Using the Preferences dialog

To change settings, use the preferences dialog.

In the grammars section of the preferences you can control the grammar suggestions for files you open. Downloaded grammars are stored in the Application Support folder of Synalyze It!. Depending on the version you use, this is for example "~/Library/Containers/com.synalyze-it.SynalyzeItPro/Data/Library/Application Support/Synalyze It! Pro/Grammars" (due to sandboxing). On program start, all grammars in this folder are scanned an will be offered to open when you open a file that has a matching UTI or file extension.

Preferences dialog, grammars tab

The hex editor section of the preferences lets you change the appearance of the hex editor. If you don't change the number type in the first column of the hex editor often you probably want to disable displaying of the "0x" prefix.
The bytes per column setting allows to switch grouping of lines or columns.

Preferences dialog, hex editor tab

The colors section of the preferences allows you to change the selection colors as you like. The main selection is the selection in the hex view that will be used for copy & paste. The secondary selection is the corresponding selection in hex/text view. Some users prefer to display inverted text which is also possible.
