The Interface tab of the Options dialog lets you adjust the parameters affecting the Filter Forge user interface. The Options dialog is accessible by choosing Tools > Options from the Main Window menu.
When turned on, the preview pane in the Main Window and the Filter Editor displays the name of the currently selected map over the rendered image, for example, 'Normal Map' or 'Diffuse Map'. If the Render Maps Menu is set to Off, the name is not shown. It is recommended to keep this option on, because the map caption may also contain grayscale and RGB information for solid-colored maps – see Render Maps Menu for more information.
When turned on, a notification is shown when the user attempts to save or apply a discrete filter with Seamless Tiling turned on to an image with a non-integer aspect ratio. This option applies to Texture filters only.
When turned on, a notification is shown when the user attempts to save or apply a discrete filter with Seamless Tiling turned on to an image with a non-integer aspect ratio. The option applies to Effect filters only and does not affect the message that appears in the preview pane over the rendered image, it affects only pop-up notifications.
When turned on, scrolling the mouse wheel down will zoom in, and scrolling up will zoom out. When turned off, the behavior is opposite. This option applies to all preview panes and the Filter Editor workspace.
Allows the user to configure the color and opacity of the preview border that outlines the tileable part of the image in the preview (both in the Main Window and in the Filter Editor) when Seamless Tiling and Show Border are turned on.
Switches between two styles of mouse scrolling in scrollboxes that have controls, such as the list of controls on the Settings tab when the controls don't fit on a single screen. When set to Scroll the scrollbox itself, the mouse wheel scrolls the list and doesn't affect the controls in it. When set to Adjust the controls in the scrollbox, the mouse wheel adjusts the control under the mouse cursor (for example, changes the position of a slider thumb), and if there's no control under the cursor, scrolls the scrollbox. This option only applies to cases when the control list doesn't fit on a single screen, otherwise the mouse wheel will affect the control under the cursor regardless of the selected option.
