Updated July 17, 2025 15:40

Users can change the display settings of OASIS Desktop to adjust the appearance of text and tables. This article will define the available display settings.

Note: Display settings are specific to each user. Your changes will not affect the display settings for other OASIS users.

Locating Display Settings

1. Navigate to the Home page.

2. Click File, then select Preferences.

3. The Home Preferences window will appear.

4. Click the Display tab. There are four sections:

Adjust System Font Size

The System Font Size (Main Font Size setting) will change the font size for page names, menu names, field labels, and column headings. It will also increase the overall text and window size of the OASIS Desktop login screen.

It will not change text on the Home page, tables (such as bills of materials), and listings (such as search results).

Example

The screenshots below compare the differences between the default Main Font Size (2) and a slightly larger Main Font Size (5).

Main font size set to 2 (default):

Main font size set to 5 (larger):

Home Screen Font Size

The Home Screen Font Size (Font Size setting) adjusts the font size for text on the Home page. This does not include the section navigation buttons across the top or the search fields across the bottom.

Example

Overall 'Look and Feel'

The Look and Feel setting changes the overall design of OASIS Desktop.

Caution: The only recommended setting is Metal. Please do not change this setting.

Tables and Listings

The Tables and Listings settings change the appearance of tables and listings, including the alternating row colors (read-only and editable), font style, font family, and font size. This will affect features such as bills of materials, search results, and page listings.
