After the first start, the **settings window** opens – this is the central starting point for all configuration. It is recommended to keep the settings window open during operation (e.g. to quickly toggle the beacon on and off).

From v1.21 onwards, window sizes and divider positions are also saved when you click Save.

## Saving Settings
Click **"Save Settings"** after **every** change! Without saving, all changes will be lost on the next start.
**Save Settings** stores functional settings and the complete current layout. Changes to window sizes and positions, relevant dividers and managed table-column widths are also saved automatically after a short delay. Any pending layout update is written when the programme exits.
- Storage location: `~/.praktiKST/preferences.xml` on Linux and macOS and `%USERPROFILE%\.praktiKST\preferences.xml` (or `C:\Users\<Username>\.praktiKST\preferences.xml`) on Windows
- From v1.21: Window sizes and divider positions are also saved.
- The automatic layout writer does not copy functional changes which have not yet been confirmed with **Save Settings**.
- Configuration version 6 adds optional column-width entries below `guiOptions`. Older `preferences.xml` files remain readable. Missing or invalid widths simply cause KST4Contest to calculate useful initial widths again.
- Older programme versions ignore the additional XML entries. If an older version rewrites the complete file, only the column widths may be lost.
- If you encounter problems: delete the configuration file → KST4Contest will create a new one with default values.
