Preferences Application Display
Use the Display pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit menu) to
specify how the pasteboard and other elements in the application appear on screen
for all projects.
Settings in the Pasteboard area include the following:
Use the Pasteboard Width field to specify the width of the pasteboard on either
side of the page or spread in a Print layout. Pasteboard width is measured as a
percentage of the layout width.
Use the Color control to specify a color for the pasteboard.
To display the pasteboard of the active spread in a different color, check Change
Pasteboard Color to Indicate Active Spread and then choose a color with the
corresponding Color control.
To display the pasteboard in a different color when you are in Trim View mode
(View > Trim View), check Trim View Pasteboard Color and then choose a color
with the corresponding Color control.
Settings in the Display area include the following:
Check Opaque Text Box Editing to turn text boxes temporarily opaque while
you are editing them.
(Windows only) Use the Display DPI Value field to adjust your monitor so that it
displays the best representation of your document on screen.
Choose a profile that corresponds to your monitor from the Monitor Profile
drop-down menu, or choose Automatic. Profiles can be placed in the "Profiles"
folder in the QuarkXPress application folder. (For more information about color
management preferences, see "Preferences Layout Color Manager.")
Use the Adaptive Resolution area to choose between Quality and Performance.
Choosing Quality will cause images to be rendered in the best possible quality.
Choosing Performance will give you better perfomance while working with
images (faster moving, panning etc), but the quality of the image will be
compromized.
This preference can only be set when there are no open projects.
Preferences Application Color Theme
Mac OS X only.
Use the Color Theme pane of the Preferences dialog box ( QuarkXPress/Edit menu)
to specify a color theme for QuarkXPress.
Use the Color Theme drop-down menu to choose from the existing color themes or
click on the icon to duplicate an existing color theme.
Use the Color control to specify a color for each of the categories.
