13.5.2.10 Image Window Appearance

Figure 13.61: Image Window Appearance Defaults

This page lets you customize the default appearance of image windows, for normal mode and for fullscreen mode. All of the

settings here can be altered on an image-speciﬁc basis using entries in the View menu. See the Image Window section for

information on the meaning of the entries.

The only parts that may need further explanation are the ones related to padding. ‘Padding’ is the color shown around the edges

of the image, if it does not occupy all of the display area (shown in light gray in all the ﬁgures here). You can choose among four

colors for the padding color: to use the color speciﬁed by the current theme; to use the light or dark colors speciﬁed for checks,

such as represent transparent parts of the image; or to use a custom color, which can be set using the color button for ‘Custom

padding color’.
