(logo)  Screen 1: Screen

On this settings page, you can specify on which screen AWeb should open its windows.

Using the chooser, you can make AWeb to open on the default public screen, a named public screen, or let AWeb open its own public screen.

Default public screen

If this is selected, AWeb will open its windows on the default public screen. Usually this is the Workbench screen.

Named public screen

AWeb will open its windows on a public screen that is not necessarily the default. You can enter the screen name you want AWeb to open on.

If the screen doesn't exist when AWeb starts, the default public screen is used instead.

Own public screen

Using this selection, AWeb will open its own public screen. The name of this screen is AWeb.

Clicking the O button will pop up a standard screen mode requester. Here you can select a screen mode, width, height and number of colours.

Load spread palette

If this checkbox is selected, AWeb will load a palette for the screen. This palette contains an even spread of colours, that will be used by all images. Using this feature avoids distortion of the palette that happens if one image takes up all colours, leaving no reasonable colours for next images.

AWeb will never load such a palette for screens with more than 256 colours. Those screens will be on a graphics card that is assumed to accomodate "enough" colours for all possible images.

Please be aware that 256 colours (or less) is not many. Although AWeb tries to calculate an evenly spread palette, still many images will look suboptimal. If you don't load the palette, the first few images look great, but later images may look even worse.
