     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]). \\
     18  ''Advanced preference: `laf`''
    2119
    22 === Segment drawing options ===
    23  Draw Direction Arrows::
    24   Draw direction hints for way segments. \\
    25   Small arrows at the end of each segment show the direction in which it was drawn. \\
    26   With **Only on the head of a way** arrows are drawn only at the end of a way.
     20----
    2721
    28  Draw oneway arrows::
    29   Draw arrows in the direction of oneways and other directed features. \\
    30   For some ways that have direction dependent tags (like oneway) multiple oneway arrows can be drawn on the way.
     22[[Image(PreferencesDisplay.png,right,45%,link=,margin-left=10)]]
    3123
    32  Draw segment order numbers::
    33   Draw the order numbers of all segments within their way.
     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`''
    3427
    35  Draw segment order numbers on selected way::
    36   Draw the order numbers only for ways in the Selection.
    37 
    38 
    39 === Select and draw mode options ===
    40  Draw virtual nodes in select mode::
    41   Draw virtual nodes in select mode for easy way modification. \\
    42   Allows to add nodes by dragging the cross in the middle of each way segment in [wikitr:/Help/Action/Select Select] or [wikitr:/Help/Action/LassoMode Lasso] modes.
    43 
    44  Draw rubber-band helper line::
    45   A variable segment between the last set node and the mouse pointer is shown in [wikitr:/Help/Action/Draw Draw mode].
    46 
    47 
    48 === Options that affect drawing performance ===
    49 These options are only available in [wikitr:/Help/ExpertMode Expert mode].
    50 
    51  Smooth map graphics (antialiasing)::
    52   Apply antialiasing to the [wikitr:/Help/MapView map view] resulting in a smoother appearance.
    53 
    54  Smooth map graphics in wireframe mode (antialiasing)::
    55   Apply antialiasing to the map view in [wikitr:/Help/Action/WireframeToggle wireframe mode] resulting in a smoother appearance.
    56 
    57  Highlight target ways and nodes::
    58   Highlight target nodes and ways while drawing or selecting. \\
    59   Other objects glow when they are in the catch radius of the mouse pointer.
    60 
    61  Draw only outlines of areas::
    62   This option suppresses the filling of areas, overriding anything specified in the active [wikitr:/Styles styles].
    63 
    64  Hide labels while dragging the map::
    65   This option hides the textual labels of OSM objects while dragging the map.
    66 
    67 
    68 === Other options ===
    69  Draw boundaries of downloaded data::
    70   Draw the boundaries of data loaded from the server. \\
    71   When downloading an area you get and see all the data within the rectangular bounding box you chose.
    72   This includes some ways extending outside that box. 
    73   It therefore becomes difficult to distinguish which areas contain full or partial data. 
    74   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. 
    75   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. \\
    76   This option can be changed with [wikitr:/Help/Menu/View Draw boundaries of downloaded data] on the View menu, too.
    77 
    78  Draw inactive layers in other color::
    79   Draw the inactive data layers in a different color. \\
    80   Map objects not on the [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/LayerList#ActivateLayer Active data layer] are drawn in grey color.
    81 
    82  Display discardable keys::
    83   Display keys which have been deemed uninteresting to the point that they can be silently removed. ''**([wikitr:/Help/ExpertMode Expert mode] only)**'' \\
    84   They will be listed in light grey color in the Tags/Memberships panel.
    85   These [/ticket/8512 outdated keys] will be stripped off from modified objects on upload.
    86 
    87  Use auto filters::
    88   Display buttons to automatically filter numeric values of a predefined tag. \\
    89   [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/Filter#Autofilters Auto filters] can be enabled here and the tag to be used for the autofilter can be chosen.
    90 
    91  Rule::
    92   Rule defining which tag will provide automatic filters, below a certain zoom level.
    93

    96 
    97 == GPS Points == #GpsPoints
    98 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.
    99 
    100 You can cause lines to be drawn between raw GPS points.
    101 
    102 The size which GPS points are displayed in can be changed from standard to large.

    106 
    107 === Track and Point Coloring ===#TrackandPointColoring
    108 There are different ways to colorize gps-tracks.
    109 
    110 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:
    111 
    112 [[Image(velocity.png,600,link=)]]
    113 
    114 
    115 == Colors == #Colors
    116 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)
