There are several ways to modify the display to your liking. First of all, you can select a different color scheme in the Settings->Color Schemes menu. There are three predefined color schemes, and you can define your own in the View Options window (covered in the next chapter). You can hide the Toolbars in the Settings->Toolbars menu, and hide the Info Boxes in the Settings->Info Boxes menu. In addition, you can manipulate the Info Boxes with the mouse. Each box has additional lines of data that are hidden by default. You can toggle whether these additional lines are visible by double-clicking a box to “shade” it. Also, you can reposition a box by dragging it with the mouse. When a box hits a window edge, it will “stick” to the edge when the window is resized.
The remaining customizations are covered in the next chapter.
