Application Configuration

The application level configuration currently is accessible only via a JSON file: websurgeconfiguration.json in the %appdata%\West Wind WebSurge folder. The file is accessible via File->Settings or you can edit the file directly. Any changes made to the file are applied immediately although a few settings (like a theme change) changes require a restart.

Settings and Values

The following are some of the interesting user related settings you can set:

Setting	Value
ApplicationTheme	The theming for the application which is either Dark or Light. This can also be set via the Window header drop down. Default: Dark
ProxyUrl	An optional proxy Url to proxy Http requests through. Also useful if you want to trace requests through a tool like Fiddler. Example: http://127.0.0.1:8888
AllowRequestHeaderEditing	Determines whether Http results in the Previewer allow for the request headers and content to be editable. Default: true
WindowSettings.DisableHardwareAccelleration	Optional flag that disables hardware video accelleration which can prevent some rendering issues with some older video cards. If you run into a Previewer issues where the previewer displays blank or the previewer crashes the application turning this flag to true can often fix these problems. Default: false
