(To do: add a screenshot here)

== Game Tools ==

In the bottom-left corner of the screen is your main toolbox icon. Tap or click it to expand the tool buttons. If you're on a very small screen, these might cover your whole view.

== Talk Box ==

In the bottom center is your “talk” box. If you're on a touchscreen-only device, touch inside the box to bring up your touchscreen keyboard.

* When it's red, you cannot “speak” in the game. You'll see the “no talking” icon; touch it to find out why. (Perhaps you're in a [[Quiet Area]]?)
* When it's yellow, you can speak, but there are children who might see (“hear”) whatever you type, so please be courteous and avoid sensitive or offensive language. You'll see [[Diamond Icons]]; touch it to identify the listening child(ren). (Perhaps that discussion could be moved to an [[Adults Only]] area?)
* When it's blue/green, you can say whatever you want. A blue box indicates that there do not appear to be any players who could hear you, though.

To “speak” what you've typed, click the “speech bubble” icon to the right, or press '''Return''' or '''Enter'''.

The button to the left of your chat is the “shout/whisper” button. Whispering travels less distance; shouting travels farther and appears in larger type.

* [[Builder:Non-Verbal Chat Buttons]]
* [[Builder:Hands-Free Chat Mode]]
* [[Builder:Chat Translation]]

* [[Toot Voices]]

== Paperdoll ==

At the bottom right corner is the [[Paperdoll]] button. Tap/click it to view your [[Wardrobe]] or [[Equipment]] or view your [[Badges]] if you're in the [[Troops]].
