The Preferences tab allows you to set path and font overriding information.

Important: Changes will not be applied until the "Apply" button is clicked.

Set path options

These paths can be set:

Images
Specifies the path for the 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. If it cannot find the image, it draws a "..." picture.
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.
Note:

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

Set font overriding options

These font overriding options can be set:

Default
Specifies the default font for GDC. This font will be used everywhere in your applications.
Monospace
Specifies the default fixed font for GDC. This font will be used when the fixed font attribute is defined.
