3.4.8 Settings

In this dialog, various settings can be made.

Dialogs Here you can specify how dialogs are positioned and whether buttons etc. are to be drawn with 3D edges. In addition, the presentation in windows can be switched on/off.
 
Alerts Here you can specify how alert boxes are positioned.
 
Menu entry margins For menus you can set how wide the automatically generated left and right margin of the menu, and the distance between the text and shortcuts should be. A value of 0 for the shortcuts will disable the automatic alignment.
 
Language
 
Sets the language for the interface. At present are German and English are available. A change immediately affects dialogues. For technical reasons, however, the main menu will be not displayed accordingly until after the next program start.
 
Desktop Specifies the settings for the desktop window.
 
Miscelleneous
 
  • Grow/shrinkboxes: Determines whether the appropriate AES functions for grow/shrinkboxes are used when a window is opened or closed.
  • Drop-down menus: Determines the behavior of the menus. If this option is enabled, you have to click on a menu title so that the menu pops up. This only affects menus presented by ORCS itself in windows, but not the main menu whose behavior is determined solely by AES.
  • overwrite files: If this option is enabled, existing files are overwritten without prior confirmation.
  • hollow dialogs: If this option is enabled, dialogs become transparent when the title bar is clicked. Affects only dialogs that are not displayed in a window.
  • solid move dialogs: If this option is enabled, dialogues that are moved are completely drawn, otherwise only a frame. Affects only dialogs that are not displayed in a window.
  • confirm swapped files: If this option is enabled, ORCS will ask once more if it thinks that you try to load a file in little-endian format.
  • System File-Selector: If this option is enabled, the file selector of the system is used (Selectric, Boxkite, Freedom and all other file selectors creating a corresponding cookie are supported), otherwise the builtin.
  • Save settings on exit: If this option is enabled, the program settings are automatically saved at the end.
