Other settings

There are various options in the "Settings" menu to alter AppletPainter's presentation.

Changing the look and feel

Java supports a number of look and feels. AppletPainter allows the user to switch between the standard cross-platform look and feel (sometimes known as "Metal"), and the native system look and feel (eg.the Windows look and feel on a computer running Windows, or the Mac L&F on Mac).

The aimated logo

In addition, the animated logo may be turned off which may be a good thing to do on a very slow machine to save resources or if it annoys you. It may also cause the cursor to flicker on a PC.

Reloading all defaults

AppletPainter remembers settings between options. This menu option resets everthing to the way it was when AppletPainter was started for the first time. It automatically shuts AppletPainter down. When the user restarts the program the default settings will be returned.
