The settings are classified in Main, Glass windows, Energy,
Surface and Misc and they are accessible in their specific tab:

interface language used by VEGA ZZ. The Language field could be

Checking Enable the glass windows,
all windows appears transparent allowing to see the below layers. This
option requires Windows 2000 or greater to work properly. With the above
releases it doesn't have any effect. The Max. alpha slider sets the
transparency (alpha bending) when the windows are active (0 = full
transparent, 255 = full opaque). The Min. alpha slider sets the
transparency when the windows aren't active (the windows don't receive the
input focus). The Open alpha slider sets the starting transparency
when a new window is open and the Fade time slider sets the time in
ms for the animated fade-in and fade-out operations. |
