Preferences, Web Tab

Web Content

These settings define how DEVONagent Pro treats special Web contents.

  • Icon
    Enable plugins: Check this option to use installed third-party plugins, e.g., Flash or RealPlayer.
  • Icon
    Enable Java: Check this option to run Java applets contained in or linked to webpages.
  • Icon
    Enable JavaScript: Check this option to run JavaScript scripts contained in webpages.
  • Icon
    Block pop-up windows: Check this option to block pop-up windows, which are often advertisements. Uncheck this option if the webpage you're visiting uses pop-up windows for actual content (which ome Web content management systems do).
  • Icon
    Only automatic JavaScript windows: Check this option to block only pop-up windows opened by JavaScript, instead of all pop-ups.
  • Icon
    Block zooming: Check this option to keep JavaScript from zooming the web browser window to full screen.
  • Icon
    Block advertisment: Check this option to block common inline advertisements provided by major search engines.
  • Icon
    Zoom text only: Check to scale only the text when zooming in and out of webpages. If unchecked, DEVONagent Pro uses Safari-4-style zooming.

Images

Use these otions to define how DEVONagent Pro displays graphics in webpages.

  • Icon
    Display images when the page opens: Check this option to diplay webpages with images or uncheck to load them without images. If unchecked, you may miss some information on graphic-oriented pages.
  • Icon
    Animate images: Check this option to run animated graphics; uncheck it to show the items statically.
  • Icon
    Loop animations of images: Check this to run animated graphics in a loop.

Accept Cookies

Cookies are little text files with information that webpages store on your computer to recognize you as a returning customer. While most cookies are harmless, you may want to control what is being stored on your hard disk.

  • Icon
    Always: Accepts all cookies.
  • Icon
    Never: Doesn't accept any cookies
  • Icon
    Only from sites you navigate to: Accepts cookies, but only from websites you navigate to, not from other sites, e.g., ad trackers.
  • Icon
    Delete cookies on quit: Deletes all stored cookies when you quit DEVONagent Pro.

Note: Delete cookies on quit deletes the cookies for all WebKit-based web browsers including Safari. All these browsers use the same single cookie file.

Standard/Fixed-width font

Set the font you want to use for displaying webpages separately for variable-width and fixed-width text. Holding the ⌥Option key changes the Select buttons to Reset for resetting the font to the factory default.

(Feed) Style Sheet

You can further control the way DEVONagent Pro displays webpages by applying a CSS style sheed for changing the rendering on-the-fly.

  • Icon
    Style Sheet: Click Select and choose your own style sheet to apply it.
  • Icon
    Feed Style Sheet: DEVONagent Pro comes with a number of different style sheets for Atom/RSS/JSON news feeds. Choose your preferred style. You can use your own CSS styles for news feeds by placing them in '~/Library/Application Support/DEVONagent/StyleSheets' (restart DEVONagent Pro if necessary).

Note: Applying an external CSS style sheet to webpages is an expert option. It heavily affects the rendering of all webpages in DEVONagent Pro, though it does not interfere with the search functionality of DEVONagent Pro.

Text Encoding

Select your desired text encoding for displaying webpages. Generally the default setting, Automatic should work fine. If not, choose a more appropriate text encoding for your language.

WebKit Developer Extras

Enable to use the standard WebKit developers extras in web browser, e.g., the element inspector or the JavaScript console.
