The RedWarn preferences menu as seen in RedWarn 16.1

RedWarn users can access their preferences by clicking on the More options icon at the top right of every page (unless modified) and then the preferences icon (). This opens up the preferences window, which is divided into several sections. Once you've made your desired changes you can either press the Save Changes button to save changes in that section or the save button in the top right (with icon) of the page to save all changes made.

Sidebar

The preferences menu sidebar contains RedWarn news, a link to the Discord server and options to install or make Quick Templates.

On the Quick Template card, there are 3 buttons: "Install Quick Template Pack", "Get Packs", and "Create New Pack".

• Install quick template pack opens up a new popup that gives you 2 options. One to "Install From Pack Code" and the other to "Cancel". If you continue by clicking "Install From Pack Code", an HTML alert will open prompting the user to enter a pack code for the pack they wish to install (see Wikipedia:RedWarn/Documentation/Quick Template).
• Get packs opens the list of published quick templates in a new tab, which contains pack codes for quick template packs published by other users.
• Create new pack creates a new quick template pack, only usable by the creating user. This template pack can later be edited and published.

Customization

The main part of the preferences menu contains various sections which allow you to customize the way RedWarn works, reacts and looks

Button locations

Click and drag menu options to rearrange and sort icons, and move them between your favourites (that you can access immediately) and icons you use less often that you wish to access through the "more options" menu. You can also right-click on any icon to change its properties, such as its icon or colour.
