This preference pane lets you control the overall appearance of the main window.
Name Display: You can change the way names are displayed in the 'Author' column and in the lower preview pane of the main browser window (in Details view).
Words to ignore for sorting: In the table, you can add a custom set of words, such as 'the' and 'a', that will be ignored when sorting the table.
Fonts: Choose the interface element for which you want to change the font. Pressing the font button to the right will call the system's font panel, from which you can change the font for the selected element. You can also change the fonts directly from the interface elements themselves. Call the font panel using "View > Show Fonts" in the main menu, or from the contextual menu of the interface element.
Preview: You can limit the maximal number of items to be shown in text previews in the bottom and side preview pane. Generating the preview can be slow when many items are chosen.
