1 Overview

There are of number of options that can be used to customise a system. These options can be set a system or user levels.


The primary interface options are set at a system level only.

To setup or change these options go to system settings in System Access Management.

2.2 System Width

The system width can be used to change the width of the system.

This can be useful if the the screen size is rather small that the system will appear on.

This is just a number but is represented in pixels.

Try different widths to see the adjustments to the system.

  • 1060
  • 980
  • 750

The more space the system has the better it will look.

Ideally 1000 is the best width.


2.3 System Font Set

The font of a system can be set here.

bxp uses font families to represent its font but a single font can be used i.e. Tahoma or Calibri.

If a system font isn't set the default will be set as the following font family.

Montserrat, Calibri, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif

This list works as a fall back list so if the Montserrat font isn't available on the machine the the system will use the next font which is Calibri.

If Calibri is unavailable then the system will use Tahoma and so on.

It is good to have a few options available as some fonts can look poor on screen and the machines default font may be one of these.
