Customizing the Display

The Display dialog box displays whenever you choose the Display command from the Options menu (Alt + O, D). It allows you to select options which determine how TuxTime displays information on your screen.

The Show All Batteries Status check box is displayed on all tabs. It is active only when a secondary battery is installed in the Selectable Bay. If you have selected its check box, each remaining battery charge as the selected modules (except a time remaining) will be displayed with the total battery status.

Each of the Display options are contained on a separate tab. To select a tab, simply click the pointing device on the desired tab title across the top of the dialog box or use the Tab key until the first tab is highlighted, then use the Arrow keys to move to the desired tab.

Whenever you select the Display command, MaxTime is automatically displayed directly beneath the Display dialog box. As you make selections on the Display tabs, the changes are immediately displayed on MaxTime so you can preview your selections prior to saving them. When you close the Display dialog box MaxTime reverts back to its prior screen location.

The following options are available for customizing the MaxTime display:

Style	Set how you want the MaxTime Window displayed: Normally, On Top, or on the Title Bar. When you select the On Title Bar option, you can then choose the positioning method along the Title Bar. You can also select the size the of MaxTime title bar and menu bar: Regular, Mini or None.
Modules	Select the format to display MaxTime information: Bargraph, percentage or time remaining.
Size	Select a MaxTime Window size: Small or Large.

TIP: Select the desired options from each tab on the Display dialog box before selecting the OK button.
