    10 == GPS Points == #GpsPoints
    11 Settings to do with the display of GPS Points. These settings control the display of track points if you use JOSM with GPS traces loaded in from a local file, or everybody's trackpoints downloaded from the OpenStreetMap server.
     9Some settings are only displayed in [wikitr:/Help/ExpertMode expert mode].

    13 You can cause lines to be drawn between raw GPS points.

    15 The size which GPS points are displayed in can be changed from standard to large.
     16 Look and Feel::
     17  You can choose the overall theme, the default options are: **`Metal`, `Nimbus`, `CDE / Motif`, `GTK+`, `Windows`, `Windows Classic`**. Via the plugin FlatLaf more options are available including ''dark modes'' (since JOSM version [/changeset/16974/josm 16974]). \\

    21 There are different ways to colorize gps-tracks.
     24 Show splash screen at startup::
     25  The splash screen shows the loading of the modules and plugins when JOSM starts up. \\
     26  ''Advance preference: `draw.splashscreen`''
    2227
    23 When choosing one of Velocity, Direction or Dilution of Position, a legend is displayed in the top right corner of the map view if the gpx-layer is the current [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/LayerList#LayerButtons active layer]. Example:
     28  When ready, JOSM shows an informative welcome page with current news.
     29  This [wikitr:/StartupPage Startup page] cannot be suppressed.

     31 Show user name in title::
     32  A name entered in the Connection Settings is displayed in the Title bar above the Main menu. \\
     33  ''Advance preference: `draw.show-user`''

    27 == OSM Data == #OsmData
    28 Settings to do with map data layers shown in JOSM (ways/nodes etc)
     35 Show object ID in selection lists::
     36  Additional to an objects name its [wikitr:/Help/Concepts/Object#ObjectId unique id] is shown in lists of objects. \\
     37  ''Advance preference: `osm-primitives.showid`''
    2938
    30 You can cause an arrow to be drawn at the end of each segment, to show the direction in which the segment was drawn.  You can also choose to have that arrow drawn only at the end of the way instead.  Also, for some ways that have direction dependent tags (like oneway) oneway arrows can be shown.
     39 Show object version in selection lists::
     40  Additionally the objects version number is shown in lists of objects like the [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/SelectionList Selection panel]. \\
     41  ''Advance preference: `osm-primitives.showversion`''
    3142
    32 You can choose to show the boundary of downloaded data.  When downloading an area you get and see all the data within the rectangular bounding box you chose. This includes complete ways extending outside that box.  It therefore becomes difficult to distinguish which areas contain full or partial data.  If you check the "Draw boundaries of downloaded data" box, yellow hatching is drawn over all the areas into which data has not been fully downloaded.  You should avoid adding or editing data in areas of yellow hatching as it may duplicate already existing data or conflict with data you don't see.
     43 Show node coordinates in selection lists::
     44  Additionally shows for nodes their coordinates.\\
     45  ''Advance preference: `osm-primitives.showcoor`''
    3346
    34 You can choose to display inactive layers in a different color.
     47 Show localized name in selection lists::   
     48  Show localized name in selection lists, if available. ''**([wikitr:/Help/ExpertMode Expert mode] only)**''\\
     49  ''Advance preference: `osm-primitives.localize-name`''
    3550
    36 In addition to these, the option to switch from "wireframe" to "paint" view can be found on the 'View' menu
     51 Modeless working (Potlatch style)::
     52  Do not require to switch modes (potlatch style workflow). ''**([wikitr:/Help/ExpertMode Expert mode] only)**'' \\

     56  This option modifies the click behavior when editing. It transits between modes in a more automatic way, similar to the online flash editor Potlatch. \\

    38 [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/Filter#Autofilters Auto filters] can be enabled here and the key to be used for the autofilter can be chosen.

    42 == Colors == #Colors
    43 Color choices. These largely relate to display of OSM data layers too.  You can change the color scheme for the display of nodes, ways, background, etc.  "Paint style" options all relate to the non-wireframe view ('View' menu option)
     65 Prefer showing information for selected objects::
     66  Always show information for selected objects when something is selected instead of the hovered object.\\
     67  ''Advance preference: `propertiesdialog.preview-on-hover.always-show-selected`''
    4468
    45 [[Image(colors.png,400px)]]
     69 Dynamic buttons in side menus::
     70  Display buttons in right side menus only when mouse is inside the element.\\
     71  ''Advance preference: `dialog.dynamic.buttons`''
    4672
    47 == Look and Feel == #LookAndFeel
    48 Some overall look and feel options
     73 Display ISO dates::
     74  Format dates according to ''ISO 8601''. Today's date will be displayed as YYYY-MM-DD instead of ''your local date format''.\\
     75  ''Advance preference: `iso.dates`''

    51 * You can choose the overall theme, current options are : Metal, CDE / Motif, Windows, Windows Classic.
    52 * The [Modeless Working] option modifies the click behavior when editing. It transits between modes in a more automatic way, similar to the online flash editor Potlatch.

     81 Use native file choosers (nicer, but do not support file filters)::
     82  Use file choosers that behave more like native ones. They look nicer but do not support some features like file filters.\\
     83  ''Advance preference: `use.native.file.dialog`''
     84
     85 Reverse zoom with mouse wheel::
     86  Check if you feel opposite direction more convenient.\\
     87  ''Advance preference: `zoom.reverse-wheel`''
     88
     89 Intermediate steps between native resolutions::
     90  Divide intervals between native resolution levels to smaller steps if they are much larger than zoom ratio. ''**([wikitr:/Help/ExpertMode Expert mode] only)**''\\
     91  ''Advance preference: `zoom.intermediate-steps`''
     92
     93 Zoom steps to get double scale::
     94  Higher value means more steps needed, therefore zoom steps will be smaller.\\
     95  ''Advance preference: `zoom.ratio`''
