+You can customize certain aspects of the user interface through a configuration
+file that can be imported from the Preferences dialog ("Preferences..." in the
+Edit menu) with the "Import..." button.
+An initial version of the file can be generated by using the "Export..." button
+from the same "Preferences..." dialog. This will generate the configuration XML
+file with all the available options. Once generated, you can remove some of the
+configuration options from the file if you don't want to override the current
+application value for that option.
