Discstarter
Discstarter is a highly customizable offline browser that allows the creation of modern, professional-looking menus and front-ends for CD-ROMs by using simple HTML. These front-ends meet the highest demands of quality and stability. Special programming knowledge is not required.
There are no limitations concerning the customization of Discstarter's browser window: a border style can be selected, or deselected at will. Or a self-designed skin for an individual window shape can be applied. It is possible to show the window in full screen mode as well as a normal window. Additional functionality includes the ability to add, an optional toolbar, a custom icon, a caption and a default cursor.
Enhanced features for comfortable offline browsing are available, such as instant execution of EXE, ZIP, PDF and other file types directly from HTML pages. The system requirements for the HTML front-end can be tested like e.g. activated JavaScript or the presence of the Flashâ„¢ plug in.
Also typical security features of normal web browsers such as popup blockers or warnings when clicking on a link that points to an executable file are disabled by Discstarter because it has been designed especially for offline content. So browser security features cannot mess up your front-ends and the functionality provided by them any more.
Optional visual effects such as a drop shadow under Discstarter's browser window, or a smooth fade-in on startup, promote a professional look and feel to the user.
A simple and clean looking Start Menu or a stunning multimedia application: everything is possible! Not only CD-ROM menus can be created using Discstarter, also impressive digital business cards, product or company presentations, catalogs, documentation and PowerPoint presentations can be made.
For a simple and quick integration into CD-ROM projects a special wizard called Discstarter Designer is provided, along with extensive documentation that assists you in generating the required configuration files.
