## Preferences

The preferences dialog box is opened from the Options menu. It allows the user to customize the Hugin user interface. Figure 1 and figure 2 shows the preferences dialog box with each of the two tabs chosen.

Figure 1: The preferences dialog box with the General Options tab chosen

In the General Options tab (figure 1) there are two groups of controls. In the first group (the General Options group), you can specify how many files you want to be shown in the recently used files list in the File menu. Below, you can specify if and how often you want to autosave. You can also specify different sound effects and if you want shadows behind the nodes in the network pane.

In the second group (the Drawing Pane group) you can specify how sensible you want the mouse to act in the edit mode network pane (the drawing pane).

In the Belief Bar Colors tab (figure 2) you can change the default colors for belief, finding, inconsistency, likelihood, and locked findings used in the node list pane and the monitor windows.

Figure 3 shows the color select dialog window which appears when you click any of the buttons in the Belief Bar Colors tab.
