Designer Window Editing Properties

These options affect the operation of the Designer as it applies to the Vision module's window design.

Default Color Mapping

The color mapping defined here will be the initial color mapping when configuring a new number-to-color property binding.

Default Component Layout

The layout constraints specified here will be the layout constraints used for all newly added components. If you wanted to effectively "disable" relative layout, you would change this setting to Anchored with the North and West anchors selected. Learn more in the Component Layout section.

Component Manipulation

These options affect how the user interface to manipulate components acts. Altering the handle opacity can be helpful when dealing with lots of very small components, so that you can see through the resize handles to align the component perfectly.

Component Bounds

Disabling the constraint on parent bounds allows you to position components outside of their parents bounds, which can be helpful in advanced layouts.

Window Committing

By default, every time you close a window, you are prompted whether or not you wish to commit the window. Choosing "yes" will serialize the window and mark its project resource dirty, so that next time you save the project the window will be updated. Choosing "no" will effectively revert all changes to the last time the window was committed. This option allows you to skip the commit prompt, opting to always commit the window on close.
