You can modify the following settings:
• Look and Feel (Windows only)—The color scheme of the GUI. You must restart the PTC RV&S client for this change to take effect.
• Popup Delay (ms)—The time in milliseconds before the status of a command appears. The default value is 2500 for the GUI and 0 for the CLI.
• Max Messages Displayed—The maximum messages to be displayed in the PTC RV&S Client Status Details window. The default value is 4000. You can set this preference to any value between 0 and 100000.
• Exit On Close—Determines whether the PTC RV&S client is completely shut down when the using Close Window command or the close icon in the upper-right corner of the window. When not enabled, the PTC RV&S client window closes, but the PTC RV&S client continues to run in the background. By default, this option is not enabled.
• Enable System Tray Icon (Windows only)—When selected, a PTC RV&S client icon appears in the Windows notification area (also known as the system tray). You can perform some basic commands by right-clicking this icon. This option is enabled by default.
• This PTC RV&S client will respond to PTC RV&S URL links. (Windows only)—When selected, this PTC RV&S client is used to open PTC RV&S client URL links. For detailed information on the PTC RV&S client views that you can open from within email notifications and other supported options, see PTC RV&S Client URL Links.
If multiple PTC RV&S client installations are present on a single machine, by default, this option is enabled by default on the last installation only.
When PTC RV&S client URL links are enabled on another PTC RV&S client, a note displays the full path of that PTC RV&S client installation. If you select this option for the current client, the option is automatically disabled on the other PTC RV&S client installation.
• Maximum heap size—The maximum amount of memory reserved for the PTC RV&S client. The default value is 1024. The minimum value is 5, and the maximum value depends on your available system memory.

Changing the heap size setting may unfavorably affect the performance of the PTC RV&S client and your system. Consult your administrator before making changes.
