Application preferences
The controls in the Application panes of the Preferences dialog box
(QuarkXPress/Edit > Preferences) affect the way QuarkXPress works with all
projects, including how projects are displayed and saved. These settings are saved
with the application and are never saved with projects.
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.”)
(Windows Only) Color Theme preference can be used to change the QuarkXPress
appearance.
