Does anyone know of a way to increase the number of recent projects shown in the start window? It will only show 5 of my projects, but there is room for several more. I would like to be able to see all my projects. It might depend on how recent is defined by RW. I have poked around and see nowhere to increase the number of projects to show on startup.

This is a system-wide preference - you can change it in System Preferences under “General”.

Do you mean on my Mac itself or in RW?

Your Mac’s System Preferences app - this is a preference that applies system-wide (i.e. every app on your Mac).
