Hello,
I need to turn off the "chime" that plays when starting up Logos 5. I have a Mac running Mountain Lion. I'd expected to find it in "Preferences" but did not. Thank you for your help.
With abandon in Jesus our Christ,
Patrick
Och! Found it. Preferences/General/Play Sounds toggle.
I'm not sure if feedback gets to the right folks here, but the way Preferences is done is decidedly unMac like and challenging to line up the toggles on the right with the list on the left. I love Logos as the best tool to use, but it has a fair way to go before it becomes "Apple intuitive."
May God startle you with joy!

Welcome [:D]
One option is changing Preferences panel width so toggles are closer to text description.
Thankful for cross platform usability of Logos 5 on Windows and OS X.
Keep Smiling [:)]
Indeed. I did. However the "far from user friendly UI common to Mac" comment refers to a lot more than the width of the Preference panel. Logos very much has the look and feel of a windows app ported to the Mac.
Or one could hover over the question mark to the right of the choices and it will give a pop up window detailing the implications of the options. I can only assume this feature is on the Mac version as I am a PC user.
It might be helpful if team Logos alternated the colors every other line to make this visually easier for the Mac crowd. I have made light-hearted jest of my Mac brothers and sisters in the past with their expectations in the Mac environment. But I can see where a first glance at the Program Settings (Preferences for Mac) could be a bit overwhelming.
Hey, I wish my PC would wash dishes and pick up groceries.
Och, Kevin! Thank you for responding. That's the exact flavor of ignorant response I've received from the sales guy and others at Logos I worked with. You simply do not realize you are defending mediocrity, not just difference.
Here is what Logos seems to not understand. Logos is at the engineers' level of excellence. The next step (challenge) is to take the UI to a designers' level of excellence, one that integrates that power into an interface that is intuitive and user friendly and promotes flow of thought rather than inhibiting it. Easy? No. Worth it? Absolutely. Based on the responses I've gotten I won't be holding my breath because when I say such things I'm heard as though I'm referring to Limbo (a waiting room for innocent souls, that does not exist).
I love what your software can do, and yet I know it could do so much more for me and many, many others if the interface was not a needless obstacle to use, but rather a help to the flow of human logic and reason. But I do not suppose you realize how much it is in the way, so what I say makes no sense. For it to make sense, you would need to hire someone who literally does "think different." If you did, everyone would benefit.
