A series of default settings for the display of the user interface within SPRING is saved in an options file called "spring.opt". This is located in the directory (Windows 7 / 10 / 11):

C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\SPRING\Config

This path varies depending on the operating system or hard drive partitioning.

It is edited via the Preferences menu item in the Edit menu of the SPRING user interface. For each option, the file comprises of a row containing the option name followed by a colon. This is followed by at least one separator (space or tab) and the desired option value. The order of the options in the file is arbitrary. If an option appears more than once, the last occurring entry is used. Each row is interpreted, and comment rows must be specified by a "#" as the first character. However, when changing the options via the Preferences menu under SPRING Edit Preferences, the comment rows will not be saved!

When SPRING is started, the file is read and the settings are applied accordingly.

All possible initialization parameters are described in detail in chapter SPRING-menus – Edit menu – Options.
