Simba settings
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
The Simba settings form can be used to modify the settings. These options vary
|
|
from how often Simba will check for an update to whether the tray icon is
|
|
displayed at all times.
|
|
|
|
Settings can be changed by going to the menu *Tools* menu and the
|
|
selecting the *Settings* option.
|
|
|
|
If you at any time have serious problems with Simba not behaving it as you
|
|
expect it should and you changed something in the settings, you could try
|
|
closing Simba and deleting ``settings.xml``. Simba will create one with
|
|
default settings if it does not exist.
