...what do the four options available under the settings menu do?

• Download everything
• Run game on DirectX 9
• Minimise to tray when I click the 'close' button
...I got home and took a look at the settings

1: means that you are/should be sending logs back to CCP about the game's run processes and crashes
2: means you download all game data, as the default is LOD (load on demand). Say you live in a WH, bought a new computer, installed EVE - under the download everything you would lottery down load everything, but in the load on demand you would only install and download the data/assets related to your WH (LOD allows you to have an instal footprint of like 8-15 GB, while the entire EVE client is closer to 25-30gb)
3: is an option that doesn't exist on Mac, as we only have DX 9
4: from what I can tell - it is like when you close a safari window - the app still runs - but there is no window, but in this case instead of killing the window, you just minimize to dock.
Brilliant Amarisen, thank you so much. A really good and consise explanation. I really appreciate the help.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. When I die, all those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

I appreciate the help, though it didn't help me get my old IGB bookmarks to appear in the new launcher. Unfortunately for the characters that require use of the IGB I still need to use the old launcher , with all its problems

Wait a sec... Do you still have this issue with the IGB on the Mac? This is working for me with Beta verison 991682.
