General Preferences

This tab allows you to alter the appearance of several on screen components that are
used throughout the program.

Windows Section
 Large local window menus: The title and items of the local menus are displayed in the

normal System font. If unchecked, a smaller font is used.

 Wide Playhead: A thicker playhead is used in all windows.
 Show Help Tags: This enables help tags throughout Logic Express. As the mouse

cursor hovers over parameters and tools, a small pop-up description (and/or value) of
the item will appear onscreen. When editing, the function name, region or event
name/number, position and parameter values are shown.

 Show default values: When enabled, this option will display default values for

parameters in help tags. This makes it easier to determine the amount of variance
from the default value.
