In individual modules' display, the right-click menu's Module Options selector provides font name and size selection.

The base font size is the size initially chosen for all modules displayed by Xiphos. The verse number and individual modules' font size choices are relative to the base font size.

Certain dictionary-style modules are Daily Devotionals whose keys are numerically in the form "Month.Day". If you have such a module installed and it has been selected as your preferred devotional, then you can ask that Xiphos display today's selection during startup.

Verse style indicates that each verse should begin on a separate line, or (when disabled) that verses should be allowed to group in paragraphs, according to the Bible module's internal markup. Not all Bible modules have such markup.

With Scroll to Previous/Next Chapter enabled, using the mouse to scroll to the beginning or end of a chapter will cause Xiphos to move automatically to the appropriate chapter.

If you enable Resize images, Xiphos will automatically resize image content in commentaries, general books, and dictionaries so as to fit the subwindow which contains them.

Highlight current verse, if enabled, will cause Xiphos to substitute mere current verse colorization with a high-contrast alternate color scheme on the current verse. The colors used may be chosen from the color selector pane (see above).
