You can set a number of options in i2Brain which are valid for all of your projects:

The first option should be activated if you usually add a text to your links. You are asked every time you create one. If this option is deactivated, you can still add a text: right-click on the link and choose "Properties".

Some users use the clipart toolbar all the time, others almost never. The second option allows you to adapt the user-interface to your taste. (This toolbar is not available under Mac OS.)

The "Look And Feel" is the general appearance and behaviour of the program.

Metal
CDE/Motif
Windows

When you select a new value for the Look and Feel the program changes its appearance immediately. 

Grid size

Items can be placed anywhere you want if this value is "1". Sometimes you might want tidier columns or rows of items whose coordinates are multiples of a larger number. You can set that value for all future views in this dialog. Alternatively you can change the grid size in a particular view, as described here.

If you press ENTER or click OK, the values are stored for the next time you start i2Brain.

These options are not specific to a project. They are stored in the (global) .ini-file.
