Appearance
Tools > Options > Appearance
The Appearance options define the colors and visibility of Rhino display items.
Language used for display
Sets the language used for the Rhino interface. You can select from the list of available languages.
Command prompt
These settings affect the appearance of the command prompt and the command history window.
Font
The text appearance.
-
Click to open the drop-down list, and type the initial letter of a font to find the font quickly.
-
Click the font control twice and scroll the mouse wheel to select a font with preview.
-
If a font used by an annotation is missing on the current system:
You will be prompted when the model is opened.
Enable the "Don't show this message again" checkbox in the warning dialog box to stop detecting missing fonts.
To re-enable missing font detection, enable Rhino.Warnings.MissingFontWarning in Rhino Options > Advanced.
The annotation displays with a substitute font in viewports.
The missing font is listed with "(not installed)" in the font list.
Text size
Sets the font size.
Background
Sets the background color.
Text color
Sets the color of the text.
Hover color
Sets the color that displays when the mouse hovers over an option at the command prompt.
Echo prompts to history
Allows the command prompt to move into a command history window after use. Turn this off to see only the command name in the history window and not the prompts.
Autocomplete commands
Turns on automatic command completion when typing at the command prompt.
Use fuzzy autocomplete
When enabled, in-line autocomplete suggests the most used candidate. For example, LI most likely autocompletes to Line rather than something like LimitReferenceModel, and the autocomplete menu contains best partial and inexact matches.
When disabled, autocomplete uses the first letters of the command name in an alphabetical list.
Direction arrow icon
Shaft size
Sets the length of the shaft for the arrows in the Dir command.
Arrowhead size
Sets the size of the arrowhead for the arrows in the Dir command.
