Browser 2: Appearance

On this settings page, you can change the way links are displayed.

Change the colour of links

To change the colour of a link, select the appropriate row in the list. There are three different colours:

Unfollowed link: This colour is used for links that you haven't selected yet.
Followed link: Links to pages you have visited before are shown in this colour.
Selected link: This is the highlight colour a link will have when you click it.

Then press the Change colour button, this will pop up a colour requester. Note that this colour requester (as opposed to the Palette colour requester) does not change the screen's palette. Instead, it picks the colour from the available palette that fits best to the selected colour values. Internally, the 24 bit colour values are stored, and for every screen AWeb opens on the best fitting colours are determined.

Change the underlining

The checkbox determines whether links should be displayed underlined or not. If underlined is selected, unfollowed links are underlined with a solid line, and followed links will have a dashed line.

If this checkbox is selected, images that are links have a border in the appropriate colour.

Change the cycle field

Many people use a commodity that turns cycle gadgets into popup menus. Read here why this is not a good idea. Because a cycle gadget certainly has its drawbacks, AWeb offers the possibility to display a cycle field in a form as a list. Note that selection fields with more than 5 selections, or with multiple selections, are always turned into a list.

If this checkbox is selected, all selection fields are displayed as lists, even those with less than 5 selections.
