The halos on SystemWindows and components are not enabeled by default
which is good.
(I tried ctrl-click, alt-click, left-click, right-click on Windows 7).

With the 'World menu' / 'Help' / 'Preferences' I can set certain
preferences. I could not find how to switch on halos.

Note:
I was looking for the preferences in the 'Appearance' menu first,
later I found it in the 'Help' menu. I am used to find read-only
information in a help menu only not actually dialog where I configure
the system.
