Display Options
Display 3D Keys - Check this option On to enable the display of the shaded, three-dimensional look keys. For resolutions of 256 colors or less, it is recommended that this option be set Off. My-T-Soft TS checks the current display capabilities when started, and may override this option. Note that the 3D keys are only displayed for sizes 8 or higher (the smaller sizes do not have enough displayed pixels to effectively render the 3-D look).
Show & Hide Keys
This opens My-T-Soft TS in a special mode that allows keys on the main keyboard panel to be hidden. This is useful for controlled applications where certain keys or key combinations need to be unavailable - for example, hiding the Alt key makes Alt-F4 impossible. To hide a key, click on the key - My-T-Soft TS will be repainted without the key just selected. To re-display a hidden key, click on the space where the key normally would appear, and the key will be shown again. To Save the current setting, click on OK . Select CANCEL to ignore any changes. Select Reset to Show All Keys on My-T-Soft TS.
My-T-Soft TS Logon Utilities
In order to logon onto Windows & obtain access to Network resources, the appropriate logon configuration is required within Windows. There are various options available in My-T-Soft TS to display & interact with the logon requirements. This opens the appropriate configuration options for the Windows platform running. See My-T-Soft TS Logon Utilities for more information.
Note: In general, when you make changes within My-T-Soft TS Setup, the changes are immediate and reflected by My-T-Soft TS. However, some display option combinations may require a restart of My-T-Soft TS for proper display. The logon options typically require a restart of Windows.
