</ul>

<h2 id="content">Appearance Preferences - Content</h2>
<p>This section describes how to use the Content preferences panel.
If you're not already viewing it, follow these steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Open the <span class="mac">&brandShortName;</span>
<span class="noMac">Edit</span> menu and choose Preferences.</li>
<li>Under the Appearance category, click Content. (If no
subcategories are visible, double-click Appearance to expand the
list.)</li>
</ol>
<p>The Content preferences panel allows you to change settings that influence
how website and message content appears in &brandShortName;.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Website icons</strong>:
<ul>
<li><strong>Show website icons</strong>: Select this if you want see
site-specific icons, if available, in place of the bookmark icon
<img src="chrome://communicator/skin/bookmarks/bookmark-item.png"
alt="Bookmark item icon"/>. Website icons are shown to the left of the
Location Bar and Browser tabs.</li>
<li><strong>Aggressively look for website icons when the page doesn't
define one</strong>: If the page itself does not define a website
icon, turning on this setting makes &brandShortName; look for a
"favicon" on the server and use that instead.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Scrolling</strong>:
<ul>
<li><strong>Use autoscrolling</strong>: Select this to enable
autoscrolling. Clicking the middle mouse button (usually the scroll
wheel) lets you scroll the content by moving the mouse around.</li>
<li><strong>Use smooth scrolling</strong>: Select this to enable smooth
scrolling. Pressing the Page Down key when this is enabled
will—instead of an immediate jump—smoothly scroll the
content down to the next page.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Zoom options</strong>:
<ul>
<li><strong>Range from [__] to [__] %</strong>: Defines the range of zoom
levels observed when opening the Zoom menu from the View main menu or
when using the <a href="cs_nav_prefs_advanced.xhtml#mouse_wheel">mouse
wheel</a> or the
<a href="shortcuts_navigator.xhtml#page_viewing_shortcuts"> keyboard
shortcuts</a> to increase or decrease the zoom. <strong>Note</strong>:
after changing these values, they become effective only for
<em>new</em> windows, not in the ones which are already open.</li>
<li><strong>Zoom only text instead of full pages</strong>: Select this if
you want &brandShortName; to only resize text of websites when using
the "Zoom" function. If this is not selected, the whole page,
including images, will be zoomed.</li>
<li><strong>Remember zoom levels on a per-site basis</strong>: Select
this if you want the system to remember the specific zoom level for
each website you visit.</li>
<li><strong>Resize large images to fit in the browser window</strong>:
Select this if you want &brandShortName; to automatically shrink large
stand-alone images so they will fit in the browser window. Clicking on
the resized image will make it appear at full size.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Use hardware acceleration when available</strong>: Select this to
let &brandShortName; use hardware acceleration (if available) to render web
sites. If you experience problems with the visual presentation of web
content, disabling hardware acceleration may solve the issue.</li>
<li><strong>Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the
page</strong>: Select this to let &brandShortName; block automatic meta
redirection (HTTP-EQUIV=refresh) requests by default. When a redirect is
supposed to be executed, a notification bar is shown instead which allows
you to permit the redirect on a case-by-case basis.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: See the separate preferences panels for colors, fonts
and languages to further customize content appearance and the Privacy &
Security section for privacy-related settings that also might influence how
content appears to you.</p>
