* General
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to view and use the "Modern" theme, your display monitor
|
|
|
|
|
should be set to display thousands of colors. For users who cannot set
|
2016-01-05 11:55:29 +01:00
|
|
|
their displays to use more than 256 colors, the RetroZilla project
|
|
|
|
|
recommends using the "Classic" theme for RetroZilla.
|
2015-10-21 05:03:22 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2016-01-05 11:55:29 +01:00
|
|
|
To select the Modern theme after you have installed RetroZilla, from
|
|
|
|
|
the browser, open the View menu, then open the Apply Theme submenu and
|
2015-10-21 05:03:22 +02:00
|
|
|
choose Modern.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Windows
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Windows 95, 98, Me, NT4, 2000 or XP
|
|
|
|
|
- Intel Pentium class processor (233 MHz or faster recommended)
|
|
|
|
|
- 64 MB RAM
|
|
|
|
|
- 26 MB free hard disk space
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-01-05 11:55:29 +01:00
|
|
|
* We recommend that Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8.x and 10 users not use
|
|
|
|
|
RetroZilla, and instead use the current version of SeaMonkey or Firefox.
|
|
|
|
|
They are much more secure and compatible with the modern web than
|
|
|
|
|
RetroZilla is.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* We recommend that Windows 2000 users use Firefox 12 or SeaMonkey 2.9.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* We recommend that Windows 98 and Me users use Firefox 3.6 or SeaMonkey
|
|
|
|
|
2.0.14 with the KernelEx platform.
