GUI-Settings

There are a couple of options available to change the appearance of Vide. The main instrument is thru java - LAFs (Look And Feel).

Vide uses the "tinylaf" package of Hans Bickel. The original thought was, to have a similar appearance of Vide on different OS.

But the package can also be used to build, change or enhance LAFs.

The following image contains nearly all features:

As a seperate lonely feature - the TAB size that is used within Vedi, is als configured here.

build a laf

In the background you see the configuration tab "Theme/Colors". On this tab you can:

• chose which tinylaf "theme" you would like to use

• go to the tinylaf theme editor

• and configure the colors of the syntax highlight for vedi

TinyLAF - Theme

Nearly all aspects of the gui can be altered with themes.

• colors

• shadows

• fonts

• sizes

• decorations

• ...

One aspect that does not immediately spring to mind is the above mentioned "sizes". Using different themes it is possible to increse/decrease with just a few clicks the font size of the entire vide application.

You are invited to experiment!

Note!
Size of the editor font is selected directly via the editor!

Example:

Smaller

Larger
