This tab has been redesigned and expanded in IGB 6.6. This tab contains options addressing the color/appearance of non-track elements in the image, as well as some other miscellaneous options.
Coordinates
The options for changing axis appearance are here. You can change the foreground and background colors or customize the format used to present numbers. Changes to the colors take effect after closing the Preferences window.

IGB warns you when you are about to exit the program, before you delete a file or files, and before you attempt to load alignments data (BAM files) for very large regions. Each of these warnings has the option to not be shown again. To turn off these warnings or reset your previous choice, check (or uncheck) Ask before exiting, and Confirm before delete and/or Confirm before load.
Zoom Stripe Options
The Zoom Stripe is very useful for knowing your genomic location and for seeing the horizontal zoom focus. However, sometimes the Zoom Stripe label (genomic location) can impede your view of data. Unchecking Show Zoom Stripe label will hide this information. You can also hide the Zoom Stripe entirely by unchecking Keep zoom stripe in view. This can be useful for making publication quality images.
Show Collapse Option
The Collapse/Expand button within tracks can be very useful, so this is set to on by default. However, the small + button in each track can look odd in pictures, or some users may not like it. Unchecking this option will remove the button from the tracks. The button can be seen below.
