In SALOME you can set preferences for each module in the common editor of preferences. SALOME preferences refer to the whole GUI SALOME session, other preferences are module-specific and are accessible only after you load a respective module. It is possible to set preferences for Geometry, Mesh and Post-Pro modules.
Font and color preferences dialogs are often called from other Preferences dialogs.
When you change settings (click OK or Apply button) each module receives the notification about what preferences are changed. You can also click Defaults button to restore default preferences or Close button to quit the menu without any changes.
Import button allows to load a user file containing preferences from your home directory through a standard Import dialog box.
This file has no extension and by default starts with .SalomeApprc. followed by Salome version number. There exists one file for each Salome version in use.
The preferences, set during the current study session, are automatically saved in this file at the end of the session. Next time you launch SALOME application, these preferences will be restored.
