Use the Customize dialog (to customize the TPDesign4 GUI.

Preferences Dialog - Application tab

Select Edit > Preferences to open the Preferences dialog where you can set general program preferences
for TPDesign4. Click on the Application tab to customize Startup, Undo/Redo Support and
Miscellaneous program settings. The items in the Preferences dialog - Application tab include:
Startup:
• Prompt for system
generated name:
• Reload last workspace:
• Expand Workspace
Navigator:
Window:
Auto Stack:
Initial Zoom:
TPDesign4 Touch Panel Design Software (v2.10 or higher)
Application: The items in this tab relate to Startup, Undo/Redo Support and Miscellaneous
program settings.
Appearance: The items in this tab relate to the Design View window.
Directories: The items in this tab allow you to specify default directories for Panel files,
Backup copies and the image library directory.
This option will default the checkbox for system generated filenames (in the New
Project Wizard) to the checked position. With this option unchecked, system gen-
erated filenames are not generated, although the data that makes them up is still
saved.
This option will reopen the last panel file and the pages (including popup pages)
that were open when the application was closed (assuming that a panel file was
open when the application was closed).
Note: If the System Page Template was opened as part of the Workspace, the
Reload last workspace option will cause the application to attempt to open the
(password-protected) System Page Template as part of the last opened work-
space. In this case you will be presented with the Enter Access Password dialog.
Since there is not a password to unlock the file, by design the only option is to
open the System Page Template as a Read-Only file.
This option will expand the tree structure (in the Workspace Navigator - Pages
tab) on application startup. Note that this option does not take effect immediately
on pressing Apply, but will take effect the next time you open a project file.
This setting causes all page windows to stack directly on top of the last active
(selected) page window. Use this option if you are working on a resolution or
zoom setting that takes up most or all of your screen area, and you want to work
with multiple pages without cascading them (which could result in part of the page
window being outside of the viewable area).
This setting sets the zoom factor on any pages and popup pages you open in the
workspace. It does not affect the zoom setting for pages that are already open.
You can also manually set the zoom factor on any page or popup page by select-
ing the page and using the Zoom Toolbar, where you can either use the zoom in
and out icons to zoom in/out (in 25% increments), or select the zoom setting
(including Fit Page, Fit Width, Fit Height) from the drop-down list.
Note: The Auto Stack and Initial Zoom settings are retained the next time you
launch the program.
