     8== Interface ==#Interface
     9The **[wikitr:/Help/Menu Main menu]** offers under
    1210[wikitr:/Help/Menu/File File],
    1311[wikitr:/Help/Menu/Edit Edit],
    1412[wikitr:/Help/Menu/View View],

    2120[wikitr:/Help/Menu/Help Help]
    22 offer all actions possible in JOSM.
    23 A [wikitr:/Help/Action/SearchMenuItems search for menu items] finds every action.
    24 The **[wikitr:/Help/MainToolbar Main Toolbar]** has buttons for actions and presets.
    25 The sidebar called **[wikitr:/Help/ToggleDialogs Toggle Dialogs]** has panels for selected elements.
    26 The **[wikitr:/Help/StatusBar Status Bar]** informs about the drawing position.
    27 The **[wikitr:/Help/EditToolbar Edit Toolbar]** is divided. The lower buttons are for the panels in the sidebar.
    28 Most important are the buttons in the upper part. They choose the different ''Working modes''.
     21all actions possible in JOSM.
     22A search finds every [wikitr:/Help/Action/SearchMenuItems menu item].
    2923
    30 The main working area is the **[wikitr:/Help/MapView Map View]**.
    31 Here new [wikitr:Help/Concepts/Object objects] can be created if the ''Draw mode'' was set before.
    32 The ''Select mode'' is for moving existing objects and for choosing them into the [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/SelectionList#Selection Selection].
    33 More modes exist.
     24On the **[wikitr:/Help/MapView Mapview]** all mouse clicks depend on the [wikitr:/Help/Menu/Mode#Workingmode Working mode] previously switched to.
     25New [wikitr:/Help/Concepts/Object objects] are created in ''Draw mode''.
     26In other modes objects are [wikitr:/Help/Action/Select selected] and edited.

    35 Further dialogs
    36 for setting [wikitr:/Help/Action/Preferences Preferences],
    37 for managing [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/ChangesetManager Changesets],
    38 for resolving [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/Conflict Conflicts] and
    39 the [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/RelationEditor Relation Editor]
    40 are explained in their help.

    42 Only the non-modal dialogs and the preferences are needed here
     28* The **[wikitr:/Help/MainToolbar Main toolbar]** has buttons for actions and presets
     29* The panels in the **[wikitr:/Help/ToggleDialogs Sidebar]** inform about the loaded data and the [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/SelectionList#Selection Selection]
     30* The **[wikitr:/Help/StatusBar Status Bar]** shows the drawing position
     31* The Working mode is indicated in the **[wikitr:/Help/EditToolbar Edit toolbar]**.
     32 Therefore the buttons in its upper part are important screen elements.

    46 The power of JOSM lays in its flexibility to allow every user to download, create, publish and share:
    47 * [wikitr:/Presets Presets] to create map objects fast and easy
    48 * [wikitr:/Rules Rules] to tag according to guidelines,
    49 * [wikitr:/Styles Styles] to change the way the maps are painted,
    50 * [wikitr:/Plugins Plugins] to extent JOSMs functionality and
    51 * [wikitr:/Shortcuts Keyboard shortcuts] of his choice.

    53 JOSM can handle all [osmwiki:Map_Features Map Features].
    54 Growing next to the [osmwiki:Main_Page Openstreetmap] [osmwiki:JOSM since 2005] the growth rate was fast.
    55 Sometimes even faster than the speed of writing documentation, so you are invited to contribute here to keep the docs up to date and translated.

    58 == JOSM error messages ==
    59 * [wiki:Help/ErrorMessages Error messages]
     44All screen elements have their own [wikitr:/Help/Action/Help help context] in JOSM.
     45Other dialogs exist
     46for setting [wikitr:/Help/Action/Preferences Preferences], for managing [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/ChangesetManager Changesets], for resolving [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/Conflict Conflicts], for editing [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/RelationEditor Relations] and for browsing the [wikitr:/Help/Action/ObjectHistory History of an object].
     47{{{#!comment
     48Only the non-modal dialogs and the preferences should be listed above
     49Please no additional icons. For example JOSMImage(dialogs/relationlist) may mean the Relation editor, but it is already shown twice in the screenshot for other elements. Offering a third meaning brings no benefit.

     52=== Changing the User Interface Scale ===
     53You can change the scaling factor of the user interface to better suit your screen or needs:
     541. Go to Edit -> Preferences (or hit F12)
     552. Scroll down to the category 'Advanced Preferences'
     563. In the search box above the list of various configuration entries, enter `gui` to filter the list. This way you will be able to get quickly to the relevant entries.
     574. Adjust elements to your needs by changing entries starting with `gui.scale` or ending with `.font`. For example, to increase everything by 50%, change all of them from '1.0' to '1.5'.
     585. In addition, you can also change only certain Icon sets. As in step 4, filter the list by `iconsize` and change according to your needs. For example, increase the default icon size by changing 'iconsize.default' to '36'.
     596. **Restart** JOSM for the changes to take effect.
