The ComPact online configuration menus are used to selectively change several variable settings directly from the GUI. Currently there are five menus, which we will describe in the following subsections. Before that we will explain the general use of the menus.
The bottom half of the ComPact configuration screen offers you the possibility to configure directly almost all of the variables that control the appearance and behaviour of Elego ComPact. All the variables are offered as texts, though they may be interpreted internally as integers, real numbers, or boolean values ("yes|no"). The special value "(undefined)" is used to ignore variables that should not be saved in the environment file.
If you press the Enter button, the variables of the current frame are set in the current session according to the given values. This may or may not have an immediate effect, depending on the use of the variable inside ComPact.
All the configuration variables may be saved in the compact-env-rc file, which is read at the begin of every session right after the central configruation file compactrc. Settings contained in compact-env-rc override those in compactrc. The compact-env-rc file is optional, it is only created or changed when the button Save in the header section of the page is pressed.
