   * **Language** can be switched by inputting the corresponding two-letter acronym (**en** for English, **ru** for Russian, **es** for Spanish, **pl** for Polish). More languages will be added to myCNC software in the near future. If a native speaker desires to aid the localization process, the myCNC team will provide the user with the myCNC translation .xls file
   * **Theme** can be switched by specifying the path to the folder containing all the images for a given theme. This folder should be located in opt/myCNC/art/buttons-no-theme.
-  * **Buttons skin** field specifies the folder from which the icon frames are taken. This folder should be located in myCNC/art/buttons-no-theme/THEMENAME and the field is using the **rect** folder by default.

   * **Style** can be specified via a [name].style (x.style by default) file which can be found in .config/myCNC/profiles/PROFILENAME. Note that the stylesheet should only be changed when strictly necessary as it allows to edit the entire myCNC layout throughout the application. More information about the styling used in the x.style sheet can be found at the [[https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/stylesheet.html|Qt Style Sheet Wiki]]

 The colours config window allows the user to customize the visuals of the myCNC application. In this window, presets such as the dark grey and the dark blue themes can be preloaded, or customized completely from the ground up. When the user is satisfied with their particular theme, they can export it by using the Export Colors to File button.

+The visualisation color settings allow the user to specify the colors that will be used in the program visualization for each of the tools in the program code. This allows the user to set each tool to an easily distinguishable color:
+{{:mycnc:2019-08-26-colours.png}}
+  * Tool Number specifies the particular tool assigned to the color
+  * Width specifies the 2D width line, alpha specifies the 3D opacity (0 for transparent, 255 for opaque).
+  * Highlights are currently supported for 2D profiles only (such as plasma), and allow the user to highlight a certain tool path by clicking upon it.

 The height map window specifies the axes to log, the log header, the format string, and the file name for the map.
+The height map is typically utilized for the per-job height probing described in the [[mycnc:height_mapping|3D Height Mapping manual]]. It is necessary to change the filepath to include the correct username for the machine (for example, /home/USERNAME/heights.map) as opposed to the default username specified in myCNC software (sk/mycnc/etc).
+The height map file will be then saved as heights.map.raw file with an array of XYZ points stored in it to create a height map of the working surface through triangulation.
