Delay Image Loading

Delayed image loading is for users with slow network connections. When this toggle button is activated, Mosaic substitutes a small icon for inlined-images, plus an arrow icon for inlined-images which also act as hyperlinks. Clicking on an icon tells Mosaic to load that inlined-image, while clicking on the arrow is equivalent to following the associated hyperlink. Selecting Load Images in Current from the Options menu loads and displays all of the inlined-images in the current document. Delayed image loading can also be selected with the '-dil' command-line flag, or with the delayImageLoads resource.

Progressive Image Loading

Enables/disables Mosaic's progressive loading feature. When disabled, nothing on a page will be displayed until the page is fully loaded.

Clear Global History

Erases the personal history record Mosaic stores in order to mark previously visited links accordingly. The default file in which the history record is saved is "MOSAIC.X-HISTORY" in the user's home directory. Once the global history record is cleared, all hyperlinks will be marked unvisited.

Fonts (12 choices)

You can change VMS Mosaic's font choices on the fly via these menu options. The fonts in the Options menu are all fairly common and should be on any reasonable X server (X11R4 or above). If you create a new Document View window (e.g., through cloning or through the Window Per Document feature), its set of fonts will be inherited from the previous window.

Anchor Underlines (5 choices)

You can change VMS Mosaic's anchor (or hyperlink) underline states on the fly via these menu options.

Agents Spoofs

Allows the selection of which agent Mosaic claims to be when it connects to an HTTP server. The first selection is the standard Mosaic agent. Additional agents can be added via the file "MOSAIC-SPOOF-AGENTS.".
