Preferences is grayed out (mac)

[Zaubertrank]

I'm using mac os x version 10.6.8.  For some reason the preferences option in the CodeBlocks menu is grayed out, how do I access it?  Thanks.

What menu item exactly?

It's the CodeBlocks Menu, The menu just to the right of the  menu.  The menu item just says preferences, just like every application has a preferences item.

C::B doesn't have such menu item, at least on windows/linux.
We have Settings menu:)

Hmm.. ok I have a settings menu too, maybe that's where they have relegated all the options one would usually find in preferences.  Thanks for your help.
