First of all, the setting in the -<guilabel>Cursor shape:</guilabel> dropdown box determines what the drawing -cursor looks like. You can choose between a cursor resembling the actual tool -you are working with, a normal cursor, a crosshair, and a brush-shaped cursor. -Then you can select the <guilabel>Palette Behavior</guilabel>. You can set -here when palettes may be <quote>docked</quote> (set aside at a window -border): always (<guilabel>Allow docking</guilabel>), never -(<guilabel>Allow only floating</guilabel>), or when there is enough space -(<guilabel>Allow docking only on large screens</guilabel>). The last option is -<guilabel>Palette font size:</guilabel> which determines the text size used in -the palettes. Set this to a larger value if you have trouble reading the text, -with the side effect that the palettes will take more space. -</para> - -</sect2> - -<sect2 id="settings-preferences-display"> -<title>The <guilabel>Display</guilabel> section</title> - -<para> -<screenshot> -<screeninfo>The <guilabel>Display</guilabel> section</screeninfo> -<mediaobject> -<imageobject> -<imagedata fileref="preferences-display.png" format="PNG" /> -</imageobject> -<textobject> -<phrase>The <guilabel>Display</guilabel> section</phrase> -</textobject> -<caption><para>The <guilabel>Display</guilabel> section</para></caption> -</mediaobject> -</screenshot> -</para> - -<para> -This section contains just one option.

The topmost option can be used to set the default -color model for creating new images (useful if you usually want to create CMYK -images, for instance). Use the <guilabel>Display</guilabel> options to let -&krita; know what color profile your monitor uses, and how rendering should be -done. Under <guilabel>Printing</guilabel>, you can set the color model and -profile for your printer. The next option determines what &krita; should do -when you paste an image into it that was copied from another application. If -<guilabel>Use Blackpoint compensation</guilabel> is checked, whenever a -colorspace conversion is needed, the black points of the source and -destination colorspaces are matched. -</para> - -</sect2> - -<sect2 id="settings-preferences-performance"> -<title>The <guilabel>Performance</guilabel> section</title> - -<para> -<screenshot> -<screeninfo>The <guilabel>Performance</guilabel> section</screeninfo> -<mediaobject> -<imageobject> -<imagedata fileref="preferences-performance.png" format="PNG" /> -</imageobject> -<textobject> -<phrase>The <guilabel>Performance</guilabel> section</phrase> -</textobject> -<caption><para>The <guilabel>Performance</guilabel> section</para></caption> -</mediaobject> -</screenshot> -</para> - -<para> -Two options are available here.

In this -situation, you can use the dialog to make sure you have a correct interaction: -values (position, pressure, tilt...) are sent from the tablet to the computer -in a given order, it might happen that some tablets do not use the default -order.

Furthermore you can set the -<guilabel>Offset</guilabel>: usually the grid is painted starting at the top -left corner, if you want the first main grid lines not to start there, you can -enter an offset (displacement) here. -</para> - -</sect2> - -</sect1> - -</chapter> |
