Customization
The following visual
aspects of the eCos Configuration Tool can be changed to suit
individual preferences. These aspects are saved on a per-user basis,
so that when the eCos Configuration Tool is next invoked by the same
user, the appearance will be as set in the previous session.
Window Placement
The relative sizes of all
windows in the eCos Configuration Tool may be adjusted by dragging
the splitter bars that separate the windows. The chosen sizes will be
used the next time the eCos Configuration Tool is invoked by the
current user.
All windows except the
Configuration Window may be shown or hidden by using the commands
under the View menu (for example, View
Output
) or the corresponding keyboard accelerators ( Alt+1 to Alt+5 ). By
default the conflicts window is hidden.
Your chosen set of
windows (and their relative sizes) will be preserved between
invocations of the eCos Configuration Tool.
Toolbar
Select View
Toolbar to toggle the toolbar on and off.
Settings
To change other visual
aspects, select View
Settings and then select the Display and View tabs depending on the
settings you wish to alter. The options are as follows:
Settings: Display tab
- Labels
-
In the configuration window, you can
choose to have either descriptive names
(the default) or macro names displayed as
tree item labels. Descriptive names are generally more
comprehensible, but macro names are used in some contexts such as
conflict resolution and may be directly related to the source code
of the configuration. Note that it is possible to search for an item
in the configuration view by selecting Edit
Find (see Searching
).
-
Integer items
-
You can choose to have integer items in the Configuration Window
displayed in decimal or hexadecimal format.
-
Font
-
Change the font for a particular window by selecting the window name
using the drop-down list, then clicking on Change Font to select a
font for that window. The changes will be applied when the press OK
to dismiss the Settings dialog. If you never make font changes, then
the windows will take the default setting determined by your current
Windows or Unix environment.

appear as the application is loading. Uncheck this to eliminate the
