Adornments

What are adornments?

Adornment graphics are small icons that you can attach to any branch and they sit either left or right of the branch numbering before the branch text.

Showing the adornment selector

To show the adornment selector, click on the Media Browser button in the toolbar, or press +Shift+A.

Adding adornments to branches

Select the adornment you want to use, and drag it on to the branch.

Changing the sequence of adornments

If you want to have the adornments in a different order than originally placed on your branch, drag them into a different order. You can also drag outline numbers into a different position relative to the adornments.

Deleting adornments

Delete adornments by dragging them out of the branch (but not on to another branch). Outline numbers can not be deleted by this method - to remove outline numbers, turn outline numbering off.

Moving an adornment to a different branch

Drag the adornment to the other branch.

Creating your own adornments

You can add your own custom adornments under "Custom Adornments". To do this, you will need to copy the files you want to use into a specific folder, as detailed below. Steps to accomplish this are as follows:

Select the images you want to add to your list of adornments. Any image type recognized by MacOS X will do. The images should all be 16 pixels wide and 16 pixels high. If they are not that size, NovaMind will resize them to that size when you use them.

From your home folder, select a folder called Library. Inside this folder, create a folder called "NovaMind" (if it doesn't already exist).

Inside the NovaMind folder create a new folder called "Custom Adornments".

Copy your image files into the "Custom Adornments" folder. If you want to organize your images, you can also create folders inside the Custom Adornments folder, and these will be reflected in the adornment selector.

If you have the Adornment selector open, click the Reload button to refresh the items in the list.
