Program Preferences

The button opens the Preferences dialog box. It looks like this:

• Language. Change the program language by selecting another from the drop-down list.
• Interface Scale. Choose the size of the interface elements. When it is set to Auto, the program workspace will automatically scale to fit the screen resolution.
• Interface Theme. Select the style of the program interface: Light, Gray or Dark.
• Initial Image Scale. This parameter defines the way the image is scaled in the Image Window after opening. The parameter can take one of two values:

  - image scaling Fit to View. The scale adjusts so that the image will be completely visible in the Image Window;
  - if the option 100% is checked, image doesn’t scale. Generally, when the scale = 100%, only part of the image will be visible.

• Hints Panel. You can choose how the hints will be shown:

  - Under Image Window;
  - Under Settings Panel;
  - Hide.

• Recent Files (available only in the standalone version). The number of recent documents sorted by time. Maximum: 30 files. Right mouse click on the icon to show the list of the recent background images; on the icon to show the list of the recent foreground images.
• Use OS File Dialog check-box. You can check this option if you want to use the System Open/Save Dialog. By default, the AKVIS File Dialog is used.
• Lock the Control Panel check-box. It disables the possibility to hide/show the top panel. If the check-box is selected the panel is always visible. Uncheck the option to unlock the panel, and you will be able to hide/show it by clicking on the small triangle button (in the middle of the panel). The minimized panel will be shown when moving the cursor over it.
• Use GPU. The check-box lets you turn on GPU acceleration. If your computer does not support GPU acceleration the check-box will be disabled.
