Toast App User Guide

The Toast window is the primary interface where users interact to execute actions. It consists of a header with window title and close button, page navigation tabs for switching between pages, a button grid displaying configured buttons in grid or list layout, and a status bar showing the status of the last action and a settings toggle button.

The settings window provides an interface for configuring the application. It includes a header with window title and save/cancel buttons, a sidebar with tabs for general, buttons, appearance, and advanced settings, and a main content area that displays options based on the selected tab.

The system tray menu provides quick access to open Toast, access settings, view about information, and exit the application.

The core functionality of Toast App is to quickly access the application through a global shortcut. The default shortcut is Alt+Space (customizable in settings). Pressing this shortcut will show or hide the Toast window.

Toast App organizes buttons into multiple pages for better organization. Navigate between pages using number keys (1-9) or clicking on page tabs. Add pages with the + button or Shift+Plus key. Remove pages with the - button or minus key in settings mode.
