Customizing the Display

You can customize how TIBCO Designer displays panels and palettes. This section gives an overview of the most frequently used display preferences.

Display preferences and other preferences are saved when you exit TIBCO Designer, even if you do not save your project. Display preferences are maintained for each user, even if that user completely uninstalls the product and installs a different version.

To return to the default settings, choose Edit > Preferences and click Restore Default Settings.

Choosing Panel Layout

If you prefer to view either the project tree or the palette panel, but not both in the left panel, you can set TIBCO Designer to display the three-panel view shown in Figure 12. The view also uses drop downs, rather then tabs to access the project, global variables or palettes.
