GUI Settings
There's 4 sections to the GUI settings window. Each are present as pages,
just click on the exposed tags of each page to move to them. Here's how they
work;
-
- Layout
- The only gadget present is Action Buttons. This only has three
settings. They control the look of the Action Buttons at the top of the
Voyager control panel. By default this is set up for Text and Icons so that
the Action Buttons will be comprised of picture icons with a descriptive
line of text labelling each one. Obviously text only means the buttons will
be only made out of text and Icon's only does away with the text line. This
function is useful if your screen is fairly small such as PAL screenmode
users.
- Color
- This page allows you to customise the colours of various
aspects of
Voyager. The background color is the colour of the standard background
Voyager uses when no background image is present in a HTML page. Text color
is the default text color normally being black. Link color is the color of
a link which hasn't been seen yet, normally red. Followed Link color is the
color of a link to a page which has already been seen, normally blue. Image
Link color is the color of the text shown before an Image is loaded,
normally grey. Click on the color bar will bring up a palette GUI which
enables precise control of the color used.
- Fonts
- This page allows you to change the fonts used by Voyager to render
the text in the HTML pages. Pay specific attention to the increasing fonts
sizes of the Headline fonts. They are usually preportional which gives a
more pleasing result than a non preportional font. The so-called Fixed Font
must be a non-preportional font since this is used where this effect is
relied upon to format text in a prespecified way.
- Links
- Finally the links page allows editing of the Home Page and Fast
Links. The Home Page URL entered here will be the first page Voyager
attempts to load when first started. This URL will also be navigated to when
you click on the Home Action Button. The Fast Links represent the entries
for the Fast Link buttons on the bottom of the control panel. Note that
these can be turned off by the Show Fastlinks switch in the settings menu.
The Label will be the text shown on the buttons while the URL text box
refers to the URL Voyager will attempt to load when that Fast Link is
clicked upon.
