Configure Global Display Settings

Use the Display page in the CSM Administrator System Settings window to configure Global Display settings for Multiple Monitors and Desktop Client Application Skin.

Multiple Monitors

Specify where to open/restore CSM Application windows after they are closed (if there are multiple monitors):

  • Original Monitor

    Window opens in the same location on the same monitor where it was last closed.

  • Application Main Window Monitor

    Window opens in the same location on the same monitor as the application Main window (the upper-left of the main application is the control point if the application straddles multiple monitors).

  • Mouse Pointer Monitor

    Window opens in the same location on the same monitor as the mouse pointer. This option only differs from the Application Main Window Monitor option when the User uses the keyboard to open windows in CSM, and the mouse pointer is located on a different monitor from the one where the application Main window is located. For example, if you have the CSM Main application on monitor 2, but bring up the One-Step Action Manager and drag it to monitor 1, when you edit an existing One-Step Action, the Manager will appear on monitor 1, even though the main application is still on monitor 2.

    This setting applies to all CSM databases (example: CSM Administrator) on your current computer. Windows that always open fully on the screen are not governed by these changes. If a window is too large to physically fit on the monitor, it will be snapped to the left and/or top edges depending on if it is too big in just one or both dimensions. You might notice this if you consistently drags windows partially off of the screen and expect them to open that way the next time.

Application Skin

Select a default application skin from the Skin list to control the appearance of the Desktop Client and Administrator Client shells. Options are Cherwell Light (default), Cherwell Blue, or Cherwell Dark.

The skin selected affects all Users by default. However, Users can change the application skin in the Desktop Client, which only affects their personal interface.
Users may need to close and reopen the Administrator Client for this change to take effect in that client.

Web Appearance

You can choose to display form controls with right-angled or rounded corners.
