Clicking on the Preferences link on the Parallels Power Panel left menu opens the Parallels Power Panel interface configuration page where you can set a number of parameters related to the Parallels Power Panel interface. The options provided on the Configure page are the following:
Option |
Description |
Interface Language |
As Parallels Power Panel is localized into a number of languages, this drop-down menu lets you choose the default interface language for Parallels Power Panel. This setting affects the language of both your current Parallels Power Panel session, and all future sessions if User Default is chosen as the interface language on the Parallels Power Panel login screen. |
Local Time Zone |
This setting affects the date and time information found on such Parallels Power Panel pages as Status Changes, Resource Alerts, Actions Log. Choose the time zone you wish to apply when viewing different kinds of logs. |
GUI Elements Style |
This setting is effective for different types of GUI elements found on different screens. You may choose a visual mode for them, a textual mode, or a combination of both. |
Interface Skin |
Here you may choose a suitable interface skin for your Parallels Power Panel interface. The skin affects such elements as the Parallels Power Panel general layout (framed or non-framed), icons and images, and the color palette. |
Status Bar Refresh |
This setting affects the refreshing period of the status bar located at the top of any Parallels Power Panel page (see Parallels Power Panel Interface Overview). If you select the Smart Update option, the status bar will be refreshed only when you follow Parallels Power Panel links, but not more than once per 60 seconds. If this option is disabled, it means that the chosen interface skin does not use frames; therefore, it is impossible to reload only part of the page. |
Contact Email |
This field should be filled in with a correct email address to enable the functionality of restoring the password, should the current user forget it. This email address pertains to the current user only; other Parallels Power Panel users of the given Container may fill in this field with other addresses. The link for restoring the password is located on the Parallels Power Panel login page. |
After you decide on the suitable configuration and press the Submit button, the settings will be remembered for the current browser only. If you change the browser or move to another computer for working with Parallels Power Panel, the default settings will be used until you perform a new customization.
