In the Dialog Size and Placement pane, you can tell ProShow to make all
dialog sizes available, regardless of screen resolution. Keep in mind that if
your monitor isn't capable of display certain resolutions (like 1920x1080),
windows may feel broken when opened, and you may not have access to all
of the windows' options.
The Workspaces check box is toggled on by default to make sure that you
automatically return to the Build Workspace when creating a new show. If
this option is unchecked, when you create a new show, ProShow will
remain in whatever Workspace is currently selected.

The last pane is used to control the look of your Folder List. These options
control how the Folder List looks and what information it contains. By
default the Folder List has options set to make it look as much like your file
browsing experience in Windows Explorer.

You can change the look by enabling or disabling certain parts of the
Folder List appearance. For example, ‘knobs’ are the + and – icons that
indicate whether a folder has been expanded or not. ‘Lines’ can help you
figure out which folder is a sub-folder of another by drawing lines between
nested folders.

The most significant options here are those which let you show fixed or
removable volume labels. If you name the drives you have on your system,
those names will appear in the Folder List when these two options are
enabled. This can be very helpful when locating certain drives on your PC –
especially if you don’t know the drive letter.

Note: the easiest way to figure out what Appearance settings you prefer is
just to experiment with them. The changes are made as you enable or
disable options, so you can watch the Workspaces as you make changes to
figure out which settings you like best.
