• Alternative menu background
Gives menus an alternative, paler texture which makes them look more like textured
equivalents of the traditional white menus. It also distinguishes them from other windows,
which is generally desirable.
•
No icon boxes in windows
Allows or prevents icons consisting of text and sprites to be plotted where the text is given a
solid background overlaying the window background texture.
•
No icon boxes on pinboard
This is the more visible incarnation of the No icon boxes option above. If you chose a
pinboard backdrop which wasn't grey, little grey boxes would appear around all the text
beneath the icons. Thisoption solves the problem for the pinboard and other similar
windows. Note that the only time you might want the grey boxes is if the text colour you
have selected isn't visible with your background graphic. However, it might be easier just to
change the text colour in the Pinboard setup tool.
•
Fully 3D icon bar
Without this option set, the 3D window borders would only be set on the top and bottom of
the icon bar (because a full icon bar can scroll left and right). With it set, the left and right
edges also become 3D.
•
Window border colours
With this window, you can set the colours of the 3D edges of windows and menus. This can
be useful if you are using your own tiles for these.
The Display Manager
This is the screen icon second from the right hand side of the Icon Bar. It allows you to
choose which screen resolution, colour depth and refresh rate you wish to run at.
Click on the icon to open the settings window.
