Page «Glass Profiles»
The Glass
Profiles settings enable you to control the appearance and functionality of
the Glass tool (default Glass position, contrast). You can save a group of
settings as a custom Glass Profile and invoke that Profile as needed. For
example, you may have one Profile you use when working with graphics, and
another for use with text-based applications. Many users will probably have
just one Glass Profile, but you can create as many as you need.
MG Pro ships with one Glass Profile called Default. The Default Glass Profile cannot be deleted, but you can make a copy of
it (Add new...), give it a new name,
and customize it for your needs.
To view the settings for a Glass
Profile, choose the Profile from the drop down list at the top of the page. The
corresponding settings are displayed on the three sub-pages below: Basic
options, Advanced options, and Effects. Select the
Glass Preview check box in the lower right area of the page to view the results
of your settings any time. Deselect that check box to toggle the preview off.
To modify an existing Profile, edit the settings then
click Save and Close to
save your changes. Your changes are also saved automatically if you select a
different Profile from the drop-down list.
To create a new Profile using an existing Profile as a
template, open the existing Profile then use Add new to
save a copy of that Profile with a new name. Edit the new Profile, as needed,
and save (click Save and Close)
when you are done.
In any case, to discard your changes, cancel the
dialog. Any previously unsaved changes are lost."
WARNING: When you save a
Glass Profile, the name must follow standard Windows naming conventions.
Therefore, the name cannot contain characters such as: / \ | *
? “ > <.
To change between saved Glass Profiles,
right-click the Magnifying Glass Pro icon in your Windows tool tray, highlight Switch to Profile on the pop-up menu,
and choose the Profile to use from the list that comes up. You can also switch
Profiles when working in Command mode.
WARNING: Some Glass
Profile settings may require more system resources than others. The field
labels for those settings are followed by the words (CPU max). If you find that
your system resources are being pushed to their limit, try adjusting or
disabling any CPU max settings in the Profile you are using.
The individual Glass Profile settings are described
below.
