EAW Smaart 6 Operation Manual Troubleshooting

Control Spacing
You may have noticed that when changing video resolution or color depth in Windows
you may also have the option of selecting “Small Fonts” or “Large Fonts.” Some driver
sets provide additional choices. These options refer to the bitmapped screen fonts used
in menus, dialog boxes, and other control areas. Because these fonts are made up of simple
bitmaps (rather than scalable outlines) the display drivers usually include several font sets
in varying sizes to accommodate different screen resolutions.
In some cases, button labels and spacing between controls in Smaart 6, particularly in
dialog boxes, are based on the bitmapped system fonts loaded by the Windows video
drivers. It is possible that some control areas may not display properly in all font/
resolution combinations, depending on your display drivers.
6.6 Restoring the Default Configuration
Smaart’s display and scaling options are extremely flexible but can sometimes be
confusing, especially for new users. Nearly all of these options are stored in the user
preferences file, which is updated each time you exit the program. To return the program
to its factory default settings, simply delete this file, forcing Smaart to create a new one
next time it starts up.
Smaart maintains a separate user preferences file for each user account on the computer
from which the program is run, so deleting your own preferences file will not affect other
users on the same machine. The name of the user preferences file is always
sm6user.plist but its location depends on the OS.
Windows stores the file in:
C:\Documents and Settings\[UserName]\Application Data\Smaart
Mac OSX stores the file in:
../users/[UserName]/library/preferences/sm6user.plist
The term [UserName] refers to the login name for your user account. Note that the
Application Data folder in a Windows user folder is hidden by default so you may need
to adjust your folder view settings to see it.
