Settings

You can change the appearance, change Git behavior, and connect provider accounts in Settings.

To open Settings, click File > Settings.

You can change the settings for the following categories.

  • Account — Sign in to Zide and manage your subscription, credits, and perpetual license.
  • Application — Default startup behavior, CLI command, and image privacy.
  • Browser — Default search engine and homepage for the built-in browser.
  • CLI Agents — Configure CLI agent profiles and default behavior of CLI agents.
  • Git — Default merge tool and sync behavior.
  • Zide Assist — Default model, Crosscheck, MCP connections, and session behavior.
    • Safety & Permissions — Safety and permissions for Zide Assist, set with the Safety & Permissions preset scale. Shown indented under Zide Assist in the settings list.
  • Layout — Project and menu bar placement, activity labels, pane defaults and controls, and UI scale.
  • Projects — Enable project initialization.
  • Providers — Connected GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket accounts.
  • Terminal — Default shell and terminal appearance.
  • Developer — Debug messages, console message history, and the terminal WebGL renderer mode (Auto, On, Off). Auto keeps GPU-accelerated rendering on everywhere except macOS, where it is disabled to avoid mis-painted terminal redraws.

Each setting displays a reset icon when its value differs from the default.
