===Main Toolbar===
[[Image:TAmain.png]]
From left to right: Activity toolbar; Edit toolbar; View toolbar; show/hide palette; erase canvas; run project fast; run project slow; stop project; Help toolbar; stop activity
Keyboard short cuts for the above: Alt+ '''p'''alette; '''b'''locks; '''r'''un; '''w'''alk; '''s'''top; '''e'''rase; e.g., Alt+e will erase the screen. Esc will return from full-screen mode.
Notes: The run buttons are tied to the [[#descriptions (6)|Start Block]]. If no Start Block is used, then all blocks are run when either run button is clicked. The "rabbit" button runs the blocks at maximum speed. The "turtle" button pauses and displays the turtle between each step. The "bug" button pauses between each step and shows status information.
On older versions of Sugar (e.g., 0.84), the main toolbar will look like this:

=== Palettes Toolbar ===
The palette menus are revealed by clicking on the Block icon on the main toolbar. (On older Sugar systems, select the Projects toolbar. When running Turtle Art from GNOME, the palettes are visible by default.)
[[File:TApalette-toolbar.png]]
As of Version 106 of Turtle Art, there are ten palettes of program elements available for program construction: [[Activities/Turtle_Art/Turtle|Turtle movements]]; [[Activities/Turtle_Art/Pen|Pen attributes]]; Color attributes; [[Activities/Turtle_Art/Numbers|Numeric operators]]; [[Activities/Turtle_Art/Flow|Logical operators]]; [[Activities/Turtle_Art/Blocks|Logical blocks]]; Media blocks, [[Activities/Turtle_Art/Sensors|Sensor blocks]]; Customization functions; and [[Activities/Turtle_Art/Templates|Presentation blocks]]. An eleventh palette is used for restoring blocks from the trash.
Blocks are dragged from the palette onto the canvas surface. To dispose of a block, drag it back onto the palette. (It will be placed onto the trash palette.)
The palettes can be displayed horizontally or vertically (See below). Orientation is adjusted by clicking on the [[Image:TAorientation0.svg]] and [[Image:TAorientation1.svg]] buttons on the upper-left corner of the palette. The palette can be hidden by clicking on the [[Image:TAhide.svg]] button on the lower-right corner of the palette. The next palette in the menu can be accessed by clicking on the [[Image:TAnext.svg]] button on the upper-right corner of the palette.
The [[Image:Hide-blocks.png]] button is used to hide/reveal the program blocks. Individual palettes can be hidden by clicking on their highlighted tab.
