Figure 1. Genero Desktop Client Options; Preferences tab

The following options can be configured in the preferences panel:

Path to local images
Default Icon
Default Font
Fixed Font

Path to local images: Specifies the path for gdc to search when an image is needed. GDC will first check if the name provided corresponds to an absolute file name; then it will look in the path you have specified here, then in the /pics directory. If it still has not found the image, it will draw a "..." picture.

Default Icon: Specifies the default icon for GDC. This is the default icon used for the taskbar, the systray icon (under Windows™ systems), the shortcuts, the Terminals and applications.

Default Font: Specifies the default font for GDC. This font will be used everywhere in your applications.

Fixed Font: Specifies the default fixed font for GDC. This font will be used when the fixed font attribute is defined.

Note:

If you enter an invalid directory, the label turns red to warn you:
