structures is to
use the snapshot
tool.

Use large buttons

An alternative set of tool bar and component bar buttons is provided
with 32x32 pixel graphical images. The default is to use 16x16 pixel
graphical images.
