Color
The color controls enable you to select a color system for the backdrop,
window borders, window pane, and menu areas of the display. Each will be
set to a color based on the palette chosen from the list. Once a palette
is chosen, it can be modified to suit your needs by clicking on Modify.
Color changes will apply to all workspaces. 
Font
Changing the font size will alter the display character size of the next
and subsequent windows opened. The text size in the Help Viewer documents
are not affected by changing font size.
Different font sets can be added to the list of Font Groups by clicking on
the Add button. The Attributes button enables you to choose alternate
character sets. 
Backdrop
The Backdrop choice enables you to change the background for the current
workspace. Color choices you make will also affect the backdrop
appearance. Each workspace can have a different backdrop applied to it. 
Keyboard
The Keyboard controls allow you to adjust the Click Volume and the Auto
Repeat function. If the Click Volume value is set to zero (0), the key
click is turned off. If undesirable changes have been made to these
settings the Default button will set the values back to their original
settings. 
Mouse
Changing handedness of the mouse will reverse mouse buttons 1 and 3.
Button 2 can be used to select text or objects (Adjust) or drag-and-drop
objects (Transfer). If Adjust is selected, transfer actions (drag) will
require the use of mouse button 1. The maximum time between clicks of a
double-click can be adjusted. Changes to this will become effective with a
new login session. Acceleration changes how fast the mouse pointer moves
across the display. Threshold determines the distance in pixels the
pointer moves at slow speed before moving at the accelerated rate. 
Beep
The volume of the beep noise can be set to a value between 0 and 100. If
set to 0, the beep noise will be turned off. The Tone selector will
determine the pitch of the beep, from 82 to 9000 Hertz. The duration of
the beep noise can be set to last from 0.1 to 2.5 seconds.
Screen
The Screen controls enable you to designate which screensaver program will
run when you lock your workstation display. You can designate a number of
screensavers to run, in succession, and have each of them run for a period
between 0 and 120 minutes. You can also set the period of screen
inactivity (in the above example, 15 minutes) at which the screensaver
will automatically be invoked. 
Window
This control allows you to designate how windows and icons can be
manipulated. 
Startup
Setting the Home Session saves the current work session windows as the
default windows to open when the next Home session is started. If you
choose Set Home Session, this will override any previously saved
information. You can choose to either return to the session as it is when
you log out (Current session) or to your Home session when you log back
in. Turning off the Logout Confirmation Dialog option means that you will
automatically be logged out when the Exit button is selected, without any
further confirmation being requested. If the Logout Confirmation Dialog
option is set to on, you will be asked to confirm that you do want to log
out when you choose to exit. When you start your next work session, the
data contained in any windows will either be gone or be set to default
values.
