Selecting Change Settings opens a dialog which allows the GUIquotes options to be changed.
The Quote Mode setting allows the order in which the quotes are shown when the program is run to be changed.
Single File
For a single quote file the quotes can either be selected randomly or sequentially. For the sequential case the quotes are shown in the order they are in the quotes file and when the last quote is reached it starts over at the beginning again.
Multiple Files
For 2 or more quote file the quotes there are a number of ways the order of the quotes can be shown.
The Quote Display setting allows optional information about a quote to be displayed. In addition to the quote a line can be added to display the file name the quote came from and the quote number in that file.
The file name is to make it clear where the quote is from when there are multiple quote files. This must be selected before the quote is displayed. For how to see which file the quote came from while it is displayed see the Menus: Actions Quote Information section.
The quote number is the count of the quote in the quote file where the first quote is 1, the second is 2, etc. This was used during development of the program and was left as an option if anyone wants to see it.
Background Color
Clicking the Change Color button opens a dialog which allows the color of the background of the window the quotes are displayed in to be changed. The color is shown in the box to the left of the Change Color button and will show up in the quotes background for the next quote. The default color the first time GUIquotes is run is white.
Quote Font
Clicking the Change Font button opens a dialog which allows the font used to display the quote text to be changed. The font is shown in the box to the left of the Change Font button and will show up in the quotes text for the next quote.
This will load the program settings used when the program is first run. This will remove any changes that have been made to the settings. It will also reset the counts for the sequential quote modes. Normally it is not necessary to load the defaults but might be needed if something happens to the file the settings are stored in.
