You can make the following settings:
Own screen and mode
Here you can determine, whether fxPAINT shall run on an own screen
or the Workbench®. An own screen is recommended. This setting only
takes effect after a restart of the program.
Bold screen font<
Uses a bold font for some GUI elements.
Display backdrop
If this option is active, fxPAINT uses fxPAINT:GUIPics/BackDrop.gfx
as background pattern. ATTENTION: This option can affect fxPAINT's GUI
performance negatively due to the way Intuition® works.
Use AXIS
Here you can set, whether you want to use the display calibration
system AXIS for rendering the images. A description of AXIS can be
found in the next subchapter.
Userstatus
Set your level of experience here. Depending on your level of
experience, some actions will be done "without resistance" instead of
asking for a confirmation, first.
GUI style
Here you can set the style (Skin) of the fxPAINT userinterface. "IO
ONE" is the new and fresh style introduced with fxPAINT 2.0, whereas
"fx Classic" uses the original fxPAINT 1.x style. If you prefer the
classic look of OS 3.x, choose OS 3.x style, here.
Bubble help
This option can be used to enable/disable the bubble help within
fxPAINT. You can also change this setting within the horizontal bar on
top of the screen.
TT Fontdir
fxPAINT supports TTEngine by Grzegorz Kraszewski. If you have it
installed, you can choose the directory in which you put your
TTF-files, here.
Printing system
For historical reasons the AMIGA® has many different printing
systems. Normally you won't need to change this option but leave it at
"Auto". Only if you experience problems or you know exactly what you
are doing you should change this setting.
Thumbnail size
This setting determines the size of the thumbnails in fxALBUM.
Save icons
fxPAINT can save an icon for every saved graphics. "Preset" saved a
standard icon for the chosen fileformat whereas NewIcon, OS 3.5+,
MorphOS (small, 64, and big, 128) save a shrinked version of the image
as an icon of the respective format.
Adapt suffixes
This option makes fxPAINT adapt the file suffix of saved files,
depending on the format to save.
Use tableau
This option determines whether the information received by tableau
drivers should be used.
Pressure sensity
In order to meet your individual requirements and preferences, you
can determine here how the pressure data received shall be weighted.
Values smaller zero result in a decrease of pressure sensity whereas
value greater than zero result in an increase.
Max. queued mouse steps
The AmigaOS® doesn't send a message to fxPAINT for every mouse
movement. Thus edges may occur even with round movement. An increase of
this value fixes this problem but lets fxPAINT react slower, as it has
to do more calculations. This should not be noticable on faster
computers, though.
Enable mousewheel-support
If you have connected a mouse with mousewheel and appropriate
driver (!) - like e.g. the "4D+ Mouse" by VMC - you can switch on and
off support for it, here.
PPC-merge barrier
This value determines, upon which number of changed pixels a
frequent called lowlevel routine shall be executed on an existing
PowerPC. The theory behind this is, that an 680x0 CPU may already be
done until a PowerPC returns control from context switches. Normally,
you should leave this setting to the default. Under MorphOS this option
is no more required and is thus disabled.
Save and Use
Uses the made settings permanently or until you quit fxPAINT. Some
settings will only take effect after a restart of the program.
