In this video, Mahalo expert Gene Shaw explains how the Interface Preferences panel works and what each option does.

Interface Preferences
---------------------------------------------------------------------

From the Photoshop Interface panel you can change the look and function of the menus, panels and the workspace.
1. Open the preferences menu by pressing Ctrl+K (Command+K for Mac) and click on the tab Interface.2. Under the General section, you are given various options. The three options are Standard Screen Mode, Full Screen with Menus, and Screen mode. You can set the color and the border under each of these. The color refers to the background, while the border refers to the area around the image.3. The next items are Show Channels In Color (which isn't very important), Show Menu Colors (which toggles a choice of different colors when you choose various menu items), Show Tool Tips (which toggles the pop-up description that shows when you hover the mouse pointer over each option), and Enable Gestures (which is only used by Macs that have multi-touch track pads).4. Under Panels and Documents you have Auto-Collapse Iconic Panels (which can help un-clutter your workspace when enabled), Auto-Show Hidden Panels (which toggles whether or not you want your panels to always show or hide), Open Documents as Tabs (which toggles documents that you open to either open in a new tab or open in a separate window), and Enable Floating Window Document Docking (which, when enabled, allows you to add documents in separate windows to the same window as a different tab).5. Under UI Text Options you can set the Language and Font Sizes.
