General settings.

Tab Location: Indicates where the tabs that label the "Day View", "Entry", and "Custom" are located relative to the view itself. By default, the tabs are located at the top.

Date Navigator: This section deals with the calendar and Entry list.

•	Font: Choose the font that is used in the entry list.

•	Show Column and Row lines: draws the vertical and horizontal lines in the entry list.

•	Show most recent days at the top of list: determines to sorting order (date only) of the entry list. If you would like the most recent entries to be displayed at the top of the list so you don't have to scroll down all the time, check this option.

•	Start Collapsed: The DateNav list (on the left) is initially started with all the days collapsed if checked.

•	Calendar Font: Choose the font that the Month Calendar will use. This is particularly handy for users of non-english font sets.

•	Start of Week: Select if the month calendar in the DateNav shows Sunday or Monday as the first day of the week.

Load entries starting from date: Check this box and set the date in the date picker to a date in which you wish to load your entries from. When you start to use DayNotez over a period of years, it may be wise to limit the number of entries that DayNotez Desktop loads into the application. Setting this will allow it to only go "back so far" in what is loaded. This makes the user interface and loading time faster in many cases. Leaving this unchecked means that your entire journal is loaded each time, which may be fine if you have fewer entries.

Show progress dialog during synchronization with the handheld: Having this check tell the DayNotez conduit to display a progress box during a HotSync. It gives you a visual indication of your entries being synchronized back and forth between DayNotez Desktop and your handheld.
