Common NetSurf user options

|
|
This document outlines the common configuration options supported by
|
|
the NetSurf core.
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
The users configurations are generally stored in a "Choices" file and
|
|
are loaded at browser startup. Most user interfaces provide a way
|
|
to configure these parameters in a manner consistant with the
|
|
toolkit in use.
|
|
|
|
The user choices are stored as a simple key:value list.
|
|
|
|
Each entry has a type, one of: boolean, integer, unsigned integer,
|
|
hexadecimal colour value or string.

follow this as it slows page fetches down considerably.
