## Display Tab

Functions within the Display Tab control how Password Safe and password items are displayed.

### Always keep Password Safe on top

If checked, maximized Password Safe will always be the top most window displayed in the montior, regardless of what other window may have focus.

### Show password in display list & tree

If checked, passwords will be displayed in a column next to their associated user name when viewed in the Flattened List view, or in square brackets following the user's name in the Nested Tree view.
This option is strongly discouraged in environments where passers-by can view the monitor.

### Show password in add & edit mode

If checked, passwords that would be hidden in the Add Entry and Edit/View Entry dialogs will be visible by default. You can display or hide the password for a specific entry by clicking on the "Show/Hide" button in the dialog.

### Show notes in edit

If checked, notes will be displayed by default in edit dialog. If not, you will need to click on the Notes field in order to view the text there.

### Put groups first in display tree

By default, your entries are displayed in strict alphabetical order in the tree view. When this option is selected, all the groups will be displayed first (in alphabetical order), followed by all top-level entries.

### Show grid lines in display list

If checked, a light grid line will be shown in the dispay list, making it look like a spreadsheet.

### Warn N days before password expires

If checked, PasswordSafe will scan all entries when reading a database (typically when starting up), and display a list of the whose expiration date is N days or less from the current date.

### Initial tree view

This determines how your entries will be displayed in the tree view when you open the database.

### Initial system tray icon

This allows you to change the color of the system tray icon displayed when Password Safe is initially started and when there's no open database.
