If you wish <span class="application">Xiphos</span> to display its interface in a language other than the default, you may select
5
one here. A restart will be required, so that the locale can be initialized.
7
If you enable <span class="guilabel">Default Dictionary</span>, then that named dictionary (see <span class="guimenuitem">Special</span>
8
below) module will always be used when double-clicking a word anywhere in <span class="application">Xiphos</span>.
10
Certain dictionary-style modules are <span class="guilabel">Daily Devotionals</span> whose keys are numerically in the form "Month.Day". If you have
11
such a module installed and it has been selected as your preferred devotional, then you can ask that <span class="application">Xiphos</span>
12
display today's selection during startup.
14
If you enable <span class="guilabel">Resize images</span>, <span class="application">Xiphos</span> will automatically resize image
15
content in commentaries, general books, and dictionaries so as to fit the subwindow which contains them.
17
<span class="guilabel">Highlight current verse</span>, if enabled, will cause <span class="application">Xiphos</span> to substitute
18
mere current verse colorization with a high-contrast alternate color scheme on the current verse. The colors used may be
19
chosen from the color selector pane (see below).
21
<span class="guilabel">Highlight user annotations</span> uses inverted the highlight color choices when marking user-annotated
24
By default, <span class="guilabel">Cross-references</span> go into the Previewer. Selecting this checkbox puts them into the verse

Verse number display can be offset in several ways provided by the checkboxes.

BibleSync is a shared navigation protocol using LAN multicast. It is useful for a single person when running Bible programs on
30
multiple machines or devices, all of which you wish to navigate through the Bible together, or for a group working closely together,
31
such as translators. Also, it has a "lecture" mode, where a speaker's Bible program induces the audience's programs to follow along.
32
The difference in the modes regards who transmits and who receives navigation. In Personal mode, BibleSync navigation is both
33
transmitted and received; as Speaker, it transmits only; as Audience, it receives only.
35
To enable BibleSync, select a mode from the radio buttons. Also, choose whether to accept navigation directly, so that Xiphos moves
36
immediately to a specified verse, or whether incoming navigation is instead sent to the verse list, where you can decide whether to
39
If you use a firewall, you must punch a hole in it for UDP port 22272.
41
If you run more than one BibleSync-compatible program on your computer and do not wish your activity among them to be shared on the
42
local net, you can use Personal mode combined with the Private checkbox. This will tell <span class="application">Xiphos</span> not to
43
broadcast outside your system.
45
You can send a verse list from the sidebar search or Advanced Search window via BibleSync; see the context (right-click) menu. A
46
particularly good use case for this is when using a simpler Bible program, such as on a mobile device, with another such as
47
<span class="application">Xiphos</span> that has significant search capability: Do searches in <span class="application">Xiphos</span> and send
48
the resulting verse list to the mobile device. Be aware that size limitations on the protocol are small, and though a search may
49
generate hundreds of results in the verse list, at most a few dozen will pass in the protocol to the receivers. For
50
<span class="application">Xiphos</span>, receipt of multi-references always induces indirect verse list navigation.
52
<span class="application">Xiphos</span> is the first Bible program with a BibleSync implementation; as such, its utility may be limited for
53
now. But a number of other programs' authors and support organizations have indicated their intention to support BibleSync as well,
54
including Laridian, theWord, BibleAnalyzer, and Accordance, as well as other Sword Project applications.
