Create an About Box Frame
Using the Frame Editor, you can create an About box frame from the about_box frame template.
To create a frame using the about_box frame template
1. On the Develop tab, select the application in which you want to create the frame in the Applications portlet, and then select the header bar of the Components portlet to make it active.
2. Click File, New, User Frame.
3. The Create User Frame dialog appears.
4. Enter the component name in the Name field (for example, My_About_Box).
5. (Optional) Enter a comment for the component in the Remark field.
6. Select core from the Application list.
In the Template list, Workbench displays a list of the frame templates contained in the application library or included application that you specify.
7. Select about_box from the Template list.
8. Click Create.
The About Box Assistant appears.
9. Enter the current version number of your application in the Application version entry field.
The version can include text and numbers (for example, 1.0 Beta).
10. Click Generate.
The frame is created and displayed in the Frame Editor.
Note:  All the fields containing text are blank, since the text strings only appear at runtime.
11. Change the default logo:
a. Select the image trim field in the upper left corner of the form, and then select the Image property in the Property Inspector.
A standard Browse dialog appears, displaying the default logo.
b. Click Browse.
A standard File Selection dialog appears.
c. Select a graphic file and click OK.
The selected logo appears in the Browse dialog.
12. Click OK.
The logo appears in the image trim field in the About Box frame.
13. Resize the graphic by using the field's resizing handles or specifying its Height and Width properties.
14. (Optional) Specify other frame properties using the Property Inspector.
Note:  The two entry fields, db_name and or_info, cannot have their text values changed by resetting the default values in the Property Inspector; any changes are overridden by the text provided by OpenROAD at runtime.
