This tab allows the user to enter information about the user and his or her preferences. This information will be preserved from session to session in a location that is dependent on your operating system. The following information may be entered.

You may purchase your registration code at our Kagi store.

AutoSave Interval

Move the slider to the desired interval at which any unsaved changes will be saved to disk. Setting a value of zero will turn off the AutoSave feature.

Sel to Item Tab

This drop-down menu allows you to specify whether you want to be transferred to the Item Tab when you Select (by clicking on) an item on the List Tab. The default is Yes. If you specify No, then clicking on an Item will select the Item, but leave you on the current Tab.

Look and Feel

Depending on your platform, you may be able to choose between two or more different looks for your Two Due interface. Select one from the drop-down menu. You may need to quit Two Due and then re-launch it in order for your interface change(s) to take effect.

Appearance

If you are running on Mac OS X, then you may choose the "brushed metal" look for Two Due, instead of the normal appearance. You may need to quit Two Due and then re-launch it in order for your interface change(s) to take effect.

Menu Location

If you are running on Mac OS X, then you may choose to have your menu at the top of your application Window (Windows style) or at the top of your screen (Mac style). You may need to quit Two Due and then re-launch it in order for your interface change(s) to take effect.

Line Endings

Text files may use different characters to indicate ends of lines, usually depending on the operating system platform. Windows style line endings are a carriage return followed by a line feed. Old-style Mac line endings simple carriage returns. Unix, and newer-style Mac line endings are simple line feeds. Two Due will normally default to the appropriate line endings depending on the platform you are running on. However, there may be cases in which you want to generate line endings for a different platform. In particular, some current versions of Mac applications, including AppleWorks, seem to only understand traditional or "classic" Mac line endings. You may choose the desired line endings for output files that are saved or generated from templates using this drop-down menu. Your changes here will take effect immediately.

File Chooser

If you are running on Mac OS X, then you may choose between Swing or AWT file choosers. AWT will produce file chooser dialogs, in some cases, that may look more "native" than the equivalent Swing dialogs. However the AWT file chooser has more limited functionality, so even if you choose AWT, some of the dialogs you see may be Swing dialogs. You may need to quit Two Due and then re-launch it in order for your interface change(s) to take effect.

Rotate Font

You may select the font that you wish to see on the Rotate Tab. The sample text block below will show you the appearance of the font and other options that you have selected.

Rotate Font Size

Use the slider to adjust the size of the type that appears on the Rotate Tab.

Sample Text

Rotate Every

Indicate how often, in seconds, you want an item to remain displayed on the Rotate Tab before the next item is displayed.

Rotate Method

Choose the rotation sequence.

Linear - simply rotates from one item to the next in the list, based on the sort sequence you have specified on the View Tab.
Random - rotates in a random sequence.
Random, Weighted - rotates at random, but with some items tending to appear more often than others, with the priority and due date fields determining the average frequency of appearance. In other words, items of higher priority, and due sooner (or overdue) will appear more often than other items.
