General Preferences

General preferences affect behavior of the application itself as well as things that affect multiple windows.

Save password in Keychain

When you connect to GridGammon, you must supply a GridGammon nickname and password in the Connect window. If you check this preference, GridGammon will store the password associated with the nickname in your OS X Keychain so that you don't have to type it each time. If it is not checked, you will need to supply the password every time you log in to GridGammon.

Automatically log in when you launch GridGammon

Normally when you launch GridGammon Backgammon, you are presented with the Connect window. If you always log in with the same GridGammon nickname, you can check this preference to bypass this and connect automatically as soon as GridGammon is launched.

This option is only valid if you have checked Save password in Keychain, since the automatic login must have access to your password.

Show shouts in Lobby and/or Board chat

Shout messages are broadcast to all players regardless of whether they are playing, watching, or just hanging out in the Lobby. Normally shout messages appear in the Lobby window's chat, but you can also have shout messages display in the Board window's chat if you wish. The default behavior is to show shout messages only in the Lobby.

Emote prefix

This string appears before emote messages in the Lobby window. Most players just use the default value "->", but you can set it to whatever you wish.
