User Guide - Kaspersky Lab

ADVANCED OPTIONS 269
All colors, fonts, icons, and text used in the Kaspersky Internet Security
interface are configurable. Customized skins may be created for the
application. The application itself may be localized in another language.
To plug in a skin, enter the directory containing its description in
Directory with skin descriptions. Use the Browse button to select a
directory.
• Degree of transparency of popup messages.
All Kaspersky Internet Security operations that must immediately reach
you or require you to make a decision are presented as popup messages
above the system tray icon. The message windows are transparent so as
not to interfere with your work. If you move the cursor over the message,
the transparency disappears. You can change the degree of transparency
of such messages. To do so, adjust the Transparency factor scale to the
desired position. To remove message transparency, uncheck Enable
semi-transparent windows.
• Animation in the system tray icon.
Depending on the program operation performed, the system tray icon
changes. For example, if a script is being scanned, a small depiction of a
script appears in the background of the icon, and if an email is being
scanned, an envelope. By default, icon animation is enabled. If you want
to turn off animation, uncheck Animate tray icon when processing
items. Then the icon will only reflect the protection status of your
computer: if protection is enabled, the icon is in color, and if protection is
paused or disabled, the icon becomes gray.
Notifications of news from Kaspersky Lab
By default, if news is received, a special icon is displayed in the system
tray which displays a window containing the news item, when clicked.
To disable notifications, uncheck Notify of News Using Icon in
System Tray.
Display of Kaspersky Internet Security icon at operating system startup.
This indicator by default appears in the upper right-hand corner of the
screen when the program loads. It informs you that your computer is
protected from all threat types. If you do not want to use the protection
indicator, uncheck Show icon above Microsoft Windows login
window.
Note that modifications of Kaspersky Internet Security interface settings are not
saved when default settings are restored or if the application is uninstalled.
