This web application is a companion to my metadata-viewer preset
builder, and allows you to take advantage of undocumented aspects of
Adobe Lightroom to configure it in ways beyond what the standard user
interface allows for.
Please see the introduction and
instructions if this is your first time.
The configuration parameters have been grouped into four sections
presented below; click on the group names to view each section and make any
changes you like. Once changes have been made, follow the instructions
below the configuration groups.
Metadata Viewer Labels(has changes)
These are the labels used in the Library module's Metadata Viewer. You can use my
Metadata Viewer Preset Builder to build custom presets holding different collections of these items,
but unfortunately, the label renaming is global, and not on a per-preset basis.

Screen Space(has changes)

Fonts and Text Sizes(has changes)
For fonts, select from among the standard Lightroom fonts, or
type in the name of a custom font you know to exist on your system.
(You can see the list of fonts available
from within Lightroom by looking at the list provided on the Identity
Plate Editor).
Font sizes can be fractional.
The selections presented below might seem a bit wonky, but that's the

Once you're done making selections above, fill in the form at right
(if you like) and click the “Generate Configuration File”
button. All form fields are optional, and except for the email, are
simply for documenting the config file.
Enter your email address if you wish to be informed of changes that might impact the functionality of your configuration file. It will not be shared.
Because of the undocumented and unsupported nature of this
configuration method, there may be unknown risks, and so before receiving
complete instructions on how to install your configuration, you must first
answer a few questions properly to indicate that you understand the
unsupported and theoretically risky natures involved:
