The View Menu

...sports a variety of display-configuring options:

Editor Only, Grid Only and Both Editor and Grid allow you to see almost what you'd expect. Actually, if you select Grid Only and then double-click a note (or press Enter when a note is focused) you will find yourself viewing only the Editor; if your view is Editor Only and you exit the note by pressing Escape you will find yourself viewing only the Grid. Possibly these three menu items should be streamlined to 'Split View' and 'Unsplit View'. You tell me.

Note Preview Window: select this (it will sprout a checkmark until you select it again) and you will be treated to a small floating window that will display the contents of whatever note cell the mouse pointer happens to be on.

Note Preview In Nav Box: select this (it will sprout a checkmark until you select it again) and the contents of the note the mouse pointer is atop will appear in place of the Grid Navigator.

(See the description of Set Preferences for a modification of the way the preview displays work.)

Next up are four different display options: Notebox Count, Category Count, Notes In Cat Count and Note Editor Text Count.

Notebox Count is shown (if you choose to display it) at the lefthand side of the Status Bar under the main menu, and can display the total number of notes in the notebox, or the total number of words, or the total size in characters.

The Category Count is shown (if you choose to display it) at the righthand side of each category's header, and can display the number of notes, words, or characters in each category.

Notes In Cat Count controls whether all the notes display, in their upper righthand corners, their size in characters or words (or nothing at all).

Note Editor Text Count controls whether the toolbar just above the editor displays, in the box to the right of the line:column display, the size of the editor in characters, words, or lines (or nothing at all). (Note that this box also displays the "editor has been changed" status in the form of an underline beneath whatever happens to be displayed there, including nothing (which can be hard to see).)

Next we have the Tray Menu option. Notebox Disorganizer's tray icon (discussed elsewhere) has a useful menu that is perhaps difficult to invoke without a mouse; this item allows you to get at it from the main menu. Possibly this item should be listed under Pop or Tools, but Tools is getting a bit long for a menu, and Pop is really for navigation...

Track Editor Cursor Position... Select this -- it will sprout a check mark until you select it again -- and when you click a note it will automatically scroll in the editor to the position where the cursor was when you edited it last.

The Color Editor BG options will allow you to set the background color of the Editor (and Editor Scratchpad) to match the background color of the note in the Grid. With some exceptions. And unless I have an epiphany there will probably be no corresponding function for matching the text color.
