Smooth scrolling

Scroll the UI smoothly, pixel-by-pixel, instead of line-by-line.

This also enables animated smooth scrolling for Windows and Linux by default. You can disable it to use precise scrolling instead: press Ctrl+Shift+A, find and open the Smooth Scroll Options dialog, and disable the Animated smooth scrolling checkbox.

In this dialog, you can also set the duration of the scroll animation and change the appearance of the animation based on https://cubic-bezier.com/#.17,.67,.83,.67.

Background Image…

Configure a custom background image for the IDE.

IDE

Select which antialising mode you want to apply to the IDE (including menus, tool windows, and so on):

• Subpixel: this option is recommended for LCD displays and takes advantage of the fact that each pixel on a color LCD is composed of red, green and blue sub-pixels. This allows smoothing text and rendering it with greater detail.

• Greyscale: this option is recommended for non-LCD displays or displays positioned vertically. It deals with text at the pixel level.

• No antialiasing: this option can be used for displays with high resolution, where non-antialiased fonts are rendered faster and may look better.

Editor

Select which antialiasing mode you want to apply to the editor:

• Subpixel: this option is recommended for LCD displays and takes advantage of the fact that each pixel on a color LCD is composed of red, green and blue sub-pixels. This allows smoothing text and rendering it with greater detail.

• Greyscale: this option is recommended for non-LCD displays or displays positioned vertically. It deals with text at the pixel level.

• No antialiasing: this option can be used for displays with high resolution, where non-antialiased fonts are rendered faster and may look better.

Show tool window bars

Show the tool window bars around the edges of the main window.

Show tool window numbers

Show tool window quick-access numbers on the tool window buttons.

You can hold the Alt key and press the corresponding number key to switch tool windows regardless of this setting: Alt+1 for the Project tool window, and so on.
