Here are my personal adjustments to Kitty. You may find it useful.
As of version 0.63.0.2 there is now a specific portable version. Not sure how it is different than just adding the kitty.ini file. |
Here are the contents of my Kitty Configuration File. Copy the contents into notepad and save it to the directory where Kitty is running as the file "kitty.ini".
[KiTTY] ; Instead of storing in Windows Registry all information is kept in directories ; Commands, Folders, Launcher, Sessions, Sessions_Commands and SshHostKeys. savemode=dir ; Enables transparency, Windows XP and up only. ; Use CTRL-Up Arrow and CTRL-Down Arrow to change transparency. transparency=yes ; Shows different icons per connection icon=yes [ConfigBox] ; Shows different icons per connection height=25 |
These changes are in order of importance to my everyday use.
