  2. Use the Application Language drop-down to select the language used in TMXEditor graphical user interface.
    Changes to the application language will take effect after you restart the program.
  3. Use the Theme drop-down to select the colors used in the graphical user interface. Available options are:
    • System Default: automatically selects Dark or Light colors according to the preferences set in the operating system.
    • Dark: Uses dark background with white text.
    • Light: Uses light grey background with dark text.
    • High Contrast: Dark theme with enhanced contrast.
  4. Select the number of spaces used to indent XML elements in the TMX file using the Indentation selector.
    Note: Indentation helps in visually understanding the structure of an XML file when viewing it as plain text but is not required for processing TMX files with translation tools.
  5. Select the Set 'changeid' / 'changedate' Attributes checkbox if you want to enable the registration of the user who last modified an item or file and the date the change was made.
  6. Click the Save Preferences button to save and activate selected settings.

Results

Theme changes are applied immediately. Changing the application language requires a restart. Memory usage settings are applied when a new TMX file is opened. Indentation is applied the next time a file is saved.
