### Step 4: Customize the User Interface

You can fully customize the colors, fonts, toolbars, and status bars of the PC-DMIS user interface to work optimally with your Leica Laser Tracker. Changing the following interface elements may prove helpful when measuring features at a distance from your computer monitor.

- Fonts: Select the Edit | Preferences | Fonts menu item to change the fonts and font sizes for PC-DMIS.

- Background: Select the Edit | Graphics Window Display | Screen Color menu item to alter the background color of the Graphics Display Window.

- Menus: Select the View | Toolbars | Customize menu item, and select the Use Large Menus option from the Menu tab for large menus.

- Toolbars: Select the View | Toolbars | Customize menu item, and select the Use Large Toolbars option from the Menu tab for large toolbars.

- Status Bar: Select the View | Status Bar | Large menu item for large status bar.

- Tracker Status Bar: Select the View | Status Bar | Tracker menu item to toggle the display of the Tracker Status Bar.

Note: The above settings are pre-configured and installed for the tracker interface.

Creating Customized Toolbars

Toolbars can be customized and exchanged between PC-DMIS installations. The toolbar.dat file is found in the <PC-DMIS Install Directory>/<user name> directory. Copy the toolbar.dat file to the other PC-DMIS installation to make the custom toolbars available. The default toolbars for Leica trackers are discussed in the "Tracker Toolbars" topic.

Customizing Open GL Settings

Adapt the Open GL settings for the solid view mode as required by the installed video card. To do this, select the Edit | Preferences | OpenGL menu item and make adjustments as explained in the "Changing OpenGL Options" topic in the Core PC-DMIS documentation.
