Customizing Comic Collector
Screen Font
Use Ctrl-PLUS and Ctrl-MINUS to increase/decrease the main screen font size (or View / Font Size).Use Tools / Options / Screen Font to choose a completely different font.
Screen Layout
How about changing the way your main screen looks and flows?That's easy as pie...
- In the menu, choose View / Screen Layout
- Now choose one from the six available layouts
The Full Height Details is a nice one, it gives you more space to view the detail of the selected comic.
The Full Height Tree layout works well for most people though, which is why that one is selected as the "default" view.
Oh, I almost forgot: you can resize the individual panels too, just drag the dividers that separate them.
Templates
Most users like to customize the look of the comic details in the lower right. Here's how you do it:
- Right click the details panel and choose "Details View Template" from the popup-menu that appears. The menu will expand to show you the available layouts.
- Choose a layout and another sub-menu appears with the available styles for that layout.
- Now choose a style and the appearance of the comic details will change to your selected layout and style.
List Columns
Which columns are shown in the list is fully configurable. Just follow these steps:- Right click the column header of the list and choose Columns, then Choose Columns.
- In the Column Field Selection screen, use the checkboxes to decide which fields to show as columns. Check the ones you want, uncheck the ones you don't want, it's as simple as that.
- Change the order of the columns by dragging the field names up or down.
- When you're done, click OK.
