The Action Button
=================

The evolution of the application's design has led to a streamlined approach in controlling the generation and optimization of patterns. Where there were once multiple buttons for various actions, functionality has been consolidated into a singular, intuitive interface element – the :guilabel:`Generate Pattern` button.

Upon clicking the :guilabel:`Generate Pattern` button, the application initiates the pattern generation process, incorporating all user-defined settings into the final design. Throughout this process, the :ref:`status area<status>` serves as a dynamic feedback mechanism, displaying the ongoing progress and current status of the generator, keeping you informed from start to finish.
