({{, (RefLink[HelpBrowserSettings, paclet:ref/HelpBrowserSettings]) 
is a global option that specifies settings for the legacy Help Browser.}})

OpenersNotesSection(Spacer1)Details

The typical usage is (RefLink[HelpBrowserSettings, paclet:ref/HelpBrowserSettings])->{(Subscript[opt, 1])->(Subscript[val, 1]),(Subscript[opt, 2])->(Subscript[val, 2]),…}.

The following options may be specified:

With the default setting "ShowCategories"->(RefLink[True, paclet:ref/True]), the browser window contains a set of columns that display the categories of help information available.

With the setting "ShowCategories"->(RefLink[False, paclet:ref/False]), the columns containing the browser categories are no longer visible, thus increasing the amount of text that can be displayed within the legacy Help Browser.

"WindowSize"->{w,h} gives the width and height of the window in printer's points.

Setting either the width or height to (RefLink[Automatic, paclet:ref/Automatic]) causes the size of the window to be determined from the setting for "WindowMargins" and the size of your screen.

The setting for "WindowSize" changes whenever you resize the window interactively.

"WindowMargins"->{{left,right},{bottom,top}} determines the distances from each edge of your screen to each edge of the window.

The values of left, right, bottom, and top are given in points, where 72 points equal one inch.

Negative values of left, right, bottom, and top represent edges that are off the screen.

Typically only two distances are given explicitly; the others are set to (RefLink[Automatic, paclet:ref/Automatic]), indicating that they should be determined from the size of the window.

The settings for "WindowMargins" change automatically whenever you move a window around interactively on the screen.

The window edges closer to the edges of the screen are typically assigned explicit margin distances; the other edges are set to (RefLink[Automatic, paclet:ref/Automatic]). This allows the same setting for "WindowMargins" to work on screens of different sizes.
