Configuring the Graphical Environment from the Desktop

Using the Preferences Editor

You can easily tailor the Graphical Environment to suit your needs using the Preferences Editor. To run the Preferences Editor, double-click on the Preferences Editor icon, located in the Controls window.

In the Preferences Editor window, double-click on the icon that corresponds to the part of the Graphical Environment's appearance or behavior that you want to configure.

NOTE: If you only want to change aspects of a particular desktop or directory window, use the Options menu in that window's menu bar.

Some of the icons in the Preferences Editor window launch applications that control various aspects of the Graphical Environment, while others display dialog boxes from which you can make configuration selections.
