User Interface ============== [TOC] Netsurf is divided into a series of frontends which provide a user interface around common core functionality. Each frontend is a distinct implementation for a specific GUI toolkit. Because of this the user interface has different features in each frontend allowing the browser to be a native application. # Frontends As GUI toolkits are often applicable to a single Operating System (OS) some frontends are named for their OS instead of the toolkit e.g. RISC OS WIMP frontend is named riscos and the Windows win32 frontend is named windows. ## amiga Frontend specific to the amiga ## atari Frontend specific to the atari ## beos Frontend specific to the Haiku OS ## framebuffer There is a basic user guide for the [framebuffer](docs/using-framebuffer.md) ## gtk Frontend that uses the GTK+2 or GTK+3 toolkit ## monkey This is the internal unit test frontend. There is a basic user guide [monkey](docs/using-monkey.md) ## riscos Frontend for the RISC OS WIMP toolkit. ## windows Frontend which uses the Microsodt win32 GDI toolkit. # User configuration The behaviour of the browser can be changed from the defaults with a configuration file. The [core user options](docs/netsurf-options.md) of the browser are common to all versions and are augmented by each frontend in a specific manner.
