Settings

The Settings window holds the app settings: preferences that apply to this device, independent of the project file. Every change is applied and saved immediately — there is no OK button. Scheduling options that change the calculated schedule live with the project instead — see Project Information.

Opening — three entrances, same content

• The gear (⚙) in the title bar.
• Settings (ribbon tab) → ribbon group Project → Settings.
• File → Settings (Backstage).

All three show exactly the same settings, spread over three tabs: General, Language and Timeline / Zoom.

General tab

• Theme — Dark, Light or High Contrast; click a card to switch.
• Document switch style — how you switch between open documents: Horizontal tabs, Vertical tabs or Pill.
• Date format — dd-mm-yyyy, mm-dd-yyyy or yyyy-mm-dd. Display only; files and calculations are unaffected.
• Version — the app's version number (read-only).
• Updates — Check for updates opens the update window. Installing updates only works in the desktop app; Snap and AppImage installs update through their own channel.
• Default zoom — the default zoom level (read-only, 30 px/day).
• Debug terminal — Enable debug terminal shows the log panel for troubleshooting.
• Project information... — shortcut to the Project Information window.
• Tour — Start tour replays the introductory tour. The same restart also sits on the View ribbon tab → Tour and in the Backstage (File → Start tour).

Language tab

• Language — the app's display language; fourteen languages, applied immediately.

Timeline / Zoom tab

• Hour planning — Enable hour planning turns on hour/minute scheduling: an hour time-scale, shifts with working-time bands and hour-precise task bars. Off ⇒ the app stays fully day-granular. With the switch on, Allow mixed day/hour planning appears (day and hour tasks in one project). If you open a file that contains hour planning while the switch is off, a bar at the top offers Enable hour planning. See Calendars & hour planning.
• Duration display — Automatic (native unit per task), Always days or Always hours.
• Task bars at interruptions — Never split, Split when selected or Always split: whether a bar visually splits around non-working days.
• Week starts on — Monday or Sunday (week layout of the time scale).
• Show quarter-hours when zoomed in far — extra quarter-hour gradation on the hour time-scale.
• Calculation — Calculate automatically recalculates the schedule as soon as it becomes out of date, instead of waiting for F5.
• Scroll & zoom — Mode:
• Position — the cursor's position determines the scroll direction; with Screen division (Left/right, Top/bottom or Top-right corner). Ctrl+scroll = zoom, Shift+scroll = horizontal.
• Keys — assign which control (Scroll, Ctrl + scroll, Shift + scroll) gets which function (Vertical, Horizontal, Zoom) by dragging the chips; dropping on an occupied slot swaps the controls.
• Zoom + drag — the scroll wheel zooms (anchored on the cursor); drag the chart background to pan the view.
