Load folder image (if one exists) when Audio Files are being played
This setting determines if Zoom Player should look for Folder Images (album/song image) when opening Audio files.

Enlarge folder image to fit Video Area (otherwise Center and Shrink only)
When Zoom Player plays a media file and loads a folder image (album/song image) for it, it can either stretch the image to cover the entire video area or it can screen-center the image and keep it at its original size (as long as the original size is smaller than the video area, otherwise the image is resized to fit the smaller area).

Show Media Background Image (when no media file is loaded)
When this setting is enabled, Zoom Player will look for "mediaimage.bmp" (or mediaimage.jpg/mediaimage.png) in the Zoom Player directory and display it in the video area when no media file is loaded.

Show fullscreen Color Controls when values are changed through the keyboard macros
When enabled, modifying color values will pop the color control navigation interface for a few seconds.

Show version in file name area when nothing is playing
When enabled, Zoom Player will show the product name and version in the file name area when no media is being played.

Screen-Align video
The screen-align setting controls where on screen the video is aligned when the video doesn't cover the entire display area (in such cases where playing 16:9 videos on a 4:3 display or a 4:3 video on a 16:9 display).

Fullscreen Background Color
When switching to fullscreen, the background color is by default Black. Changing the background color can help you when positioning the video area or to manage screen bleeds when setting up a CRT display.

Zoom In / Out Axis
When Zooming the video In and Out, you can limit the axis in which the video is Zoomed. Note that this will only appear to be working if you set the aspect ratio mode to disabled.

Fit Text Using
In quite a few places through the Zoom Player interfaces, text must be made shorter in order to fit the visual area. This setting controls how the text will be adjusted in order to fit. "Cut Length" simply cuts the end of the text line, while "Vowel Decimation" removes vowels from the text so that the text can remain readable while taking less space.

Shrink / Enlarge
When Zooming In/Out, you can shrink/enlarge the video area either by Pixels or by percentages.

Shrink / Enlarge by
When Shrinking/Enlarging you can specify the amount. If shrink/enlarge is set to "percentage" then a value of "5" will shrink/enlarge by 5%.

Video Orbiting
To prevent screen-burns on devices that are very sensitive to a fixed image, Zoom Player can very slowly move the image around the screen so that the image doesn't get burned-in. This is mostly useful for Plasma displays which are very sensitive to image-burn (most high-end displays have internal oribiting capability and do not require this feature enabled).

Fullscreen Resolution
Zoom Player can automatically change monitor resolution when switching to fullscreen/zoom modes. This setting allows you to specify the resolution. When exiting fullscreen/zoom modes, Zoom Player will restore the previous resolution.
