Default Settings


Is it possible to change the default settings? For example, when I use Cinderella on a smart-board my students have trouble seeing with the gray background so I change it to white. Is there a way to save that so that each time I open Cinderella the background is white? I'd also like to change the highlight, & selection colors, and I'd like to make the default point size smaller. Thanks so much!

glancya,

yes - this is (partly) possible. You have to check the "save defaults" setting in the Inspector. This should save the defaults you set in the inspector. However, I don't remember whether this also remembers the view background color. If it does not, you can do it directly by adding the line

cinderella.defaults.background=255,255,255

to your cinderella2-user.properties file (or cinderella2-global.properties, if you want to have the change for all users in the network).

The corresponding keys for highlight and selection color are

cinderella.defaults.selectionColor and
cinderella.defaults.highlightColor

The point size is handled using the "save default" mechanism. Just change the default point size in the inspector and make sure you checked "save defaults".

HTH,

Ulli
