Activating Manager Windows with the Mouse
Sets the delay with which a Manger window will be made active once the cursor has been placed over
it (without clicking!). Any available keyboard shortcuts will also be available once a given Manager
window is active:
“Shortcut” active: immediately
“Shortcut” deactivated: once the Manager window is active
If “Delay” has been deactivated, you must click on the Manager you want in order to activate it.
Shortcut
If this option is active, the Manager under the cursor will be activated when a keyboard shortcut is
entered. This saves you from having to click on the given Manager with your mouse.
If this option has been deactivated, the shortcuts for the Manager that was last used will apply,
independent of the cursor’s position.
Menus
Here you choose whether, in addition to the normal command descriptions for menu items, CINEMA 4D
displays icons (Show Icons enabled) and/or keyboard short-cuts (Show Short-cuts option enabled).
Look & Feel
In this part of the dialog you can modify the look and feel of the program’s interface.
Fonts
The font changes will be effective only after you quit and restart
CINEMA 4D.
Choose the font used by CINEMA 4D for displaying text in menus, dialogs, etc. Choose the font type
from the drop-down list and click the F button. In the dialog that opens, choose the font and its size.
Clicking the R button reverts to your active system font.
Delays
If you are a Windows user you may have noticed that windows and menus open much faster in
CINEMA 4D than on your desktop. You can use the options under Delays to simulate this delayed
reaction for various actions within CINEMA 4D. Choose the action from the drop-down list. Set the
delay for this action in the text box to the right.
