User Interface
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
[TOC]
|
|
|
|
Netsurf is divided into a series of frontends which provide a user
|
|
interface around common core functionality. Each frontend is a
|
|
distinct implementation for a specific GUI toolkit.
|
|
|
|
Because of this the user interface has different features in
|
|
each frontend allowing the browser to be a native application.
|
|
|
|
# Frontends
|
|
|
|
As GUI toolkits are often applicable to a single Operating
|
|
System (OS) some frontends are named for their OS instead of the
|
|
toolkit e.g. RISC OS WIMP frontend is named riscos and the Windows
|
|
win32 frontend is named windows.

# User configuration
|
|
|
|
The behaviour of the browser can be changed from the defaults with a
|
|
configuration file. The [core user options](docs/netsurf-options.md)
|
|
of the browser are common to all versions and are augmented by each
|
|
frontend in a specific manner.
