Configuring Miscellaneous Options in General Settings

## Configuring Miscellaneous Options in General Settings |

The following miscellaneous options are configurable:

- Look and feel
  The look and feel of JProfiler can be chosen as one of
  - Alloy look and feel
    Alloy look and feel is a cross-platform look and feel which is developed by Incors GmbH. This is the default setting on Linux/Unix.
  - Java look and feel
    Standard cross platform look and feel. Use this look and feel if you use JProfiler through a VNC client or similar and want to reduce the transmitted data.
  - Native look and feel
    Native look and feel on your platform. This is the default setting on Windows and Mac OS X.

  When you switch to a different look and feel, you have to restart JProfiler for the new setting to take effect.

  Note: This setting is not available on Mac OS X.

- Tool bar icons
  Tool bar icons in the main window and the script editor can be large with text, large without text or small. This setting can also be changed by right-clicking the tool bar in a location without buttons.
- Hidden messages
  Warning messages can be disabled by clicking the Don't show this dialog again checkbox in the warning dialog. To enable selected warning messages again, click the "Configure Hidden Messages" button.
- Window sizes
  By default, JProfiler remembers the sizes of important windows. You can disable this feature or clear the cache of stored window sizes.
- External source viewer

  The external source viewer command allows you to redirect all view source requests from the JProfiler GUI to an external application. You can use the variables $FILE and $LINE to reference the file and line number to be shown.

  If you leave the text box empty, JProfiler will use its internal source viewer to show Java source code. When JProfiler is started from an IDE integration, the source code is always shown in the IDE itself.
