GENERAL INFORMATION
===================

The Graphical Buttons Interface is an External GUI File for use with MirageOS, the Flash Application shell for the TI-83 Plus. This Interface displays all the compatible programs on your calculator by their Images, ones that MirageOS-specific programs can have custom designed, and then generic Images for BASIC, TI-82, and ION programs. These Images function as "Buttons" because you can cursor through the various Program Images, and they will be Inverted and shift slightly, giving the impression of "Sinking In" like buttons do. This Interface arranges the buttons in two rows, extending more programs offscreen, to the right. The max number of programs that can be displayed at once is 10, however there is the ability to scroll left and right to view more programs.

KEYPRESS INFORMATION

OTHER ASPECTS
=============

The top of the Program Descriptions Interface shows the MirageOS header, seen in the Program Manager as well as other Interfaces, and the Top-Right corner of the screen shows the name of the current folder you are in. On the bottom of the screen, you will find more detailed information about each program, such as its name that appears in the PRGM menu, its File Size as appears in the Memory Menu of the TI-OS, and the Custom Description that programs can have.
