General
The General settings portion of Zooom/2 allows you to control when the application starts and how it is presented on screen.
Start at Logon
Check this option to have Zooom/2 start automatically when you log in every time. Checking this option simply causes a LoginItem to be written into your user preferences.
This LoginItem is user specific, and each user must set this individually.
You can confirm that a login
item has been added to your preferences by viewing the
Accounts Preference pane in system preferences, and then
selecting the 'Login Items' tab - an example is shown
below.
Show
information overlay
This option allows you to show either a small
semi-transparent window next to the mouse cursor that
contains the current action related to the shortcut key or
a larger semi-transparent window situated in the center
lower portion of the display.
Show
application icon in dock
Zooom/2 can run as a normal Application, or you can choose
to hide its Dock icon by checking this option box. When
checking this option, you will need at least administrator
rights, and Zooom/2 will need to be restarted (it prompts
you for all this stuff anyway).
Show menu in
status-bar
Zooom/2 can show a status bar menu, when the
'Show Zooom/2 status in status bar' menu item is checked.
This serves the purpose of letting you know immediately
that it's running, and also allows you to easily quit the
application. The status bar shows up as a small 'Z' in the
menu bar at the top of your screen, as shown below.
