=== Customizing Your Desktop ===
You can customize the [[EM.Cube]] Desktop to your liking in a number of ways. Fro example, you can change its view mode temporarily, change the background color of your project workspace, and display or 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, which can opened using the menu item '''Edit → Preferences...'''. In general, the changes you make through the menus and toolbars are valid during the session of your project, while the changes you make in the preferences dialog are permanent and are written to the Windows registry. That means your changes persist the next time you open the [[EM.Cube]] application.
Using a number of menu items at the top of the View Menu, you can turn all the individual toolbars on or off, and show or hide the navigation tree and status bar. Furthermore, you can drag the handle of the navigation tree, Python command window or any of the toolbars and drop them anywhere within the project workspace.
