When the galculator Preferences dialog box appears you'll see six tabs across the top: Display, Buttons, Constants, Functions, Numbers, and General. The Display tab will be the default active tab. This allows you to change the appearance and visible modules.
The Buttons tab allows you to change the font on the buttons and change the size of the buttons.
The Constants tab allows you to define place values for mathematical constants.
The Functions tab allows you to define functions as a timesaver feature.
The Numbers tab allows you to configure the number base of Decimal, Hexadecimal, Octal, and Binary. It allows you to define the decimal separator character displayed.
The General tab allows you to define the size of the RPN stack size, whether or not you want to remember the display value when you exit, and if you want to display the menu bar.
This is a nice little calculator for Linux users.
