# 5.2. Settings Menu

The settings menu is used to start and pause the game.

Settings->Show Menubar

  This toggles the menubar on or off. If it is off, and you need to use the menubar, you can right click in the playing area of KPoker and a menu will appear. You can then select Show Menubar to turn it back on.

Settings->Show Statusbar

  This option will toggle the statusbar on or off. The status bar is located at the bottom of the KPoker window, and contains instructions for play, and how much you won on the previous hand.

Settings->Sound

  This option will toggle the sound on or off.

Settings->Blinking Cards

  If this option has a check beside it, then when you win a hand, the cards which won you the money will blink. If this option is not checked, no cards blink.

Settings->Adjust Bet is default.

  If this option does not have a check in front of it, and you are playing a 2 person game, you will be responsible for clicking Adjust bet, if your opponent raises the stakes, because the default action will be to "fold" your hand in defeat.

  If, on the other hand, the option does have a check in front of it, and you are in the same situation, the default action of the game, is to match your opponents bet, and you will be responsible for folding your hand.

Settings->Save Settings

  This saves all your options to your hard drive. These options will be restored automatically when you restart KPoker.

Settings->Configure Card Decks

  This will open a new window where you can select the front and back of the cards for kpoker.

Settings->Configure KPoker

  This opens a dialog box.

  There are either one or three options to adjust:

  The top text box determines in milliseconds how long to delay before showing the next card. This can be used to speed up the deals, if you are not interested in the more realistic default speed.

  The text box labeled Maximal Bet, determines the maximum bet for each hand.

  The text box labeled Minimal Bet determins the smallest allowable bet for each hand

  | The Maximal Bet and Minimal Bet lines are not shown in one player mode. In single player mode, only the card delay can be adjusted.

  As you can see, the changes will not go into effect until a new round is started.
