App Appearance

App Appearance is the User Interface Settings section of QuickPlanX App Settings. Use it to define device-specific interface preferences—fonts, layout defaults, gestures—that automatically carry across every project you open on that device, while project-level settings continue to handle data and layout choices that must travel with each project file.

Options​

Gantt & Table Layout​

Configure how the Gantt chart and table view share the canvas.

Unified or Separate Views​

Decide whether the Gantt chart and table view appear side by side on the same screen or in dedicated pages. Choose a single page for quick comparisons, or split the views when you want more room for one layout.

Visibility Picker Placement​

When both views are visible together, choose where the visibility toggle lives—either inside the toolbar for fast switching or embedded in the content area to stay close to the data.

Gantt Chart Options​

Fine-tune how scheduling data appears in the timeline.

Taskbar Title Display​

Customize typography for taskbar titles so high-priority items remain legible even in dense schedules.

Task Group Box​

Select the styling of group containers to emphasize hierarchy or keep the timeline minimal.

Switch between the available dependency line styles to match your preferred visual vocabulary.

Gesture Behavior​

Define what a tap or click does in the Gantt chart—open details, select tasks, or trigger a quick action—so the chart reacts the way you expect.

Timeline Scale Picker​

Choose where the scale selector lives, keeping zoom controls handy for your workflow.

Status Bar Content​

Pick what the status bar tracks (milestones or selection details) to surface the context you rely on most.
See details.

Table View Options​

Configure typography and density so tabular data matches the way you review schedules or lists. Adjust text size and row spacing to keep critical columns readable without needless scrolling.

Subproject Controls​

Subproject Navigator​

Toggle the navigator to quickly hop between nested projects when you build large master plans.

Other Preferences​

Paste Behavior on Non-Group Tasks​

Choose how pasted data behaves when it targets standalone tasks—whether to create siblings, convert the target into a group, or block incompatible structures.
