The Windows tool
With a visual operating system as RISC OS 4, it is inevitable that the configuration options
for the windows themselves be one of the most extensive.
Starting at the top left, the
Solid dragging
box controls which dragging options have "
instant effect solid dragging" and which merely drag an outline box. The outline box
requires less processing power, but your RiscStation computer will give smooth solid
dragging.
To the right of these options you can set which sides of the display allow windows to slide
off-screen. Disabling this makes the workable area of the Desktop much smaller.
When your Icon Bar becomes full, it will scroll left and right when you move the pointer to
each end. The
Icon bar scrolling
settings allow you to set the scroll speed and
acceleration.
Underneath these options are a variety of other visual settings:
• Cover icon bar on full size toggle
Specifies whether or not windows overlap the icon bar at the bottom of the screen when you
click on the toggle size (maximise) button at the top right hand corner of windows.
