View Invisible Preferences

Some Spaz preferences can’t be changed through Spaz itself; hence, “invisible” preferences. This is because some preferences are new, experimental, or seldom used by most people. However they can be changed, if you wish.

Preferences are stored in a file called preferences.json. To update invisible preferences, open this file, change the required preference(s), then save and close it. This must be done while Spaz isn’t running.

To easily find preferences.json:

• go to the Preferences screen in Spaz;
• at the bottom is a link named “Open Prefs Folder”;
• click this link; it should open in a browser window;
• the info in the browser window shows you exactly where preferences.json is stored.

If you do wish to edit preferences.json please be aware of the following:

• don’t change the format of the information. Each preference is formatted like this: "preference":value with a comma (,) in between each one. Don’t introduce spaces or other characters between the commas, quotes or colons.
• don’t put line breaks in the file.
• changing the file may cause Spaz to act strangely. If you choose to update, you’re on your own.

OK, that aside — here’s some invisible preferences you might like to change:
