[All Adaptavist Apps]
This tab is accessed from the Layout Manager in Theme Builder 3.0 and above.
The Options tab lets you tweak various settings such as breadcrumbs, printable layout, JavaScript libraries, etc.
By default, when you edit pages an email notification will be sent to anyone watching the page. The person can manually check the "Minor Edit" text box to prevent notifications from being sent if desired.
The "Check 'minor edit' checkbox by default" option does just that - when someone edits a page the checkbox will automatically be checked. This is useful for spaces where the majority of edits are small and notifications are not generally desired.
These options allow you to optionally hide any of the first three links on the breadcrumb trail.
The breadcrumb trail is added to a layout by placing the builder-breadcrumbs macro in one of the layout panels using the Panel Editor.
This option sets the horizontal alignment of the page panel to either Left, Center or Right aligned.
For this setting to have effect, the width of the page panel must be less than 100%.
This setting allows you to choose which layout is used when the printable view of a page is shown.
To set the printable layout, enter the Layout ID for the layout you wish to use in to the text box. The ID for a layout is shown on the Overview Tab.
If no ID is specified, the current layout will be used for the printable view.
The favourites icon appears next to the URL in the web browser toolbar, bookmarks and some browser plugins. This option allows you to customise the favourites icon.
For more information, please see Favourites Icon.

System Administrators can set permissions to restrict who can use these options. By default, only Confluence site administrators (confluence-administrators
group) can change these options.
These options allow you to remove certain JavaScript libraries from the theme - this is sometimes useful if you are using your own libraries or want to minimise bandwidth consumption.
Internet Explorer versions prior to 7.0 did not handle alpha transparency in PNG images properly. By default, Theme Builder includes a JavaScript library that fixes this problem in Internet Explorer 5.5 to 6.x.
If you don't use PNG images and want to reduce page load times, you can turn off this feature.
Note: The menuicon macro will automatically output the appropriate image format (either PNG or GIF) based on this setting.
System Administrators can set permissions to restrict who can use this option.
By default, Confluence includes a JavaScript library called script.aculo.us which has all kinds of useful features for JavaScript developers.
The library is used for a wide range of Confluence macros including the Calendar macro, the builder-labels macro and even parts of the Confluence user interface.
If you are not using anything that requires this library, you can turn it off using this option (not recommended) to reduce page load times.
By popular demand we've added two optional "debug" options to Theme Builder...
This option, when selected, will output a comment in the HTML source of web pages that use the layout.
This information is useful if you've encountered a problem with a layout and require online support but there are a few very useful bits of information for theme designers in there as well...
The decorator
, context
and mode
values provide a quick way to determine settings for the builder-show macro and builder-hide macro.
Values starting with a $
indicate that the property is undefined for whatever page you are looking at.
If you don't need this information, de-select the option to reduce page sizes, bandwidth consumption and even a tiny bit of processing time on the server.
This option, when selected, will show the version numbers of Theme Builder and Confluence at the bottom of pages.
This is often useful for support, especially in large organisations where internal policies would make this information otherwise difficult to find.
System Administrators can set permissions to restrict who can use this option.
This option allows you to add attributes to the <HTML> tag for all pages viewed with the layout.
