Changes

You can customize the [[EM.Cube]] Desktop to your liking in a number of ways and . Fro example, you can change its view mode temporarily, change the background color of your project workspace, and display or drawing hide the grid. These functions can be accessed either through the '''View Menu''' or '''View Toolbar''' or through the '''"Preferences Dialog''' " of '''the Edit Menu'''. You , which can turn any toolbar on or off, show or hide the '''Navigation Tree''' and '''Status Bar''' opened using the entries at the top of View Menu (i.e. menu item '''Menu > View > ToolbarsEdit → Preferences...''', '''Menu > View > Navigation Tree''' and '''Menu > View > Status Bar'''). FurthermoreIn general, the changes you can drag make through the handle menus and toolbars are valid during the session of your project, while the Navigation Tree or any toolbar changes you make in the preferences dialog are permanent and drop them anywhere within are written to the project workspaceWindows registry. That means your changes persist the next time you open the [[EM.Cube]] application.

=== Changing the Environment Colors === The default background color of the main window is black, but it can easily be changed through '''Menu > Edit > Preferences...''' or using from the keyboard shortcut "Ctrl+H"preferences dialog. Select the '''Colors''' tab of the Preferences Dialog this dialog and click the button labeled "'''Color" ''' next to '''Background'''. A color selection window pops up. We suggest staying with the default light-gray , where you can pick a new background color since it contrasts best with the default color maps of data visualization. Another global color in [[EM.Cube]] is the "Selection Color"selection color. When you select an object, its color turns to the selection color. When you hover your mouse-over on an objectwithout clicking (called the mouse-over state), it becomes transparent translucent with a shade of the selection color. You can snap to the characteristic points of objects (e.g. vertices, edge midpoints, face centers, etc.). These snap points appear in the complementary color of the selection color. By default, [[EM.Cube]]'s selection color is bright yellow. You , which can also change the selection color be changed from the '''Colors''' tab of the Preferences Dialogpreferences dialog.
