If you wish <application>Xiphos</application> to display its interface in a language other than the default, you may select
one here. A restart will be required, so that the locale can be initialized.
</para>
<para>
If you enable <guilabel>Default Dictionary</guilabel>, then that named dictionary (see <guimenuitem>Special</guimenuitem>
below) module will always be used when double-clicking a word anywhere in <application>Xiphos</application>.
</para>
<para>
Certain dictionary-style modules are <guilabel>Daily Devotionals</guilabel> whose keys are numerically in the form "Month.Day". If you have
such a module installed and it has been selected as your preferred devotional, then you can ask that <application>Xiphos</application>
display today's selection during startup.
</para>

If you enable <guilabel>Resize images</guilabel>, <application>Xiphos</application> will automatically resize image
content in commentaries, general books, and dictionaries so as to fit the subwindow which contains them.
</para>
<para>
<guilabel>Highlight current verse</guilabel>, if enabled, will cause <application>Xiphos</application> to substitute
mere current verse colorization with a high-contrast alternate color scheme on the current verse. The colors used may be
chosen from the color selector pane (see below).
</para>
<para>
<guilabel>Highlight user annotations</guilabel> uses inverted highlight color choices when marking user-annotated
verses.

<para>
By default, <guilabel>Cross-references</guilabel> go into the Previewer. Selecting this checkbox puts them into the verse

<para>
BibleSync is a shared navigation protocol using LAN multicast. It is useful for a single person when running Bible programs on
multiple machines or devices, all of which you wish to navigate through the Bible together, or for a group working closely together,
such as translators. Also, it has a "lecture" mode, where a speaker's Bible program induces the audience's programs to follow along.
The difference in the modes regards who transmits and who receives navigation. In Personal mode, BibleSync navigation is both
transmitted and received; as Speaker, it transmits only; as Audience, it receives only.
</para>
<para>
To enable BibleSync, select a mode from the radio buttons. Also, choose whether to accept navigation directly, so that Xiphos moves
immediately to a specified verse, or whether incoming navigation is instead sent to the verse list, where you can decide whether to
follow.
</para>
<para>
If you use a firewall, you must punch a hole in it for UDP port 22272.
</para>
<para>
If you run more than one BibleSync-compatible program on your computer and do not wish your activity among them to be shared on the
local net, you can use Personal mode combined with the Private checkbox. This will tell <application>Xiphos</application> not to
broadcast outside your system.
</para>
<para>
You can send a verse list from the sidebar search or Advanced Search window via BibleSync; see the context (right-click) menu. A
particularly good use case for this is when using a simpler Bible program, such as on a mobile device, with another such as
<application>Xiphos</application> that has significant search capability: Do searches in <application>Xiphos</application> and send
the resulting verse list to the mobile device. Be aware that size limitations on the protocol are small, and though a search may
generate hundreds of results in the verse list, at most a few dozen will pass in the protocol to the receivers. For
<application>Xiphos</application>, receipt of multi-references always induces indirect verse list navigation.
</para>
<para>
<application>Xiphos</application> is the first Bible program with a BibleSync implementation; as such, its utility may be limited for
now. But a number of other programs' authors and support organizations have indicated their intention to support BibleSync as well,
including Laridian, theWord, BibleAnalyzer, and Accordance, as well as other Sword Project applications.
