You can change the appearance of the Browser to suit your preferences.

 

Here's How

  1. Open the Browser Options window. (Remind me how.)

  2. Select the Appearance category.

    Select Appearance

    The Appearance options appear. This pane allows you to change the look of the Browser and the Sign-In window. (This setting does not affect the look of Messenger, which has its own appearance setting.)

  3. To change the colour and style of the Browser's borders and graphics, click the Change Skin button.

    Click Change Skin

    The Skin Chooser appears.

    Skin Chooser

    The name of the selected skin appears at the top along with an example of that skin.

  4. To see an example of another skin, such as Classic, select it from the pull-down list.

    Select Another Skin

  5. Select the skin you want to use, and then click the OK button.

    The change takes effect immediately.

  6. To change the size of the text that appears on web pages in the Browser, click a point on the Web Page Text slide bar.

  7. Click the Test button.

    Click Test

    The size of the text on the web page behind the Browser Options window changes to the size you selected.

    Tip: Move the Browser Options window around, if necessary, to see the change.

  8. Under Web Page Graphics:

    • To display images and play sounds on a web page, check the box next to Show pictures and sounds associated with Web pages.
    • To resize images automatically to fit in your Browser window, check the box next to Enable Automatic Image Resizing.

    Select Graphics Options

  9. To change the size of the icons on the Browser, select either Small Icons or Large Icons.

    The size of the icons does not change until you click the OK button.

  10. When you finish specifying your preferences, click the OK button.

    Click OK

    You return to the Browser.
