CUI Main Configuration Editor

CUI could be considered to be made up of eight areas of the screen. Seven of those are may be configured here. The eighth area is the desktop which is the largest area and is where applications run. The desktop area is not configured but rather holds running programs.

The sever areas you may configure are:

See the main CUI help information for details on these areas.

Each of these areas may be turned off permanently using the check box in this display. Checking this box means that this area is available within CUI. Not checking it means that this area is not available at all.

If you want an area to temporarily go away but want it to return at a later time, the menu bar "Options" selection is a better way to handle this case. This menu bar menu allows you to temporarily set an area visible or invisible. This configuration editor is intended to be a more permanent way of controlling this.

Five of these areas have their display controlled by a configuration file. A "Browse" button is supplied to assist in locating a configuration file. Eventually there will be editors to assist in constructing these configuration files. For now they must be built by hand.

For areas which have a configuration file, setting that area to be available with the check box checked, but with no configuration file specified is valid. But this is not necessarily useful since nothing can be displayed for such an area since there's nothing to configure it.
