Preferences
Preferences window provides access to
VNCRobot configuration.
To open the Preferences window select Edit
-> Preferences in the VNCRobot menu. Some VNCRobot components
also provide a quick access to their configuration in context menus, for
example customized command editor
popup menus or status bar popup menu.

Preferences are currently divided into three different categories:
- Appearance & Accessibility - configuration of VNCRobot GUI
components like
- Scripting - configuration of the script execution behavior andÂ
- Tools - configuration of some core components like
Configuration of each component is usually discussed in its help page.
Configuration Files
Template file of user preferences DefaultConfiguration.properties
is packed in the com/vncrobot
folder of the vncrobot.jar
file. It defines all supported options and their default values.
VNCRobot stores all customized options to a file called config.properties
in the user home directory. All changes done in the Preferences window
will be saved to this file. You may also edit the file manually but be
sure to follow the syntax and provide meaningful values. Not all of them
are properly validated and an incorrect value may even crash the
application.
