Pop-up Toolbox on Right-Click
If this is activated, the toolbox opens on right-click in the event display and
editors. You can change the number of rows in which the tools are arranged
on the toolbox. Keep the right mouse button pressed until the mouse pointer
changes to a double arrow and drag to the bottom or right.
• To open the context menu instead of the toolbox, press any modifier key
when right-clicking.
Cross-Hair Cursor
This allows you to set up a cross-hair cursor when working in the event display
and editors, facilitating navigation and editing, especially when arranging in
large projects. You can set up the colors for the line and the mask of the
cross-hair cursor, and define its width. The cross-hair cursor works as
follows:
•If the Selection tool (or one of its subtools) is selected, the cross-hair
cursor appears when you start moving or copying a part/event or when
you use the event trim handles.
•If the Draw tool, the Cut tool, or any other tool that makes use of this
function is selected, the cross-hair cursor appears as soon as you move
the mouse over the event display.
• The cross-hair cursor is only available for tools where such a function is
of any use.
Event Display
The Event Display section contains several settings for customizing the display in
the Project window.
Show Event Names
Determines whether the names of parts and events are shown.
Hide Truncated Event Names
When zooming or resizing elements, the events can become very small so that
the name is no longer completely visible. The name gets truncated. If this
option is activated, event names are hidden if they do not fit into the event.
Show Overlaps
When events overlap, this setting allows you to specify when the overlapping
areas are displayed.
Grid Overlay Intensity
Increases or decreases the overlay intensity of the displayed grid lines.
Event Handling Opacity
Increases or decreases the opacity of an overlying event background when
you move it.
