File Menu - project-owner/Peppy.doc GitHub Wiki

It's possible to adjust the file menu appearance and behavior by adjusting different properties in the file.browser section of the config/txt file:

[file.browser]
...
hide.folder.name = False
image.area = 18
image.size = 90
image.size.without.label = 96
icon.size = 60
padding = 2
rows = 5
columns = 2
alignment = left
sort.by.type = False
wrap.lines = False
horizontal.layout = True
font.height = 38

The same properties can be changed using the Configuration Web UI:

The following images show the meaning of the dimension properties.

The rest properties will be explained in the following sections.
