Enable bitmap cache - enabling this function will give an increased performance when drawing
controls, but it also uses Windows system resources which may be limited on some systems;
especially Windows 9X or ME. If only one instance of the LightJockey application is running, this will
not be a problem, but if Windows throws up a warning that system resources are getting low, make
sure to deselect this option.
Allow freeze output - enables or disables the users access to the freeze output function.
Allow sequence blind mode - enables or disables the sequence blind mode
Allow offline switch - enables or disables the On/Offline switch
Allow fixture solo selection - enables or disables the fixture solo selection function
Open controls on Windows desktop - normally most controls retain their last position when re-opened.
When this option is enabled, all controls are forced to open within the boundaries of the Windows
desktop. Checking this option ensures that if controls have been placed outside the visible area of the
Windows desktop (e.g. when lowering the video resolution) they will become visible when re-opening.
Note for multi-monitor systems: Windows desktop is defined as the upper left corner of the primary
display to the lower right corner of the last display. However, if monitors are driven in different screen
resolutions, the desktop height (or width if displays are vertically configured) is defined as the height
(or width) of the primary display. This may cause problems if secondary displays are driven at a
resolution different from the primary displays - in this case it is probably the best to disable the option.
Open controls on LightJockey desktop - when this option is enabled, all controls open within the
boundaries of the LightJockey desktop. Use this option if controls have been placed outside the visible
area of the Windows desktop (e.g. when lowering the video resolution).
Start LightJockey on Secondary Monitor - check this option to force LightJockey to start up on the
secondary monitor in a multi monitor system. Setting is ignored if only one monitor is detected.
Restore LightJockey desktop on startup (Size/Position) - when checked, the LightJockey desktop will
default to the same size and position and size it had when LightJockey was previously closed down. If
not enabled LJ will maximize on the designated monitor.
