# Modifying Parallels Client Preferences
To modify Parallels Client preferences, click **Parallels Client** > **Settings** in the main menu.
## **General**
* **Show Parallels Client icon in menu bar**. Adds Parallels Client icon to the Mac menu bar.
* **Logging**. Allows you to set logging level. The **View Log** and **Clear Log** buttons allow you to view and erase the log file.
## **Keyboard**
On the **Keyboard** tab page, you can choose keyboard shortcuts to send Windows-specific commands to remote applications or desktops:
* **Send Ctrl key using:** Select one or more options to send the Ctrl key command.
* **Send Windows logo key using:** Select one or more options to send the Windows logo key (the key on a standard PC keyboard with the Windows logo on it).
## **Advanced**
* **Do not warn if server certificate is not verified**. When connected over SSL, and the certificate is not verified, a warning message will be displayed. You can disable this warning message by enabling this option.
* **Raw printing support**. When this option is enabled, printing will work for applications sending data in RAW format.
* **Close error messages automatically**. When this option is enabled, errors that occur during application launch are not shown.
* **Swap Mouse Buttons**. When enabling this setting, the mouse buttons will be swapped on the remote computer.
* **DPI aware**. Select this option when running a remote desktop session on a Retina display for best image quality. Please note that if you are already connected to Parallels RAS, you will need to fully sign out and then sign in for this option to take effect. Please also note that a Windows application must have proper support for HiDPI scaling to look crisp on a Retina display.
* **Allow Parallels Client to create shortcuts configured by the administrator**. Create shorcuts configured by your administrator on the server side.
* **Shortcuts folder**. Select a folder for creating shortcuts.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.parallels.com/landing/ras-mac-client-guide/v20/using-parallels-client-for-mac/modifying-parallels-client-preferences.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
