Configuration
Nearly every aspect of Sue Center can be altered - fonts, heights, widths, letters and short words. Normally, very few of these need to be changed from the default. This is done by the able-bodied helper of the user not the user themselves. The user can control the colors and the sounds but not the many things listed below.

It is recommended that you make changes in small increments and test the results after each change. If you make changes to the fonts or the heights/widths you will need to also adjust the window sizes and positioning after launching the program. These sizes and positions will be remembered when you exit the program.

Be sure that Sue Center itself is not running while doing the configurations below.

Start the configuration program with Start => Programs => Sue Center => Sue Center Configuration. The dialog looks like this:

At the top are 8 tabs:

At the bottom there are two buttons for when you're done:

Hopefully the labels on the dialog are self-explanatory but here we provide further explanation in case it might help.

Popups     

Popups have a complex and very special format. If you really do need to add or modify a popup the 5 examples below should be studied carefully.

Each popup consists of series of tokens ending with a double slash. The first 6 tokens are as follows:

  1. A single letter. It is referenced in the Letters section by appending an exclamation point.
  2. This is displayed in the letters area replacing the single letter.
  3. How many columns in the popup?
  4. Normally this is "single" meaning that only one item is chosen after which the popup is popped down. Otherwise it is a token that will appear later to indicate the popup is done. See the digits popup.
  5. COMMANDS or LETTERS - indicating which font and color scheme to use when displaying the tokens. If COMMANDS then the token will be executed rather than inserted into the message area.
  6. A word to be spoken if "Speak on Choosing" is set when the popup is popped up.
Following these 6 tokens come a series of tokens that will appear in the popup. The end of the series is indicated by a double slash. There are a few special rules: Finally, here are the default popups:
