NCSA Mosaic for the X Window System

# Mosaic Configuration

NCSA Mosaic for the X Window system can be configured by standard X means. Documented X resources control the behavior of many Mosaic functions, as well as colors and fonts. Command-line flags perform a few of the same functions as X resources. Certain text files also control some features.

The following documentation is available:

- X Resources
  - Functional Resources control the look and feel of Mosaic, and provide Mosaic with some system-specific information.
  - Visual Resources mostly control the appearance of anchors (hyperlinks).
  - Font Resources define the default font Mosaic uses.
- Command-Line Flags
- Multimedia Configuration
  - How Mosaic's multimedia configuration works
  - Information on mapping MIME types to external viewers.
  - Information on mapping file extensions to MIME types.
  - Information on allowing shell scripts to be executed via hyperlinks.
- Creating a configurable Documents menu
