11 CONFIGURATION
11.10 Interface
This page defines some general display features of XCSoar.
• Safety lock This determines whether the configuration settings dialog is accessible during flight.
• Msg window Defines the alignment of the status message box, either centered or in the top left
corner.
• Events The Input Events file defines the menu system and how XCSoar responds to button
presses and events from external devices.
• Language The language file defines translations for XCSoar text in English to other languages.
If this field is left blank, then XCSoar uses English.
• Status message The status message file can be used to define sounds to be played when
certain events occur, and how long various status messages will appear on screen.
• Menu timeout This determines how long menus will appear on screen if the user does not make
any button presses or interacts with the computer.
• Debounce time This is the minimum interval between the system recognising key presses. Set
this to a low value for a more responsive user interface; if it is too low, then accidental
multiple key presses can occur.
• Animation Determines whether to draw window animations when dialogs open and close.
