Use New Changes Browser

Controls if the new or old ChangesBrowser should be used.
The new ChangesBrowser presents a nicer user interface, but is missing some advanced search and compress functions.
The default is to use the old ChangesBrowser.

Use New System Browser

Controls if the new or old SystemBrowser should be used.
The new SystemBrowser offers many additional features, among them: multiple buffers, undo, advanced search functionality, refactory support and others.

Use New VersionDiff Browser

Controls if the new VersionDiffBroser or the old DiffView should be used, when comparing a classes repository revision against the current version (via the browsers class-repository submenu).
The new VersionDiffBroser offers a nicer user interface, presenting changes by individual methods. In contrast, the old diffViewer shows overall differences, based upon a classes complete source.
As the versionDiffBrowser is a new tool, and still under construction and debugging, the default is to use the old DiffView (currently).

Use Hierarchical Inspector

Show Clock in Launcher

Controls if a clock is shown in the launcher.
Normally, this is enabled, but you may want to disable the clock, if ST/X has its display connected via a dialUp line (X-display via ISDN, for example), to avoid the periodic redial/reconnect due to clock updates.

Increasing this number may lead to additional memory use.
