System Setup Utility B-5
Customizing the SSU
The SSU lets you customize the user interface according to your
preferences. The AF sets these preferences and saves them in the
AF.INI file so that they take effect the next time you start the
SSU. There are three user-customizable settings:
„
Color— this button lets you change the default colors
associated with different items on the screen with
predefined color combinations. The color changes are
instantaneous.
„
Mode— this button lets you set the desired expertise level.

novice

intermediate

expert.
The expertise level determines which tasks are visible in the
Available Tasks section and what actions each task performs. For
a new mode setting to take effect, the user must exit the SSU and
restart it.
„
Language— this button lets you change the strings in the
SSU to strings of the appropriate language. For a new
language setting to take effect, you must exit the SSU and
restart it.
„
Other— this button lets you enable or disable the status bar
located at the bottom of the SSU menu displays.
There are three way to change the interface default values:
„
Use the mouse to click on the proper button in the
Preferences section of the SSU Main window.
„
Use the tab and arrow keys to highlight the desired button,
and press the spacebar or
Enter .
„
Access the menu bar with the mouse or hot keys (Alt +
underlined letter).
Note:
If you run the SSU from nonwritable media
(

preferences will be lost when you exit the SSU.
