As the tooltips indicate, you must shut down and restart Scribus for these to take effect when they are changed.</p>

 <ul>
-<li>Text – Fill Color and Shading, Line Color and Shading (Fill Color and Line Color refer to the frame), Tab Fill Character, default Tab width, number of Columns in a frame, Column Gap width, distances of text from the edges of the frame: Top, Left, Bottom, and Right. You also choose the default Font, its Size, its Color and Shading, its Stroke and Shading. Stroke refers to the outline of the glyph and Color is the fill. There is also a Preview at the bottom of the tab to see your changes as you make them.</li>
-<li>Images – Fill Color and Shading, Line Color and Shading, a check to Use an Embedded Clipping Path. You can choose Free Scaling for imported images and the default Scaling. Alternatively you might choose to Scale Image to Frame Size, and perhaps to Keep Aspect Ratio. Lastly, you choose the default screen resolution of images, which only applies to the display in Scribus, not the resolution in an exported PDF.</li>
-<li>Shapes – Fill Color and Shading, Line Color and Shading, Line Style, and Line Width.</li>
-<li>Regular Polygons – Polygons will inherit the fill and line settings from Shapes. Here you set the number of Corners and Rotational position of the figure. Inner Rotation is only active when you check Apply Factor. The Factor setting determines whether the sides of the polygon bow inward or outward, and Inner Curvature and Outer Curvature causes and inward or outward bowing of the line segments between corners. Since there is a preview window, you can see the effect of various changes.</li>
-<li>Line – Line Color and Shading, Line Style, Width, and the type of Start Arrow and End Arrow, if any.</li>
-<li>Calligraphic Pen – Fill Color and Shading, Line Color and Shading. Line here might also be called the ‘Stroke’ or borders of the calligraphic line. Line Style and Pen Angle can also be set, and Line Width and Pen Width. Pen Width here is the fill of the calligraphic line, between the strokes.</li>
-<li>Arc – Start Angle and End Angle. A preview shows your settings graphically.</li>
-<li>Spiral – Start Angle (outer end of the spiral), End Angle (inner end of the spiral). Factor determines how sharply it spirals inward. Again, there is a preview window.</li>

 <li>Zoom – here you set the limits for document zoom, with the absolute Minimum and Maximum being 1% and 3200% respectively. You also set the percentage of change as you click the ‘-’ and ‘+’ icons for zooming.</li>
-<li>Miscellaneous – when you do a simple duplication of an object (<i>Item > Duplicate</i>), here are settings for the amount of X and Y shift of the copy. The Constrain To setting for Rotation would apply when you rotate with the mouse while holding down Ctrl-Shift, and also when you make a line segment while holding down Ctrl-Shift. So you would see the position jump from 0° to 15° to 30°, and so on.</li>
