Visual Settings
The EDI Enhanced menu option is an added enhancement to the functionality of InStar. The visual settings allow for customizing some visual aspects of InStar and remembers those settings for each computer based on the user code. This window is in response to users moving to Windows 10 and some visual aspects making the program difficult to use.
Help Bar and Tips
- Help Bar – A bar on the bottom of the screen to display help message when available. Recommended; Turn this off. Objects within the program will display tips as needed.
- Style 97 – Recommended to leave this on. On older operating systems this setting will affect certain visual aspects of buttons and other objects. On the newer operating systems this setting will have no effect. * the program will need to be restarted if a change is made to this setting.
