Option Description
Site Color This alters the site color line at the bottom of the IDE and stand-alone GUIs. Click Site Color to open the Site Color dialog box.
Site Color Bar Size Alters the site color bar size.
Site Description Use to specify comments. For example, if you are working on a particular site and must tell others that the site is locked by another person and is unavailable until a certain date.

After specifying a site description, an icon displays on the status bar. Clicking the icon switches the text.

Master Site Select from the menu the master site for the currently open site.

For one site, you can select only one master site. You cannot select multiple master sites in the Site Preferences dialog box.

When a master site is set in Site Preferences and a master site is also set in Root Preferences, the Site Preferences setting has higher priority and takes effect.

When no master site is set in Site Preferences, the master site setting in Root Preferences is used.
