• customize and modify various types of Preferences
• remove or recover the Background
• switch workspace (by opening the workspace drawer)
• via the Utilities option you can
  • hide/show the Tiles
  • manage functions related to the workspaces
  • send diagnostic data to Directa, if needed, to improve your trading experience
  • consult the release notes and information about the Darwin version you are using
• access the INFO page and the Help
• reconnect to the trading server and/or to recover the price data feed when needed, with no need to quit and re enter Darwin (the options Reconnect Trading Data Feed and Reconnect Market Data Feed will appear active only when needed)
• quit Darwin, and choose whether to save or not all settings (the options Exit without saving and Save All are the same you access with the Close X button on the right of the Main Bar itself).
