The Lite-Brite Screen

Help Button

     Click on the "?" icon to open help (this page) in a separate window.

Pegs

     To choose or change the color of pegs to use, click on a peg from the top left-hand area of the screen.  Then click in the grid to place a peg of that color.  Notice that the cursor color tells you what peg color you have selected.  To delete a peg, click on the "X" icon, located next to the color selection pegs.  You can then click on a peg in the grid to remove it, as if you were replacing the peg with a black peg.  At any time, you may change the active peg color by clicking on another color selection peg (or the "X") at the top-left of the screen.  Note that you can change a peg simply by clicking on it, which replaces that peg with a peg of the curently selected color (you do not need to "remove" a peg before doing this).

Active Color Indicators

     Icons located between the color selector pegs and the help icon indicate the currently selected color, for both the cursor and its matching color peg.

White Lines

     The two horizontal white bars above and below the grid indicate the width and boundaries of the Lite-Brite grid.
