This option defines the initial font size to be used when Glink is started. If a large font is selected, some part of the screen display may not be visible without scrolling to it.
The Auto value selects a font size that is readable and in most cases suitable for the screen size.
The Fit screen options adjust the Glink display to fit the screen size. In order to do that, the characters will be stretched or squeezed.
Here you may choose the display style for your chosen font (iOS only).
The cursor indicates the current screen position for the emulator (as opposed to the mouse cursor, which operates independently). This option is used to choose one of the three available cursor types — a block cursor, a horizontal line cursor, or a vertically bar cursor.
This option is used to change the cursor color if the default value is not optimal. The cursor color has most effect for the block cursor type. For block cursor the underlying character will either have a white or black color.
This option enables use of 3D effects for variable fields for those emulations that support the use of forms. You have four options, "On without attributes", "On with attributes", "On without underline" and "Show as underline". Normally a 3D field has white background, but you may keep the initial attributes set by the host for those input fields. The attributes can for example be specific background color or underlined text.
Here you may choose the cursor to blink. Please have in mind that a blinking cursor requires more resources, so screen updating and scrolling might look better without it.
This option forces the background of a 3D variable field to always be white regardless of the default background color selected.
Similar, if the host specific sets the background color for an input field, the background color will still be white.
if you want the foreground color to always be black, select the 3D variable fields option "On without attributes".
The toolbars can be shown vertically on the right side of the emulation screen if the Vertical option is selected, see Vertical toolbar options.
The Auto value means Multiline for the iPad and Single-line for the iPhone.
The Off value means that the toolbar is not shown by default.
The Vertical value means that the toolbar is shown on the righthand side of the screen (Vertical toolbar options).
Please note that you can change the number of buttons and the number of toolbar lines with the Toolbar setup function.
"x" limits only the number of columns, ",y" limits only the number of rows.
The Reset screen size sets the initial screen size, the Perform Enter does an Enter (Send) command.
The Toggle Action bar On/Off (On) and Toggle Action bar On/Off (Off) toggles the Action bar On or Off. In the latter case, the Action bar is initially hidden. When the Action bar is hidden, it can be handy to add an Enter button to the toolbar (acts as a connect command if the session is disconnected).
The Enable/Disable touchscreen (Enable) and Enable/Disable touchscreen (Disable) enables/disables the touch screen. In the latter case the touchscreen is initially disabled. When the touchscreen is disabled, both the Action bar and the Toolbar is hidden. External keyboard (keys) or scanner is not be disabled.
The hotspot options tell Glink to search for specific keywords on the screen and highlight these as push buttons and assign a function to each of them.
For example, if the F6 text is on the screen, it will be highlighted as a push button and the function F6 will be assigned to it and executed when tapped.
If Option numbers is enabled, text like 2. or 2= will be searched for and highlighted (the number only). If this hotspot is tapped, the number is added at the current cursor position. Optionally it can be followed by the Enter function to transmit it. Numbers larger than 99 is not converted to hotspots.
If the next Option numbers is enabled, numbers that are both proceeded and followed by a space will be searched for and highlighted. If this hotspot is tapped, the number is added at the current cursor position and optionally followed by an Enter function to transmit it. Numbers larger than 99 is not converted to hotspots.
If Option characters is enabled, characters followed by the = character will be highlighted. If this hotspot is tapped, the character(s) is added at the current cursor position and optionally followed by an Enter function to transmit it. For example S will be regarded as a hotspot for the text S=Search.
If URL address is enabled, URLs will be highlighted. If this hotspot is tapped, Glink will either open an external browser or use the built in browser in Glink to display the URL content.
