Windows Options Tab

If you are not familiar with the purpose or use of the configuration dialogs, review the main configuration dialogs topic before continuing. If you need more details about a particular option, see the Initialization directive related to that option.

In the Display section:

The ScreenRows and ScreenColumns fields set the TCI window size at startup. (They will be overridden by a /S:n,n startup option.)

The Standard, Max, Min, and Custom radio buttons select the initial state for the TCI window and set the WindowState directive.

The X, Y, Width, and Height fields set the initial size and position of the TCI window and set the WindowX, WindowY, WindowWidth, and WindowHeight directives. They are ignored unless the Custom radio button is also selected.

The Minimize to Tray option sets the Tray directive (minimizing TCI to the system tray instead of the task bar).

The Update TCI Title option sets the TCI title bar to "TCI: " + the title of the current tab.

The Transparency field sets the transparency level for the TCI window.

In the Window Configuration section:

Enable Toolbar sets the tool bar mode at startup and the ToolBarOn directive. The Font Size field sets the point size of tool bar text and the ToolBarText directive. The tool bar will only be visible if you have defined one or more tool bar buttons.

Enable Statusbar sets the status bar mode at startup and the StatusBarOn directive. The Font Size field sets the point size of status bar text and the StatusBarText directive.

In the Console section:

Console Mouse enables or disables the mouse cursor for the console sessions. You can also set it in each tab with the "Edit/Console Mouse" menu entry.

Console Alt-Key enables or disables the Alt key for console sessions. You can also set ConsoleAltKey in each tab with the "Edit/Console Alt Key" menu entry.

Buffer Rows sets the number of rows in the console screen buffer. The range is 100 to 20,000.

In the Cursor section:

The Arrow and I-Beam radio buttons let you select the type of cursor which will use and also set the IBeamCursor directive.

Console Font:

The Console Font button opens a standard Windows font dialog that lets you select the font, point size, and font style for the TCI display. Font information is stored in a separate section of the TCI.INI file; therefore, the font option does not have a corresponding directive.

Miscellaneous:

The Single Instance option restricts TCI to a single instance. (If you try to start another copy of TCI, the previous instance will be brought to the foreground.)

The Update Environment on Change option causes TCI to monitor the WM_SETTINGCHANGE message and update the environment from the User, Volatile, and System registry entries.
