All settings can be changed via dialogs found in the Launchers "System-Settings" menu.
|
|
5 |
These dialogs also provide individual help (via the help button). Many initial setting
|
|
6 |
values are read from startup files ending in ".rc". You can edit those to adapt to your
|
|
7 |
personal preferences.

Look & Feel:
|
606
|
10 |
ST/X supports multple viewStyles, which more or less mimic
|
|
11 |
existing Window Systems (Windows, Motif, Irix etc.).
|
516
|
12 |
The viewStyle can be changed via the Launchers
|
657
|
13 |
"System - Settings - ViewStyle"
|
606
|
14 |
Dialog.
|
959
|
15 |
Currently, the prettiest style is the 'mswindowsxp' style - even for non XP systems.

Keyboard & Shurtcuts:
|
606
|
18 |
The default keyboard mapping is described in the Keyboard.wsp workspace.
|
|
19 |
If you dont like it, have a look (and edit) the 'keyboard.rc' file.

Language:
|
959
|
22 |
For lack of resources and language competence, only German, English and Spanish
|
|
23 |
are fully supported. A lot of Chinese and some rudimentary French, Italian etc. are present,
|
516
|
24 |
but definitely not complete.
|
606
|
25 |
Notice, that the existing translations are only provided to give a hint
|
|
26 |
on how it is done and to give editors something to start with.
|
|
27 |
All language strings are found in the
|
518
|
28 |
"lib*/resources/*.rs"
|
959
|
29 |
files; there you will find per-package translations for individual languages.
|

If you add or fix anything there, we would be very happy,
|
606
|
32 |
if you'd send us your changes - we will incorporate them into the next release.

|
33 |
Make sure that your chosen font is able to display those characters
|
606
|
34 |
(especially if you edit Greek, Russian or a far-east language translations).
|
|
35 |
|
|
36 |
Sorry: ST/X does not (yet) support right-to-left text display
|
959
|
37 |
(i.e. Hebrew and Arabic). Be patient - maybe someone pays us to do it in the future.

Misc settings:
|
657
|
40 |
Tabulators can be changed to be either multiples of 4 or 8;
|
959
|
41 |
See the Launchers "System-Settings-Tools-Editing" dialog.
|
|
42 |
Keyboard focus behavior and some performance related
|
|

Tools:
|
606
|
46 |
For the File- and SystemBrowser, new versions are provided, which
|
959
|
47 |
offer much more functionality. The old versions are still around, as there are still
|
|
48 |
a few functions which are not yet available in the new tools.
|
606
|
49 |
You can switch back to make the old tools the default via the
|
959
|
50 |
"System-Settings-Tools" Dialog.
