NOTE: For more information on the right mouse menu, see "Features for Disabled Access" on page 6-6.
See "Adjusting Font Size with Magnification" on page 6-6 for another way to change the on-screen fonts.
You can also change the color of the highlighting. Click on the Change button, which opens the standard color window. See "Current Anchor Highlighting" on page 4-3 for additional information.
Changing the color of the fonts is done in the Anchors menu (select Preferences... on the Options menu). See "Fonts" on page 4-11 for detailed information.
Adjusting Font Size with Magnification
The plus and minus keys (+, -) on your keyboard are directly linked to a magnification feature that proportionally adjusts the size of all fonts to a maximum of five times their original size. Press the plus (+) key to increase the size of the current font settings. Press the minus key (-) to decrease the current font settings.Font Size
You can change fonts in two ways:
For example, suppose you want to change the size of the Normal font. The easiest way is to right mouse click on some normal text and select Change Normal Font from the right mouse menu. Mosaic opens the Font menu where you set the size and color of the font. When you click OK, Mosaic changes the font and saves your preference setting.Background Color
The background color can be changed from the General menu (select Preferences... on the Options menu). Click on Background Color to open the color palette window. Select the desired color and click OK. Your new color is saved as your preference.Anchor Highlighting
NCSA Mosaic has three choices for highlighting anchors: framed, button, or hatched. Select the one you prefer using from the Anchors menu (select Preferences... on the Options menu). For more information see "Current Anchor Highlighting" on page 4-3.Anchor Color
Mosaic lets you mark the three anchor types (unvisited, visited, and cached) for easy recognition. Unvisited anchors represent the documents you haven't visited (viewed) and by default are colored blue. Visited anchors represent documents that you have already visited and are colored red. Cached anchors are visited anchors with a copy of the document residing locally in your disk cache. By default, cached anchors are green.Audio
In the audio preferences menu, you can associate .wav audio files with up to twenty-five common Mosaic commands. See "Audio" on page 4-4 for detailed information.Context Sensitive Menus
The right mouse button contains context sensitive menus. See "Features for Disabled Access" on page 6-6.Pen Movement
Mosaic recognizes pen movements. When the middle mouse button is clicked, Mosaic is sensitive to mouse movements as input commands:
To activate this feature, include the command line switch -pen to your Mosaic icon properties (see "-pen" on page 5-16). The next time you open Mosaic it will be movement sensitive when you depress the middle mouse button.
