The system preferences

The last option in the "View" menu calls up the system preferences dialog.

The default page size

This page size is the page size used by the options in the resize menu to alter the current applet size.

The Origin options

Every applet has an "author" parameter which the user can set provided the software is registered. The AppletPainter code checks that this author parameter is not changed by editing the HTML. If it is the applet won't run.

In addition it's possible to require that an applet only work if it comes from a given URL. The URL string the user can specify is the prefix which the originating URL must have if the applet is to run. This prevents an applet being copied and run on another server. The UR: prefix can be as detailed as you like.

HTML

The webpage color option specifies if the HTML that AppletPainter generates automatically makes the webpage the same color as the applet background. This is useful if the applet is the only thing on the page.

The "No java message" is the message to be placed in the HTML before the ending "applet" tag to be shown by a browser if the applet can't be run.
