Application options¶

Windows appearance¶

Version 6 supports high-resolution displays and Windows scaling. With multiple monitors, also check moving the application between displays that use different scale factors.

In application settings, choose System, Light or Dark. System follows the Windows app mode; an explicit selection overrides it for Zeta Test Management.

Dark mode covers dialogs, HTML overviews and text editors. It controls appearance and is intended not to add document colors when editing. Semantic status colors and explicitly formatted content retain their meaning.

The application options differ from the project settings that are valid for all users of one project and from the personal project settings that are valid for one user of one project, inasmuch as they are independent of a project and are valid for all projects.

By default, the application options are stored per workstation and per user so that each user can configure his or her options independently of other users.

By using the application configuration file "zetatest.dll.config" in the applications folder, you control where the program options are stored. By using this mechanism you can for example arrange for a user to always get the same application options, no matter from which workstation he or she logs in.

Defining the storage location¶

To define the storage location, follow these steps:

1. Open the application configuration file of Zeta Test named "zetatest.dll.config" located in the application’s installation folder with a text editor, e.g. the Windows editor "Notepad".
2. Below the XML element "configuration/appSettings" insert the following entry:<add key= "alternativeSettingsFolderPath" value="PathToOptionsFolder" />
3. Restart Zeta Test

"PathToOptionsFolder" is the relative or absolute path to the desired folder. Or you can use placeholders. An example would be: "${SpecialFolder.ExecutingAssembly}..\Settings\".

Create the destination folder before restarting. If it does not exist, the application uses its usual settings folder. Non-empty values from an additional JSON configuration override XML appSettings.
