Changing appearance
To get to this panel, press the button Config in JonDo's main window, then choose the entry
User Interface from the list to the left.
In this dialog you can make changes to the appearance, language and message
display of JonDo.
Appearance
JonDo supports different themes for windows and elements.
Language
Here you can change the language in which elements, dialogs and menus
appear.
A restart of JonDo is needed for changes to take effect. You will be asked
to do so.
Look&Feel
Look&Feel determines the overall graphical appearance of the
program. This includes the appearance of buttons, windows, text fields and
other graphical elements. Look&Feel depends on the OS you use. With
this list you are given the option of customizing JonDo to your desire.
Plus, you can add new Look&Feel themes by downloading them from the
Internet and importing them in JonDo. They are not JonDo-specific, i.e. you
may theoretically use any theme compatible with Java Swing. Please remember
that some of JonDo's elements may not be compatible with a given
Look&Feel. You can revert settings anytime though if you encounter
problems.
Import
New Look&Feels may be found on www.javootoo.com e.g. Just download
the themes you want and click Import afterwards. A file browser
will open. Navigate to the location of the newly downloaded
Look&Feel package and choose the .jar file. An alert message
will inform you whether the result was a success. If it was, you may
now select the new theme from the list.
Delete
This will delete the selected Look&Feel. You can only delete those
you added yourself.
Font size
Here you can change the font size of the user interface elements.
Display mode of JonDo
- Extended View
Extended View shows all options.
- Simplified View
Simplified View will not show some advanced options that may be confusing
for unexperienced users. The basic functionality of the program does not
change thereby.
- Mini View always on top
Fixates the JonDo Mini View on top of all
other windows. If unchecked, the Mini View
will be hidden behind other active windows.
- Ignore DLL update warnings
If activated, no warning will be given when a more recent DLL version is
available.
The DLL is a library of functions in the Windows environment for visual
improvement and more convenient operation.
Program startup
- After start of JAP/JonDo...
If you activate this option, you will be given two further possible
options:
- ...show the minimal view
This option will show Mini View immediately after starting.
- ...move JAP/JonDo into the systray
If this option is selected, JonDo minimizes to the Windows systray
immediately after starting. This function is not available on all
OS and requires an operating system specific DLL.
Splash screen toggle
If you don't want to see the splash screen when starting and quitting the
program you can deactivate this option. Reactivate to see the screen
again.
Start browser when connecting (only JonDo Portable)
If you have started JonDo Portable with the commandline option
--portable <Path to browser> and the given browser has
been found, it will automatically be started when this option is activated.
However, your browser will not start until you have established a
connection to an anonymization service. If you prefer the browser to not
start automatically, deactivate this option.
Path to Help
For optimal accessibility your default browser will be used for displaying
the help pages. This requires the help files to be saved somewhere on your
harddisk or another media. The setting allows changing the path to these
files.
If you click the panel Move a dialog will open
which allows you to set the path to the help pages. Notice: With JonDo
Portable and on some OS this path can not be changed.
Path to web browser
This options is only available in JonDo Portable.
JonDo Portable automatically looks for a portable JonDoFox or Firefox. It is
referenced by JonDo Portable to open web links and help files. If you would
like to configure the path to the (portable) browser yourself, you may do this
here. Just choose a browser executable file like iexplore.exe, opera.exe or
firefox.exe from a local drive (Windows examples). Notice: The chosen
browser is NOT automatically configured for the usage of JonDo thereby. If you
do not use JonDoFox, you have to configure the
browser yourself.
The path is always stored relative to the execution directory of
JonDo Portable. It is thereby also valid on alien computer systems if the
browser is located on the same portable device as JonDo Portable (e.g. a USB
flash drive).
Remember location
This option is only available in the Expert
View.
If you check one of the following boxes the corresponding JonDo window will
reappear at the position where it was when you closed JonDo. This applies to
the following windows:
- Main View
- Settings
- Mini View
Remember size
This option is only available in the Expert
View.
- Configuration window
Checking this box will make JonDo remember the size of the settings window.
Program shutdown
This option is only available in the Expert
View.
- Show warning when closing JAP/JonDo
When checked, JonDo displays a warning when closing the program which tells
you to reconfigure your browser's proxy settings in order to continue
surfing the web.

Restrictions for the Dresden (JAP) anonymisation servers
After careful consideration we have decided to restrict the size of downloads over the Dresden (JAP) mixes a little. The reason is to allow a more fair use of scarce resources of our servers especially for users who simply want to surf the Web. more...
