## Display Tab

Functions within the Display Tab control how Password Safe and password items are displayed.

### Always keep Password Safe on top

If checked, maximized Password Safe will always be the top most window displayed in the monitor, regardless of what other window may have focus.

### Show Username in Tree View

If checked, usernames will be displayed in square brackets following the item's name in the Nested Tree view.

### Show Password in Tree View

If checked, passwords will be displayed in curly braces following the user's name in the Nested Tree view.
This option is strongly discouraged in environments where passers-by can view the monitor.

### Show Notes as ToolTips in Tree & List Views

If checked, notes to an hovered item will be shown.

### Show password in Add & Edit

If checked, passwords that would be hidden in the Add Entry and Edit/View Entry dialogs will be visible by default. You can display or hide the password for a specific entry by clicking on the "Show/Hide" button in the dialog.

### Show Notes in Edit

If checked, notes will be displayed by default in edit dialog. If not, you will need to click on the Notes field in order to view the text there.

### Word Wrap Notes in Add & Edit

If checked, the words will automatically be wrapped in the window, without an horizontal scroll bar.
If not checked, an horizontal scroll bar will appear, if necesarry.

### Show Grid Lines in List View

If checked, a light grid line will be shown in the dispay list, making it look like a spreadsheet.

### Put Groups first in Tree View

By default, your entries are displayed in strict alphabetical order in the tree view. When this option is selected, all the groups will be displayed first (in alphabetical order), followed by all top-level entries.

### Highlight changed entries

As long as entries are not saved, they will be shown highlighted. If you checked "Save database immediately after Edit or Add" in the Backup tab, entries will never be highlighted, because they get saved immediately.

### Warn N days before password expires

If checked, PasswordSafe will scan all entries when reading a database (typically when starting up), and display a list of the whose expiration date is N days or less from the current date.

### Initial tree view

This determines how your entries will be displayed in the tree view when you open the database.

### Initial system tray icon

This allows you to change the colour of the system tray icon displayed when Password Safe is initially started and when there's no open database.
