!Family Chapter 5. The preferences dbox

At present most of the configuration is done through menus. This will change to more resemble the dbox system used under Linux by X!Family. At present just one preferences dbox operates in !Family:

Misc config tab

These are X!Family screenshots, whih show the general style towards which the !Family UI is moving. Proper ones and some explanation for the RISC OS !Family preferences will follow soon, but as the interface is shortly going to change, I'm waiting to write a manual page until the interface has stabilised.

The first of the X!Family screenshots shows the tabbed version of the !Family miscellaneous preferences dbox. The !Family style will be tabbed like this, though the icons will be more as the RISC OS style above.

Misc config tab

The Names config tab will control how names are displayed on the main window and on printed trees. The X!Family screenshot shows what fields will appear, but again the style will be more RISC OS in !Family.

Names config tab

The dates config tab will control which dates are shown on the tree, and in which style.
