Setting the author

From the file menu select the "Set author" item. An input dialog pops up. Type there your name (or nickname). You can add your email address and your web site url if you wish by typing them after your name.

Export the WML code

To export the WML code just click the export button on the toolbar (identified by the Wesnoth icon) or, from the file menu, select the "Export WML" item. You will be asked to select the folder where the file has to be saved. If you have set the author it will be written as a comment on the first line of the file.

Change the program language

To change the program language open the view manu. Its first submenu is labeled "locale". Select from it the item labeled with the name of the language you want. If the required language doesn't belong to this list check the translation list and manually install it if found. You can add your own translation too.

Change the program style

To change the program style you have two options:

• Change the button's style;
• Change the whole program style (called look and feel -LaF-).

The first one can be achived by opening the view menu and getting to the button submenu. Here you can choose the button icons size and whether the button texts and icons have to be displayed or not.
The second one can be achived by opening the view menu and getting to the "look and feel" submenu. You have a list of styles. Choose one and enjoy! Remeber each time you change this option the program is restarted. Your opened works are save to the tmp folder and reopened after the new style has been applied. If any error occours the style will be changed the next time you open the program.
Sometimes old sessions aren't erased and you should erase them manually by deleting the files in the tmp folder or they will be loaded the next time you change the LaF. This bug will be fixed soon.This bug has been fixed from version 1.1
