Hello Greenfoot peers! Shade here. I was hoping someone may know the solution to my preferences issue. No window comes up when I click on preferences or press ctrl +. It is as if I pressed nothing at all. The installation seemed successful and my files are placed in the right spot, like: c:\programfiles(86x)\greenfoot. Every other feature works, but I need to view the line numbers on the left if I want to use greenfoot at home for my homework. If I can't figure this out, I may have to only use the lab at school instead of being able to work on greenfoot from home! Please help! Warm regards, Shade

Not sure why you can't open it. (The shortcut is "ctrl+,".) In this Greenfoot folder, you should have a file named "bluej.defs" and there you will find these lines: 
bluej.editor.autoIndent=true
bluej.editor.syntaxHilighting=true
bluej.editor.displayLineNumbers=false
bluej.editor.makeBackup=false
bluej.editor.matchBrackets=true
These are the default values, so maybe it works if you set displayLineNumbers to true there.

If you are still having this problem, it may be that there is an error in Greenfoot. If you contact us as described on the support page (especially the part about providing the debug log), we can try to work out the issue and solve it, as it sounds like a bug in Greenfoot.
