Settings

The Settings dialog is available both in the SVG Text Editor and in the Preview Panel of Windows Explorer. The settings are stored into the Settings.ini file, whose path is shown at the bottom of the dialog.

The pages of the dialog are: Text colors, Font, Theme, Preview and Updates.

Text colors

The colors of the XML syntax highlighting: for each element of the text (attribute names and values, comments, element names, symbols...) you can choose the foreground and background colors and the text attributes (bold, italic, underline, strikeout), with a preview of the result. You can also choose the color of the active line of the editor, or reset all the default colors.

Font

The font and the size of the text of the SVG file.

Theme

Theme: Same as Windows (Light or Dark, following the Windows settings), Force Dark or Force Light.

Selected Theme: the style of the application, among many Light and Dark styles (Windows11 Modern, Windows11 Impressive, Windows11 Polar, Windows10 and others), with a preview of the selected style.

Preview

• Google Skia (Skia4Delphi): the Skia graphic library by Google, through Skia4Delphi.

The other options of the page:
