Commencing with Neo4j 3.2.2 one can override default configuration settings of the browser whereby a number of these settings
are defined under the left frame and through the 'gears' icon.
To implement said functionality you would first need to know the name of the parameter which defines the functionality. This
can be displayed by running from the browser
<!-- :config -->
and sample output is as follows
{
"cmdchar": ":",
"maxHistory": 30,
"theme": "normal",
"useBoltRouting": false,
"initCmd": ":play start",
"initialNodeDisplay": 300,
"maxNeighbours": 100,
"showSampleScripts": true,
"browserSyncDebugServer": null,
"maxRows": "5000",
"shouldReportUdc": true,
"autoComplete": true,
"scrollToTop": true,
"maxFrames": 30,
"editorAutocomplete": true
}
This can be changed globally for all users of the browser or one can also override these setting at the Cypher prompt through
the browser.
The following describes how to change Max Frames from 50 to 10 and the Theme to Outline
Globally
To make the changes globally modify the $NEO4J_HOME/conf/neo4j.conf and add the following
browser.post_connect_cmd=config {maxFrames:10, theme: "outline"}
which would change the maxFrames from its default of 50 to 10 and then restart Neo4j.
Browser Instance
Within the browser at the Cypher prompt enter
<!-- :config {maxFrames:10, theme: "outline"} -->
Once making the change, rerunning :config should report that maxFrames has been set to 10, and the Theme is defined to 'Outline'
and the Gears Icon should reflect this change.
