## Customization

##

The following visual aspects of the eCos Configuration Tool can be changed to suit individual preferences. These aspects are saved on a per-user basis, so that when the eCos Configuration Tool is next invoked by the same user, the appearance will be as set in the previous session.

### Window Placement

The relative sizes of all windows in the eCos Configuration Tool may be adjusted by dragging the splitter bars that separate the windows. The chosen sizes will be used the next time the eCos Configuration Tool is invoked by the current user.

All windows except the Configuration Window may be shown or hidden by using the commands under the View menu (for example, ViewOutput ) or the corresponding keyboard accelerators ( Alt+1 to Alt+5 ). By default the conflicts window is hidden.

Your chosen set of windows (and their relative sizes) will be preserved between invocations of the eCos Configuration Tool.

### Toolbar

Select View Toolbar to toggle the toolbar on and off.

### Settings

To change other visual aspects, select View Settings and then select the Display and View tabs depending on the settings you wish to alter. The options are as follows:

### Settings: Display tab

Labels
  In the configuration window, you can choose to have either descriptive names (the default) or macro names displayed as tree item labels. Descriptive names are generally more comprehensible, but macro names are used in some contexts such as conflict resolution and may be directly related to the source code of the configuration. Note that it is possible to search for an item in the configuration view by selecting Edit Find (see Searching ).
Integer items
  You can choose to have integer items in the Configuration Window displayed in decimal or hexadecimal format.
Font
  Change the font for a particular window by selecting the window name using the drop-down list, then clicking on Change Font to select a font for that window. The changes will be applied when the press OK to dismiss the Settings dialog. If you never make font changes, then the windows will take the default setting determined by your current Windows or Unix environment.
Miscellaneous
  If the Splash Screen checkbox is checked, a 'splash' window will appear as the application is loading. Uncheck this to eliminate the splash screen

### Settings: Viewers tab

View header files
  You can change the viewer used to display header files.
View documentation
  You can change the viewer used to display HTML files.
