Gels Pool Settings

To open the Pool settings, tap MA in the top left corner. The Pool Settings pop-up opens.

  • Show Empty: This toggle button can hide or show empty pool objects.
  • Appearance: The appearance is applied behind the pool objects.
  • Pool Columns: This defines the width for the pool objects. It does not change the size of the window. It defines how many columns of pool objects are in the window. If the window is wider than the number of columns, then the extra space is displayed as black (default color). If the window is smaller than the number of columns, the pool window can be scrolled horizontally. If the pool has a set width, then there is an icon () in the upper right corner of the title field.
    The Not Defined value dynamically sets the width to match the window size even when the window is resized.
    The Take Current Width sets the width to match the current size of the window. It does not dynamically change if the window is resized.
  • Font Size: There are some different font size properties from 10 to 32. There is also a default property. This is the same as size 18. This simply changes the font size on the pool objects.
  • Pool Color: This is the color for the title button in the pool.
  • Empty Color: This color is applied to empty pool objects.
  • Reset Colors: This resets the colors to the colors in the default color theme.
