Things you may want to change/adjust.
=====================================

All settings are made by dialogs found in the Launchers "System" - "Settings" menu.
These dialogs also provide individual help (Via the help button).

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.
    We recommend use of the 'mswindowsxp' style - even for non XP systems.
    As an alternative, and for older windows systems (NT, Win2K etc.),
    consider selecting the 'mswindows95' style.

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 and English
    are fully supported. 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-class translations.

    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 - we are working on that issue.

Misc settings:
    Tabulators can be changed to be either multiples of 4 or 8;
    See the Launchers "System - Settings - 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 offered in the Launcher, as there are still
    some 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.
