Setting Interface Preferences

Working with Interface preferences gives you control over whether Photoshop displays or hides user interface features. You can change the user interface display by color theme or some elements by a selected color and border. For example, you can show the program window in four color themes in shades of gray or the Application icon in color or grayscale, show channels in color, or show selected menu items in user-defined colors. Interface preferences also allow you to use gestures with a tablet and pen, show descriptive labels when your cursor is placed over an option, automatically collapse icon panels when you click away, remember panel locations for the next use, and enable text drop shadows. You can also change the size of the text font on the Options bar, panels, and tool tips, restore all panels back to their default workspaces, as well as choose where to show transformation values.
