<title>Browsing With &konqueror;</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>The &konqueror; Browser module of &kcontrol; allows you to select
|
|
various options for the appearance and behavior of &konqueror;, the
|
|
integrated web browser of &tde;.</para>
|
|
|
|
<sect2 id="kbrowse-html">
|
|
|
|
<title>Behavior</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>The first option you can enable on this page is <guilabel>Enable
|
|
completion of forms</guilabel>. If you check this box, &konqueror; will
|
|
try to remember what you answer to form questions, and will try to fill
|
|
in forms for you with the answers you previously used.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>You can configure the number of form items &konqueror; remembers
|
|
with the slider below labelled <guilabel>Maximum
|
|
completions</guilabel></para>
|
|
|
|
<note><para>Of course, anything &konqueror; fills in a form with, you
|
|
can still edit before submitting the form!</para></note>
|
|
|
|
<para>The next option is <guilabel>Change cursor over
|
|
links</guilabel>. If this option is selected, the shape of the cursor
|
|
will change (usually to a hand) whenever it moves over a
|
|
hyperlink. This makes it easy to identify links, especially when they
|
|
are in the form of images.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>&konqueror; defaults to a single window per page, but has the
|
|
capability to open multiple <firstterm>tabs</firstterm> inside a
|
|
single window. &konqueror; also, by default, has a &MMB; shortcut to
|
|
open any link in a new window. If you enable <guilabel>Open links in
|
|
new tab instead of in new window</guilabel> you can &MMB; click on a
|
|
link to have it open in a new tab.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If you are using tabbed browsing, you can choose if a newly
|
|
opened tab becomes the active (<quote>front</quote>) tab, or goes to
|
|
the back. On a slow internet connection, or while browsing a page
|
|
that has a list of headlines or other links in a list, you may like to
|
|
have the new tabs load in the background while you continue reading.
|
|
In this case, leave this setting disabled. If you prefer to go
|
|
straight to the new page, leaving the old one in the background to
|
|
return to later, enable it.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If you close a window in &konqueror; that has multiple tabs
|
|
open, &konqueror; will ask you if you're sure that you meant to close
|
|
it. You can toggle on and off this behavior with the
|
|
<guilabel>Confirm when closing windows with multiple tabs</guilabel>
|
|
checkbox.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>As a convenience feature, if you enable <guilabel>Right click
|
|
goes back in history</guilabel>, then clicking an empty area (&ie; not
|
|
a link) in the &konqueror; window will act as if you pressed the
|
|
<guiicon>Back</guiicon> button on the toolbar.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The checkbox labeled <guilabel>Automatically load
|
|
images</guilabel>, allows you to control whether images on web pages are
|
|
loaded by default. Unless you have a very slow connection, you will
|
|
probably want to leave this option selected, as there are many web pages
|
|
that are difficult to use without images. If you don't select the option
|
|
to automatically load images, you can still view the text on the page,
|
|
and then load the images if you need them.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Enabling <guilabel>Allow automatic delayed
|
|
reloading/redirecting</guilabel> allows websites to send you to
|
|
another page without your interaction. In many cases, this is a
|
|
convenience. For example, the website has moved to a new
|
|
<acronym>URL</acronym>. Many webmasters in this situation will put up
|
|
a page on the old site, telling you that it has moved and you may like
|
|
to change your bookmark, and then automatically move you along to the
|
|
new website. However, such features can be confusing, or annoying,
|
|
when misused, and so you may wish to disable it.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The next setting is <guilabel>Underline links:</guilabel>. You can
|
|
choose to underline links <guilabel>Always</guilabel>. If this option
|
|
is selected, any text on web pages that acts as a link will be shown in
|
|
an underlined font. While many web pages do use color to distinguish
|
|
text that acts as a link, underlining makes it very easy to spot
|
|
links.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If you don't like underlined links, you can choose
|
|
<guilabel>Never</guilabel>, so that no links are underlined. Or you
|
|
can choose a middle ground, <guilabel>Hover</guilabel>, so that links
|
|
are underlined when the mouse cursor is resting over them, and not
|
|
underlined the rest of the time.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Many web pages use animated gif images, and these can be very
|
|
annoying, and in some cases, quite a drain on your system resources.
|
|
The <guilabel>Animations</guilabel> option lets you choose when
|
|
animations are enabled. The default is enabled, but you can set this
|
|
to disabled, or to run the animation only once, even if the file
|
|
itself contains instructions that the animation should run more times,
|
|
or continuously.</para>

