It can be used to optimize behaviour that doesn't deserve a distinct API, but is still important to be able to configure. These options are currently recognised by wxWidgets: @section sysopt_win Windows @beginFlagTable @flag{no-maskblt} 1 to never use WIN32's MaskBlt function, 0 to allow it to be used where possible. Default: 0. In some circumstances the MaskBlt function can be slower than using the fallback code, especially if using DC cacheing. By default, MaskBlt will be used where it is implemented by the operating system and driver. @flag{msw.remap} If 1 (the default), wxToolBar bitmap colours will be remapped to the current theme's values. Set this to 0 to disable this functionality, for example if you're using more than 16 colours in your tool bitmaps. @flag{msw.window.no-clip-children} If 1, windows will not automatically get the WS_CLIPCHILDREN style. This restores the way windows are refreshed back to the method used in versions of wxWidgets earlier than 2.5.4, and for some complex window hierarchies it can reduce apparent refresh delays. You may still specify wxCLIP_CHILDREN for individual windows. @flag{msw.notebook.themed-background} If set to 0, globally disables themed backgrounds on notebook pages. Note that this won't disable the theme on the actual notebook background (noticeable only if there are no pages). @flag{msw.staticbox.optimized-paint} If set to 0, switches off optimized wxStaticBox painting. Setting this to 0 causes more flicker, but allows applications to paint graphics on the parent of a static box (the optimized refresh causes any such drawing to disappear). @flag{msw.display.directdraw} If set to 1, use DirectDraw-based implementation of wxDisplay. By default the standard Win32 functions are used. @flag{msw.font.no-proof-quality} If set to 1, use default fonts quality instead of proof quality when creating fonts. With proof quality the fonts have slightly better appearance but not all fonts are available in this quality, e.g. the Terminal font in small sizes is not and this option may be used if wider fonts selection is more important than higher quality. @endFlagTable @section sysopt_gtk GTK+ @beginFlagTable @flag{gtk.tlw.can-set-transparent} wxTopLevelWindow::CanSetTransparent() method normally tries to detect automatically whether transparency for top level windows is currently supported, however this may sometimes fail and this option allows to override the automatic detection. Setting it to 1 makes the transparency be always available (setting it can still fail, of course) and setting it to 0 makes it always unavailable. @flag{gtk.desktop} This option can be set to override the default desktop environment determination. Supported values are GNOME and KDE. @flag{gtk.window.force-background-colour} If 1, the backgrounds of windows with the wxBG_STYLE_COLOUR background style are cleared forcibly instead of relying on the underlying GTK+ window colour. This works around a display problem when running applications under KDE with the gtk-qt theme installed (0.6 and below). @endFlagTable @section sysopt_mac Mac @beginFlagTable @flag{mac.window-plain-transition} If 1, uses a plainer transition when showing a window. You can also use the symbol wxMAC_WINDOW_PLAIN_TRANSITION. @flag{window-default-variant} The default variant used by windows (cast to integer from the wxWindowVariant enum). Also known as wxWINDOW_DEFAULT_VARIANT. flag{mac.listctrl.always_use_generic} Tells wxListCtrl to use the generic control even when it is capable of using the native control instead. Also knwon as wxMAC_ALWAYS_USE_GENERIC_LISTCTRL. flag{mac.textcontrol-use-spell-checker} This option only has effect for Mac OS X 10.4 and higher. If 1 activates the spell checking in wxTextCtrl. @endFlagTable @section sysopt_mgl MGL @beginFlagTable @flag{mgl.aa-threshold} Set this integer option to point size below which fonts are not antialiased. Default: 10. @flag{mgl.screen-refresh} Screen refresh rate in Hz. A reasonable default is used if not specified. @endFlagTable @section sysopt_motif Motif @beginFlagTable @flag{motif.largebuttons} If 1, uses a bigger default size for wxButtons. @endFlagTable The compile-time option to include or exclude this functionality is wxUSE_SYSTEM_OPTIONS. @library{wxbase} @category{misc} @see wxSystemOptions::SetOption, wxSystemOptions::GetOptionInt, wxSystemOptions::HasOption */ class wxSystemOptions : public wxObject { public: /** Default constructor.

This is mostly useful for boolean options for which you can't use @c GetOptionInt(name) == 0 as this would also be @true if the option hadn't been set at all. */ static bool IsFalse(const wxString& name); //@{ /** Sets an option.
