Configuring the Display

This section is where you can configure 4Pane's appearance.

The 'Trees' sub-page contains things to do with the appearance of the trees on the panes.
First is tree indents. In a dir-view, subdirectories are indented compared to their parent. If a subdirectory itself has children, there will be an "expand" box within that indent. You can configure both the distance between the parent level and the expand box, and that between the expand box and the directory's name.

Then come several tick-boxes.


The 'Tree font' sub-page lets you can change the font used in the panes. Click the "Change" button to select a different font, which will be displayed in the adjacent box if valid. There's also a "Use Default" button.

The 'Misc' sub-page starts with a tick-box that specifies whether or not the current filepath is displayed in the toolbar. This is useful to have, partly to confirm what is currently selected, and as an alternative way of changing it (write in the desired filepath followed by Enter); but mostly because you can use Ctrl-C to Copy it, then paste into a different application. However if you don't want one, untick here.

The next tick-box lets you configure which icons to use in the toolbars: your theme's 'stock' ones wherever possible (e.g. for things like Copy and Undo), or the ones that 4Pane supplies.

The last two tick-boxes determine whether or not an "Are you Sure?" dialog pops up when you Delete or Trash a file. By default Delete does, Trash doesn't; but you can change this behaviour here. Below you can change which directory contains these cans.

Last come four buttons, which bring up the following dialogs:
