      Note: Apart from the available Light, Classic Light, Dark, Contrast Dark, and Gray interface themes, ONLYOFFICE editors can now be customized with your own color theme. Please follow these instructions to learn how you can do that.

  8. The Default zoom value option is used to set the default zoom value, selecting it in the list of available options from 50% to 500%. You can also choose the Fit to Page, Fit to Width, or Last Used option.

    The Last used option refers to the last set scaling value during the current session.

  9. The Font hinting option is used to select how fonts are displayed in the Presentation Editor.
    • Choose As Windows if you like the way fonts are usually displayed on Windows, i.e. using Windows font hinting.
    • Choose As OS X if you like the way fonts are usually displayed on a Mac, i.e. without any font hinting at all.
    • Choose Native if you want your text to be displayed with the hinting embedded into font files.
    • Default cache mode - used to select the cache mode for the font characters. It’s not recommended to switch it without any reason. It can be helpful in some cases only, for example, when the Google Chrome browser has problems with the enabled hardware acceleration.

      The Presentation Editor has two cache modes:

      1. In the first cache mode, each letter is cached as a separate picture.
      2. In the second cache mode, a picture of a certain size is selected where letters are placed dynamically and a mechanism of allocating/removing memory in this picture is also implemented. If there is not enough memory, a second picture is created, etc.

      The Default cache mode setting applies two above-mentioned cache modes separately for different browsers:

      • When the Default cache mode setting is enabled, Internet Explorer (v. 9, 10, 11) uses the second cache mode, other browsers use the first cache mode.
      • When the Default cache mode setting is disabled, Internet Explorer (v. 9, 10, 11) uses the first cache mode, other browsers use the second cache mode.
  10. The Macros settings option is used to set macros display with a notification.
    • Choose Disable All to disable all macros within the presentation.
    • Choose Show notification to receive notifications about macros within the presentation.
    • Choose Enable all to automatically run all macros within the presentation.

The changes are saved as you go.
