Cosmetic options

The webpage background

This option doesn't effect the applet. It is used purely to include a background color with the generated "body" tag of the HTML. This can be altered later by editing the HTML manually.

Centering the image

If an applet is the only thing to appear on a webpage it is often a good idea to center it. This option achieves this by inserting the appropriate "center" tags into the HTML.

The wrong Java version message

BMPsqueezer applets require the browser to have a Java version 1.1 virtual machine in order to run and this is present in Netscape 4.06 or better, or alternatively any MS Internet Explorer 4.0 browser or better. When the applet tries to run the first thing it does is look at the version of VM that's running it. If it detects a version less then 1.1 it ceases to run, the image isn't displayed and the wrong java version message is displayed. Again this can be set to any message you can type.
