WinEdt in Action
WinEdt's overall appearance depends on your Windows and on the way you customized WinEdt's colors and background schemes. Below are a few snapshots of WinEdt in action on Windows 11 (with 288 dpi high resolution display).
WinEdt in Action as TeX Editor
WinEdt working on the manual for its PDF Viewer (WinEdtPDF):
TeX was executed in WinEdt's Console (bottom panel). The default shortcut to toggle the visibility of the console is Shift+Ctrl+C.
WinEdt provides a special GUI Page Control containing almost 500 buttons associated with TeX symbols. The control and its contents are user-customizable...
WinEdt and its PDF Viewer next to each other
Windows makes it easy to align and adjust two applications next to each other. Both WinEdt and its previewer "remember" their size and position and there is no need for extra options to control such behavior:
Unless you have a gigantic display, windows alignment comes at a cost:
- You may have to hide the (useful) navigation panes on the left side to make room for the contents.
- Reduced zoom values in the previewer can make the pdf document hard to read.
- Annoying horizontal scrollbars may become a necessity.
- Toolbars and menus may get reduced or clipped.
That's why such Window arrangement is not everybody's choice...
WinEdtPDF in a custom "eye-friendly" color range
Should you find the default white background hard on your eyes, here is a solution:
Custom background color (color range) can be enabled or disabled in the Preferences Dialog. The following (solarized) RGB color range was used for this example:
Black RGB: #000000 White RGB: #FDF6E3
WinEdt in Action as HTML Editor
Below is an example of customized WinEdt working on its web pages. Note the variable width font and fixed right margin (with Soft Wrapping) enabled for HTML mode:
WinEdt is using a light solarized theme (Options -> Themes -> Solarized Light) to match the "eye-friendly" color range of its previewer in the example above.
WinEdt in Action as NSIS Editor
Below is an example of WinEdt working on its NSIS installer script:
WinEdt's (smart) Universal Compile (F9) function is mode-sensitive. For NSIS documents it executes the NSIS compiler rather than PDFTeXify (which is the default compile engine for TeX documents).
WinEdt in Solarized Dark Theme
Below is an example of WinEdt 11.1 in Solarized Dark Theme (see the Options Menu for more custom themes):
