Customization

Workspace

To access this window, click on View | Workspace from the top context menu. It unfolds all the workspace options that may be visible while you work. If not selected, they will be hidden.


Theme

Two different color themes provides Black or Dark. To access this window, click on Tools | Theme from the top context menu. It unfolds the theme options.


Languages

From the Tools options on the upper menu bar, you can access the Language you want to run your program. If you wish to change it, select the new language and restart the program.


Automatic positioning of floating windows

When a floating window moves through the working window, certain marks will appear, enabling the automatic positioning of the floating window. In the middle of the screen appear the position marks. By positioning the cursor of the mouse while pressed, on any of the four keys, the area represented will be highlighted and the floating window will be positioned there. 


Hide windows

Floating windows can be configured to automatically hide when not used, in order to save working space. The icon appearing on the window bar representing a tack shows whether the window can be hidden or if it is fixed. The following example indicates that the window is a fixed one. If pressed, the tack mark will assume a horizontal position, meaning that the window can be hidden. In the case, for example, of the Job Queue window, when it is hidden a tab appears in the interior part of the working area. Right-clicking on the tab you can organize its window position.

Properties

The Properties is an options tree that is used to control most of the functions that the program has, along with its configurations. These functions appear and disappear, depending on the objects selected and the possible actions that might be undertaken at each moment. In some of the branch options, the 'Apply' and 'Save' buttons are available so that the parameters introduced are kept for the same configuration. Logically, it is always possible to change the values manually at any time.  In the boxes where you can add numeric values, you must press enter on your keyboard in order to validate them. In other cases, after making changes, these will come into effect by clicking on this button.

Most of the functions are branches of the main section 'Selection'. To hide them, you just have to click on the ' - '.
