# View Settings

View settings control how the translation grid and the side panels look while you translate.

### Grid display

* **Show invisibles** – reveals spaces, tabs, and line breaks as visible markers; useful for catching trailing whitespace
* **Tag colour** – the highlight colour used for inline formatting tags (`<b>`, `<i>`, etc.)
* **Row height** – compact, normal, or spacious; affects how many segments you see at once without scrolling

### Right panel (Chat, matches)

* **Right panel default width** – default width of the right-hand panel that hosts the Match Panel and the 💬 Chat tab. Can also be dragged at runtime; the width is remembered across sessions.

### Tips

* If tags are hard to see, increase tag colour saturation or switch to **Tag View** (shows placeholder boxes instead of raw tag text).
* For long sessions, try a slightly larger row height — it reduces eye strain when scanning for specific segments.
* Dark mode is set in [Theme](/help/settings-1/theme.md), not here.
