Without sidebar

A basic note window with an uncustomised view with the sidebar hidden (non-default) has the following elements, working top to bottom:

• Caption bar with standard OS window controls and displaying the note's title (Name).
• The main text window. It can be simple unadorned text as shown here or marked up with emphasis and use different fonts.
• Sidebar visibility toggle icon. A disclosure triangle icon.
• Make Link tool. Turns the cursor to an active link ready to click on a target note or parking space. This tool is retained in the old position so as to allow link creation when the sidebar is hidden.

If the window is not big enough to support a sidebar the Views menu item to toggle the sidebar is greyed out with the caption "Too narrow for sidebar". Resize the note horizontally to re-enable the sidebar toggle feature.
