Program options, General page
40.5.2 Language and color scheme ¶
- Language: English or German; the change takes effect after a restart.
- Color scheme: Light, Dark, or System (follows the Windows setting).
40.5.3 Startup and notification area ¶
| Option |
Effect |
| Start program with Windows |
Sets up autostart (see chapter 60.1) |
| Move to the notification area on startup |
Starts minimized to the notification area (tray) |
| Move to the notification area when minimizing |
Minimizing places the window in the notification area instead of the taskbar |
| Move to the notification area on close |
Closing only hides the window - processing continues independently anyway (see chapter 60.1) |
40.5.4 User interface ¶
- Hide “Guides” button: hides the Guides button next to the main menu (see chapter 2.3) - e.g. for tidy workstation installations. The guides remain accessible via Menu → Guides.
40.5.5 Password storage ¶
Defines how stored passwords (e.g. SMTP, database connections) are saved:
| Option |
Meaning |
| Windows Credential Manager (vault) |
Passwords are kept in the Windows vault of the user account (recommended) |
| Encrypted in the configuration |
Passwords are stored encrypted in the configuration files - necessary if the configuration is to be transferred between machines |
40.5.6 Centrally managed profile file ¶
For multi-workstation scenarios: all workstations use the same profile file on a network path.
- Centrally managed profile file: path to the shared file. When set, workstations without editing permission run in client mode: profile editing is locked (see chapter 3.10), changes to the central file are picked up automatically.
- Allow editing of the centrally managed profile file (admin mode): exactly one workstation should have this permission and maintain the profiles.
- Export current profiles as a profile file…: creates the central file initially from the local profiles.
