##### Preferences Dialogue Box

The Preferences Dialogue Box has 2 tabs:

- General Settings - This page allows you to set the time display format to a common format type. The normal Windows locale settings are not used as these are limited to the nearest second and some times displayed by the TimeLord are more accurate than this. (Note that dates and times in DateTimePicker components will NOT display in this new format until the application is re-started, this is a limitation of these .NET components) Also on this page is the option to activate (or not) the splash screen and also to set the boundary dates for the Time Decoder utility.
- Report Settings - Allows the setting of fonts and the tab-point in reports.
