Fonts

Top  Previous  Next

 

The Fonts tab of the Environment dialog opens a sub dialog for setting fonts and some appearance elements in the ChipProgUSB windows. Only mono-spaced (non-proportional) fonts (default is Fixedsys) are used to display information in  windows. To improve appearance of the windows, you can set up either another font for all windows, or individual fonts for each particular window.

The Windows area lists the types of windows. Select a type to set up its options. The set options are valid for all windows of the selected type, including the already opened windows.

 

Element of dialog

Description

Window Title Bar

Toggles the title bar for windows of the selected type. If the box is checked it adds a toolbar at the position specified by the Windows Toolbar Location option. To save screen space uncheck the box. Also, see notes below.

Window Toolbar Location

Sets the toolbar location for the selected window.

Grid

Turns on/off the display of the vertical and horizontal grids in some window types, and permits adjusting the column width (when the vertical grid is allowed).

Additional Line Spacing

Provides additional line spacing, which will be added to the standard line spacing. Supply a new value or choose from the list of most recently used values.

Define Font

Use This Font for All Windows

Applies the font of the chosen window type to all ChipProgUSB windows.

Notes

1. To move a window without the title bar, place the cursor on its toolbar, where there are no buttons, and then operate as if the toolbar were the window title bar. Also, you can access the window control functions through its system menu by pressing the Alt+<grey minus> keys.

2. Each window has the Properties item in its local menu, which can be invoked by a right click. The Title and Toolbar items of the Properties sub-menu toggle the title bar and toolbar on/off for the individual active window.
