<p>Haiku definește trei fonturi standard pentru scopuri diferite. Stabiliți tipuri și dimensiuni de font plan, aldin și fixat care vor fi utilizate în întreg sistemul. Pe lângă acestea, există de asemenea o configurare separată pentru fontul utilizat în meniuri.</p>
<p>Fonturile noi care nu vin ca parte a unui pachet .hpkg uzual, pot fi instalate prin copierea acestora într-un subdosar în funcție de tipul de font (<tt>psfonts</tt> sau <tt>ttfonts</tt>) în dosarul <tt>non-packaged</tt> respectiv (vedeți subiectul <ahref="../filesystem-layout.html">Filesystem layout</a>). Pentru fonturi TrueType ar fi:</p>
<tr><td><spanclass="path">/boot/home/config/non-packaged/data/fonts/ttfonts/</span></td><td></td><td>pentru fonturi disponibile doar pentru tine.</td></tr>
<p>In the <spanclass="menu">Colors</span> tab, you can change the colors of different parts of the user interface. The color well accepts drag & drops from other programs, letting you drag colors over from e.g. <spanclass="app">WonderBrush</span>, <spanclass="app">Icon-O-Matic</span> or the <spanclass="app">Backgrounds</span> panel.</p>
<p>Decorators determine the look and feel of windows and all GUI elements. Currently Haiku comes with only one default decorator. Should you find and install other decorators, you can choose a different one from the pop-up menu.</p>
<p>Haiku's default decorator lets you set the arrow style of the scroll bar: either single arrows at the end of scrollbars to conserve a bit of space, or double arrows — the traditional BeOS way — potentially saving some mouse moving when scrolling up and down or left and right...</p>
<p>An activated <spanclass="menu">Glyph hinting</span> aligns all letters in such a way that their vertical and horizontal edges rest exactly between two pixels. The result is a perfect contrast, especially when dealing with black on white. Text appears crisper. There's also a setting for <spanclass="menu">Monospaced fonts only</span> that's especially helpful with low resolution devices like netbooks. Small fonts can look pretty bad when hinting is turned on, but with this setting you still have the advantage of hinting for text editors and Terminal.</p>
<p>It should be pointed out that all the <spanclass="app">Magnify</span> windows on this page are of course rendered themselves with the different options as well. So, you get a real world impression of the settings by comparing, for example, the bold yellow tab title or the text "33 x 15 @ 8 pixels/pixel".</p>
<p>Another technique to improve rendering is <i>Antialiasing</i>, which supports all vector graphics as well as text. It smooths lines by changing the color of certain pixels. There are two methods for that:</p>
<p><spanclass="menu">Grayscale</span> changes the intensity of pixels at the edge.<br/>
<spanclass="menu">LCD subpixel</span> does an even better job, especially with (high resolution) LCD monitors. Instead of the intensity of a pixel, it changes its color which moves an edge by a fraction of a pixel, because LCD displays produce every pixel with a red, green and blue component.</p>
<p>Again, the two different methods with magnified screenshots:</p>
<p>Subpixel based antialiasing adds a slight colored shine to objects. Something not everyone tolerates. In Haiku you can mix the two antialiasing methods and find the right setting for you by using a slider.</p>
<divclass="box-info">The subpixel based antialiasing in combination with the glyph hinting is subject of a software patent and is therefore not available by default. Depending on where in the world you live, you may get an unlocked version. Sorry about that. Talk with your representative.</div>
<p>Dacă activați sugestiile și randarea subpixel LCD prin modificarea sursei și recompilare, iată cum arată în comparație cu sugestiile în scală de gri:</p>
<tr><td><spanclass="button">Implicit</span></td><td></td><td>resetează totul la valorile implicite.</td></tr>
<tr><td><spanclass="button">Revenire</span></td><td></td><td>aduce înapoi configurările care au fost active atunci cînd ați pornit preferințele Appearance.</td></tr>
