660 27. Configuring ProShow: Preferences

Changing the Appearance Preferences

Most of what you can change in the Appearance category alters the look of
the Workspaces. You can change how buttons on the toolbar are displayed,
which dialog sizes will be available and set assorted options for your Folder
List.

The most notable option found here is the ability to change how text for
unnamed slides will appear. An “unnamed” slide is a slide you have created
but have not named using the Rename link under the Layer Settings tab
of Slide Options. By default, ProShow will use the default ‘Slide #’ value.
That means that if your slide is the first in your show it will appear in the
slide list as ‘Slide 1’.

Previous versions of ProShow used a different naming scheme for unnamed
slides. These slides took the name of the top-most layer on the slide. If that
layer was called ‘DSC95272’ because that’s what the image used to create
it was called, your slide would have the same name. You can set your slides
to display this way by changing the value to ‘Use name of top layer’.

Finally, you can choose to select ‘No text’ which will display no name at all
on the slides.

The Main Window pane is used to control how your Toolbar will look in
each of the Workspaces. Changing these options can remove some of the
graphical flair from the buttons, like the gradient background, textures, and
large buttons. Just uncheck a value to disable it. They are all enabled by
default.