<title>Fonts</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Under this tab, you can select various options related to the use
|
|
of fonts. Although the shapes and sizes of fonts are often part of the
|
|
design of a web page, you can select some default settings for
|
|
&konqueror; to use.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The first thing you can set here is the font size. There are two
|
|
settings which work together to allow you a comfortable browsing
|
|
experience.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Firstly, you can set a <guilabel>Minimum Font Size</guilabel>.
|
|
This means, even if the font size is set specifically in the page you
|
|
are viewing, &konqueror; will ignore that instruction and never show
|
|
smaller fonts than you set here.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Next you can set a <guilabel>Medium Font Size</guilabel>. This is
|
|
not only the default size of text, used when the page doesn't specify
|
|
sizes, but it is also used as the base size that relative font sizes are
|
|
calculated against. That is, the <acronym>HTML</acronym> instruction
|
|
<quote>smaller</quote>, it means smaller than the size you set for this
|
|
option.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>For either option, you can select the exact font size in points by
|
|
using the up/down spin control (or just typing) next to the option
|
|
label.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>These options are independent of each other. Pages that do not
|
|
set a font size, or ask for the default, will display with the size
|
|
you set from <guilabel>Medium Font Size</guilabel>, while any pages
|
|
that ask for a size smaller than your <guilabel>Minimum Font
|
|
Size</guilabel> setting will instead show that size. The one does not
|
|
affect the other.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The remaining options are for the fonts to be associated with
|
|
different types of markup used in <acronym>HTML</acronym> pages. Note
|
|
that many web pages may override these settings. If you click anywhere
|
|
on a control which shows a font name, a list of font names appears, and
|
|
you can select a different font if you like. (If there are a lot of
|
|
fonts, a vertical scrollbar appears in the list to allow you to scroll
|
|
through all of the fonts.)</para>
|
|
<!--
|
|
<para>You can set a font for each <quote>type</quote> of markup, for
|
|
each <guilabel>Charset</guilabel>, by changing the character set in the
|
|
first drop down box, and then selecting a font for each category below.
|
|
This would take quite some time, so you may just want to set up the
|
|
fonts for your default character set. Most English speaking users will
|
|
use iso8859-1</para>
|
|
-->
|
|
<para>Below this, you can set a <guilabel>Font size adjustment for this
|
|
encoding</guilabel>. Sometimes the fonts you want to use for a
|
|
particular encoding or language are much larger or smaller than average,
|
|
so you can use this setting to bring them into line.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>You can set a default encoding that &konqueror; should assume
|
|
pages are when rendering them. The default setting is <guilabel>Use
|
|
language encoding</guilabel>, but you can change it to any encoding
|
|
available in the list.</para>

<title>&Java; and JavaScript</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>&Java; allows applications to be downloaded and run by a web
|
|
browser, provided you have the necessary software installed on your
|
|
machine. Many web sites make use of &Java; (for example, online
|
|
banking services or interactive gaming sites). You should be aware
|
|
that running programs from unknown sources could pose a threat to the
|
|
security of your computer, even if the potential extent of the damage
|
|
is not great.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The checkboxes under <guilabel>Global Settings</guilabel> allows
|
|
you to turn &Java; support on for all web sites by default. You can
|
|
also select to turn &Java; on or off for specific hosts. To add a
|
|
policy for a specific host, click the <guilabel>Add...</guilabel>
|
|
button to bring up a dialog in which you can type the host name and
|
|
then choose to accept or reject &Java; code from that particular host,
|
|
which will add the domain to the list on the left of the page.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>You can select a host in the list, and click the
|
|
<guilabel>Change...</guilabel> button to choose a different policy for
|
|
that host. Clicking the <guilabel>Delete</guilabel> button removes the
|
|
policy for the selected host; after deletion, the global settings will
|
|
then apply to that host. You can import policies from a file by clicking
|
|
the <guilabel>Import...</guilabel> button. To save the current list to a
|
|
compressed archive file, click the <guilabel>Export...</guilabel>
|
|
button.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Finally, the group of controls labeled <guilabel>Java Runtime
|
|
Settings</guilabel> allows you to set some options for the way in
|
|
which &Java; should run. These options are useful for diagnosing
|
|
problems, or if you are a &Java; developer, and should not normally
|
|
need adjusting.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If you select the <guilabel>Show Java
|
|
Console</guilabel> option, &konqueror; will open a console window from
|
|
which &Java; applications can read and write text. While most &Java;
|
|
applications will not require such a console, it could be helpful in
|
|
diagnosing problems with &Java; applications.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><guilabel>Use KIO</guilabel> will cause the
|
|
<acronym>JVM</acronym>to use &tde;'s own <acronym>KIO</acronym>
|
|
transports for network connections.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><guilabel>Use security
|
|
manager</guilabel> is normally enabled by default. This setting will
|
|
cause the <acronym>JVM</acronym> to run with a Security Manager in place. This will keep
|
|
applets from being able to read and write to your file system, creating
|
|
arbitrary sockets, and other actions which could be used to compromise
|
|
your system. Disable this option at your own risk. You can modify your <filename>$<envar>HOME</envar>/.java.policy</filename> file with the
|
|
&Java; policytool utility to give code downloaded from certain sites
|
|
more permissions.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <guilabel>Shutdown Applet Server when inactive</guilabel>
|
|
checkbox allows you to save resources by closing the &Java; Applet
|
|
Server when it is not in use, rather than leaving it running in the
|
|
background. Leaving this disabled may make &Java; applets start up
|
|
faster, but it will use system resources when you are not using a
|
|
&Java; applet. If you enable this, you can set a timeout.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>You can either opt to have &konqueror; automatically detect the
|
|
&Java; installation on your system, or specify the path to the
|
|
installation yourself by selecting <guilabel>Use user-specified
|
|
Java</guilabel>. You may want to choose the latter method, for
|
|
instance, if you have multiple &Java; installations on your system,
|
|
and want to specify which one to use. If the &Java; Virtual Machine
|
|
you are using requires any special startup options, you can type them
|
|
in the text box labeled <guilabel>Additional Java

Arguments</guilabel>.</para>
