Options - General Page

The General tab on the Options dialog allows a number of features that apply across the whole program to be changed. The dialog is displayed when you select Options from the Tools menu.

The options currently available on this tab are described in the following table.

Option	Description
Windows at Startup	Select the option to be used for reopening windows at start up: None - do not open any windows on start up. Reopen Previous - on start up, reopen the windows that were open when the application was last closed. When using the Reopen Previous option, hold down the SHIFT key when starting the application to prevent reopening of windows.
Zoom / Scale	Use this section to indicate whether zoom levels or scales are to be used to control visibility (e.g. visibility of themes or auto-labels). Use zoom levels - select to use zoom levels. Zoom levels are a function of the shape and size of the GeoPlan. Use scale levels - select to use scale levels. Scale levels are a function of the drawn objects. Note: If the type of level to be used is changed, the software needs to be restarted for the changes to take effect. Edit Levels - click to edit the current levels. This displays the Scale or Zoom dialog (depending if zoom or scale is being used) where new levels can be added and existing levels can be deleted. The buttons below are used to set the behaviour whenever a user types a new scale/zoom level value in a visible range or scale / zoom min and scale / zoom max box: Show new level dialog - the New Level dialog gets displayed so that the user can add new levels to the existing set of levels. Use next highest level - the existing level that is the closest to the typed-in value, but higher, will be picked by the software. Use next lower level - the existing level that is the closest to the typed-in value, but lower, will be picked by the software.
Licence expiry date reminder	If checked, a warning message is displayed when your licence is within one month of its expiry date. See ICMLive Operator Client Licences. Checked by default.
Prompt for confirmation before exiting	If checked, an "Are You Sure?" message is displayed when you close ICMLive Operator Client.
Use GDI+ when drawing graphs (recommended)	Checked by default. High performance graphics may cause problems when printing graphs using GDI+. Uncheck this box to turn off the use of GDI+. Note: Non-solid lines on graphs cannot be used when GDI+ is turned off.
Show image in background	Checked by default. Uncheck to hide the image that is displayed by default in the ICMLive Operator Client background. Hide image for remote sessions - checked by default. The background image can slow down remote desktop sessions; select this option to hide the image when the session is remote.
Use system theme fonts for dialogs and grids	If checked, the fonts defined in the system theme will be used for dialogs, property sheets and grids.
Hide run complete messages	Checked by default. Uncheck to show the popup 'run complete' messages.
