Options: settings, theme and language

6 min readStudio interface

The Studio settings window, the light / dark theme, the 3D view, the interface language, the interface scale and where these settings are stored.

The own settings of Studio (theme, language, interface scale, author name, backup interval) are independent of the project: they stay the same whichever project you open. The settings are collected in the Options›Settings… window and in the Options menu.

Studio settings window

Author: The name suggested for the Author field in new projects; it is also recorded as the person who saved the revision when uploading to Live. If empty, the Windows user name is used.
Project folder: The default location of new projects. If empty, FabyaVision Projeleri under the Documents folder is used. Browse… opens the folder selection window.
Automatic backup: Interval in minutes; 0 is off, maximum 1440. While there are unsaved changes, a copy is written at this interval to the Yedek subfolder in the project's folder; at most 20 backups are kept. No backup is made if the project has not been saved yet or has not changed since the last backup. The default is 10 minutes. Revision and backup
Theme: Eight themes: Light, Dark, Ocean, Sand, Forest, Midnight Blue, Graphite, High Contrast (see below).
Language: Türkçe, English, Español, Deutsch, Italiano or Français; the flag of each language is shown next to it. This is the language of the interface. English is selected on first start; your choice is kept for later starts.
UI scale: 80%, 90%, 100% (normal), 110%, 125% or 150%. The whole interface (text, icons, spacing) is enlarged or reduced by this ratio.
3D look: The Raised buttons and panels switch. In this interface it has very little effect (see below).

Save applies and stores the values; Cancel changes nothing. Selections made from the menu (theme, language, scale, 3D view), however, are applied and stored immediately.

Options menu: settings, theme (submenu), 3D view, language and scale.

Light and dark theme

It can be changed in three ways: the theme button at the right of the title bar (a sun icon in the light family, a moon icon in the dark family; clicking it opens the theme list), the Options›Theme submenu or the Theme list in the settings window. The selected theme is marked with ✓ in the list. The change is visible immediately and remembered at the next start; because Studio applies the theme before the first paint at startup, the screen does not flash by switching from the light theme to the dark one.

The list opened by the theme button; on the right, the window buttons.

The themes are divided into two families; the family determines the layout of the panels, the theme determines the colors:

Family	Themes	View
On	Light, Ocean, Sand, Forest	The panels are separate islands with rounded corners and a thin gap between them on a light background.
Dark	Dark, Midnight Blue, Graphite, High Contrast	“Control room” look: the panels are adjacent, with a 1-pixel line between them, and the corners are square.

Portal view in the dark theme; the theme button is in the title bar.

The theme changes only the Studio interface. The colors of the objects and backgrounds you draw on screens and the fonts of the objects are not affected by the theme. The interface font is Inter; it ships with the product and does not need to be installed on the computer.

3D look

This option switches the raised (shadowed) drawing of Studio buttons and panels on and off: Options›3D look (when it is on, ✓ appears in front of it) or the switch in the settings window. The default is on. It has nothing to do with the 3D scenes in screens; the image quality of the scenes in Live is under Live settings › Object appearance.

UI language

Options›Language or the settings window changes the language of the interface; the selection is applied immediately and stored.

The supported languages are Türkçe (source language), English, Español, Deutsch, Italiano and Français; the flag of each is shown next to it. English is used on first start.
Translation affects only the appearance: menus, buttons, tooltips and window texts are translated; project data (screen and object texts, tag, connection and group names), texts in the code area and text columns in tables do not change.
Texts that have no equivalent in the dictionary remain in Turkish.
This manual is also available in the same six languages: the Help menu and F1 open the manual in the language of the interface; the menu and button names in the manual are the same as in the interface.
This setting is not the language the operator sees in Live: the languages of the screens are defined in the Languages and texts section, and the startup language of Live is defined in Live settings (Languages and texts).

UI scale

Under Options›UI scale (font size), select a value between % 80 – % 150. The scale is applied as the zoom factor of WebView2: texts, icons and spacing grow together. It is independent of the canvas zoom in the screen editor (Zoom) and does not disturb the screen coordinates. If the text stays small on a high-resolution display, increase the scale.

Where settings are stored

What	Where
Theme, language, scale, author, project folder, automatic backup interval, 3D view, 3D library placement model, recent projects, last upload folder	The `studio_ayarlar.json` file in the Studio folder
Panel widths, column orders, splitter bars, expanded / collapsed states of the Toolbox groups	On this computer, in the WebView2 profile of Studio (`%LOCALAPPDATA%\FabyaVision_Studio\WebView2`)

The settings file must be writable; the installation opens this file to users with write permission (Installation). If it cannot be written, the settings are not persistent and the line studio_ayarlar.json yazilamadi is added to the log (Log files).
If the file is deleted or corrupted, Studio opens with the defaults.
To move the settings when switching to another computer, you can copy the file studio_ayarlar.json; the layout information in the WebView2 profile is not transferred.
