* **Default Language for new Projects** - Through a drop down menu you can access an area where you can choose, from a total of 126 languages, which language will be used in the project.

In the following options, only ask if you want to activate the indicated setting or not.

* **Check associations on startup** - Each time Kalipso starts, it can check if ‘.mfs’ files are associated with Kalipso Designer.
* **Check for updates on startup** - When Kalipso starts, it can check for updates.
* **Open last Project on startup** - Allows to open the last project.
* **Backup before each Save** - It’s highly recommended that you set Kalipso to backup your work. Before your Project is saved, Kalipso will save the physical ‘.mfs’ file in a .zip file, under the History folder of your Project folder. This way, you always have a version of your Project for each save.
* **Hide unnamed Global Variables** - A Kalipso project has about 1000 variables available. If you normally only use 10, you can give them a name to easily identify them. In Kalipso whenever you have to choose a variable, a list of 1000 appears, when in practice you only use 10. This parameter is used to hide those you don't use.
* **Hide unnamed Local Variables** - It has the same function as the previous option with the difference of applying only to local variables.
* **Dock Actions list at** - You can define if the Actions List has to be shown at the left or right of the Control Actions.
* **Android Deployment** - You can define the way you want to test your project in Android
