# Application Settings

Application settings are settings outside the scope of a project and will apply changes to the application itself.

Window Mode

Select the desired window Mode: Fullscreen, Windowed or Windowed Fullscreen.

Monitor

Select which connected monitor Oden should be in windowed fullscreen on.

Rendering mode

Selection of different projection matrices used to project the images onto different displays

Single Projection

Single display projection

Separate Projection

Multiple display projection where the input image is being projected onto multiple displays. **Contact Voysys for more information on how setup can be done optimally.**

Spanning Fullscreen

Used when multiple displays are connected and the input images needs to span the width of all the displays as one. **Adds more latency than exclusive fullscreen**

Cylindrical

May be beneficial if a very narrow display is used and needs a broad image is needed to be projected. **Should normally not be used unless in special circumstances.**

VSync

Screen tearing is a visual artifact in video display where a display device shows information from multiple frames in a single screen draw. Vertical synchronization (VSync) is an option which prevent the video card from doing anything visible to the display memory until after the monitor finishes its current refresh cycle.

MSAA

Multisample anti-aliasing (MSAA) is a type of spatial anti-aliasing, a technique used in computer graphics to remove artifacts in raster images. Works by simply rendering a scene at a higher resolution, and then downsampling to a lower-resolution output.

Scroll Mode

Select mouse or trackpad scrolling.

Mouse Inverted

Invert the input of the mouse when moving objects around in the 3D-engine.

Inhibit Mouse Look

If true, will inhibit the ability to move around in the view in 3D space with the mouse. This checkbox will not be effected if the inhibit\_mouse\_look function from a plugin is called.

GUI Color Mode

Select the color template for the gui.

Full Project Files

If disabled, default values will not be printed to the project file.

No Promt On Exit

Show no prompt when closing a project or exiting the program.

Only Show Exit Dialog

If enabled, when having the GUI hidden and closing the application with for instance "alt + F4" will result in that only the exit dialog will be shown and not the whole GUI.

Auto Template

Path to a .vtemplate file the will be applied to any project loaded.

Camera Calibration

Path to a folder containing .camera files. All files in the folder which ends with '.camera' will be loaded into Oden. The calibrations will be available in the dropdown menu under Calibration→Stored Calibrations→Calibration Presets, the name of the file will be the name in the dropdown menu. The path can contain environment variables, for example, %HOME%\\dev\\Cameras\\ is acceptable and will expand the HOME variable.

> **NOTE**
> The path must end with a slash, i.e C:\\dev\\Cameras\\

Shrink View When GUI Visible

When this setting is enabled, Oden will use the viewport that is visible to the user, and then when hiding the GUI object will move because the viewport gets larger. If this setting is disabled, Oden will use the whole window as a viewport even the area behind the GUI. This will make so the objects do not move around when hiding the GUI.

Keyboard Shortcuts

In Oden, there are a couple of keyboard shortcuts that can be remapped. Shortcuts combine a button and zero or more modifiers and the available modifiers are ctrl, shift, alt, and super. Modifiers can be stacked by selecting multiple. To disable a shortcut you can select a button called \[Inactive\] which will deactivate the shortcut.
