Display Settings

In order for the SMART Board to display the output from the computer at the optimum setting for the board, the screen resolution must be 1024 by 768 pixels.

Before opening Notebook software, right click on your computer screen and choose Properties on the menu. In Properties, select the Settings tab along the top. Go to Screen resolution and set the resolution at 1024 by 768 pixels, second from the left. Click on Apply, and then click on OK.

You may have to do this every time you start your computer - I really don't know.

Adding themes

It takes up a lot of time to choose a colour and font for every page of a project or unit. That's why Notebook allows you to create a theme. Once you have chosen the colour and font for your theme, you can save it in the "My content" folder and add it to an entire project or unit all at once.

Everyone will love you for being colour coordinated and together. You can create as many themes as you like if you are feeling creative.

I really love Matt Granger and his take on themes.



There is another demo here.
