<a class="indexterm" name="idp1397194524"></a><p>The preference dialog is used to customize the application. It has five different tabs. If you confirm your changes to the default behaviour of the application, the changes are saved and stored imediatelly.</p>
<p>The first icon can be selected to change the <span class="emphasis"><em>General</em></span> options of the application. In the first tab: <span class="emphasis"><em>Application</em></span>, the style is the general decoration used for the windows. It defines the aspect of the buttons and dialog boxes, as an example all screenshots presented in this manual have been done with the Cleanlooks style available in KDE. The available styles are part of the Qt library. The font is the general font used for the GUI (menus, dialogs, etc), it doesn't apply to the plots. You can select the language of the application in the corresponding combo-box. All the available translations can be downloaded from the following address: <a class="ulink" href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=199120" target="_top">Sourceforge repository</a>, you can also use the <a class="link" href="sec-help-menu.html#translations-cmd"><span class="command"><strong>Translations</strong></span> command</a> from the <a class="link" href="sec-help-menu.html" title="The Help Menu">Help menu</a>.The translated messages are in a file with the extension <span class="emphasis"><em>.qm</em></span> which must be placed in a folder called <span class="emphasis"><em>share/translations/</em></span>, situated in the same location as the SciDAVis executable, in order to be loaded by the application.</p>

<p>In the third tab, you can change the default color for the workspace of the application. You can also choose the background color and the text color for panels. The panels are the Log Window (activated by the <a class="link" href="sec-view-menu.html#results-log-cmd"><span class="command"><strong>Results Log</strong></span> command</a>) and the Project explorer (activated by the <a class="link" href="sec-view-menu.html#project-explorer-cmd"><span class="command"><strong>Project Explorer</strong></span> command</a>.</p>
<div class="informalfigure">
<a name="fig-preferences-dialog1c"></a><div class="mediaobject"><img src="pics/preferences-dialog1c.png"></div>

<p>The last tab is use to set the default format for numbers. This format will be used in any new table of matrix. If you check the <span class="emphasis"><em>Update...</em></span> option, the decimal separator of the numbers already present in tables will be modified.</p>
<div class="informalfigure">
