Things you may want to change/adjust.

=====================================

All settings can be changed via dialogs found in the Launchers "System-Settings" menu.

These dialogs also provide individual help (via the help button). Many initial setting

values are read from startup files ending in ".rc". You can edit those to adapt to your

personal preferences.

Look & Feel:

    ST/X supports multple viewStyles, which more or less mimic

    existing Window Systems (Windows, Motif, Irix etc.).

    The viewStyle can be changed via the Launchers

	"System - Settings - ViewStyle"

    Dialog.

    Currently, the prettiest style is the 'mswindowsxp' style - even for non XP systems.

Keyboard & Shurtcuts:

    The default keyboard mapping is described in the Keyboard.wsp workspace.

    If you dont like it, have a look (and edit) the 'keyboard.rc' file.

Language:

    For lack of resources and language competence, only German, English and Spanish

    are fully supported. A lot of Chinese and some rudimentary French, Italian etc. are present,

    but definitely not complete.

    Notice, that the existing translations are only provided to give a hint

    on how it is done and to give editors something to start with.

    All language strings are found in the

	"lib*/resources/*.rs"

    files; there you will find per-package translations for individual languages.

    If you add or fix anything there, we would be very happy,

    if you'd send us your changes - we will incorporate them into the next release.

    Make sure that your chosen font is able to display those characters

    (especially if you edit Greek, Russian or a far-east language translations).

    Sorry: ST/X does not (yet) support right-to-left text display

    (i.e. Hebrew and Arabic). Be patient - maybe someone pays us to do it in the future.

Misc settings:

    Tabulators can be changed to be either multiples of 4 or 8;

    See the Launchers "System-Settings-Tools-Editing" dialog.

    Keyboard focus behavior and some performance related

    drawing options are adjusted in "System-Settings-Misc".

Tools:

    For the File- and SystemBrowser, new versions are provided, which

    offer much more functionality. The old versions are still around, as there are still

    a few functions which are not yet available in the new tools.

    You can switch back to make the old tools the default via the

    "System-Settings-Tools" Dialog.
