with ALT allows moving editor tabs, tool window buttons, �les and
pressed only folders in the Project Tool Window, using drag-n-drop.
Select this checkbox to avoid accidental moving of a �le or
folder, or a UI component. Thus drag-n-drop only works
while ALT key is pressed.

Tooltip initial Use this slider to specify the time to pass between the
delay (ms) moment you hover the mouse over an item in the editor and
the moment when the tooltip with its value appears. This
settings is especially important during debugging. If the delay
is too short using the mouse becomes inconvenient because
every mouse move across the screen brings forward a
number of tooltips with the values of all the variables.

Option Description

IDE From this drop-down list, select which antialising mode you
want to apply to the IDE (including menus, tool windows,
etc.):
– Subpixel: this option is recommended for LCD displays
and takes advantage of the fact that each pixel on a
colour 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.

want to apply to the Editor:
