The behaviour and looks of Ristretto can be modified, mostly through options displayed in the Preferences Dialog.
The Preferences dialog allows a user to configure different aspects of Ristretto.
These options are grouped under the following tabs:
The preferences dialog can be opened through Menu → Edit → Preferences

As of version 0.13.0, Ristretto allows you to print an image. The settings for printing are treated separately, in the file ~/.config/ristretto/print-settings
. Carry out a printing operation to the end (you can print in a file), and Ristretto will fill in the configuration file with the values set in the print dialog.
By default, Ristretto will ask thunar to pop-up the file-properties dialog. This way, you'll have the advantage of all of thunar's plugins that extend it's file-properties dialog beyond it's native functionality. Aswell as a consistent look-and-feel throughout the xfce desktop.
However, there are some cases where you want Ristretto not to use Thunar, but go for the build-in dialog all the times. This can be the case when you have Thunar installed, but don't use it. Launching the file-properties dialog from Ristretto will then cause Thunar to be launched, making it a pretty expensive dialog.
Being a somewhat advanced feature, this option is not exposed through the preferences-dialog, and can only be enabled through the xfconf command-line utility xfconf-query. This can be done as follows:
$ xfconf-query -c ristretto -p /window/use-thunar-properties -n -t bool -s false
The internal file-properties dialog will look like this:
