OK, I've rewrote next() and prev() with full protection and made clear semantics for the corner cases in setValues(). As a side effect, the code got shorter and easier to read. Now in testing phase... -- Cheers Jorge.-

Oh, I see. nachdenkseiten.de showed the bug 4 of 4 times without the patch and none with patched version. netzpolitik.org doesn't show the bug here. Neither from net, nor locally. -- Cheers Jorge.-

You're welcomed. I aim at reducing your workload so you can focus on corework. BTW, the speed improvements introduced with GROWS2, and the way I picture dillo's rendering once floats/absolutes work right are quite motivating. ;) > It also seems to fix the problems with > netzpolitik.org and nachdenkseiten.de.

It should be commented. It happens when iterating back gets behind 0.

Thanks for the good work! It also seems to fix the problems with netzpolitik.org and nachdenkseiten.de. (Others please check this, too.) I've one case in my list, which is already analyzed.

This is much simpler for rendering bugs, which can be preserved while simplifying the page. This kind of bug is much more difficult since the effect (taking too much time) vanishes the more the simpler the page gets. Sebastian

I came up with something that makes it less inviting to set the individual preferences right there, but perhaps not as uninviting as I would prefer: # UI colors # Note that FLTK may sometimes override colors, generally for contrast and # readability. # # ui_fg_color, ui_main_bg_color, ui_text_bg_color, and ui_selection_color # map to concepts in the underlying FLTK toolkit which are described as: # "the default foreground color...used for labels and text", "default # background color", "the default background color for text, list, and # valuator widgets", and "the default selection/highlight color". They # sometimes have other uses in the more complex FLTK widgets. # # ui_button_highlight_color is the background used when the mouse cursor is # over a button. By default, this is a lightened version of the main # background color. # # ui_tab_active_fg_color and ui_tab_active_bg_color are used for the current # tab. By default, they are the main foreground color and the text background # color, respectively. # # ui_tab_fg_color and ui_tab_bg_color are used for the other tabs. By default, # they are the main foreground color and the main background color, # respectively. # # Note to packagers: leaving these variables for the system to guess # gives different results in different environments, so we played it safe # by defining the traditional colors. Please choose the color theme that # better fits your distro. # # Gray theme (traditional) # ...

That's a good point. It looks like they evolved suboptimally. First I was introducing color settings, and then Jorge made some themes, and a theme became default. I'll clean it up.

Actually, I am now using: ui_tab_active_fg_color=brown ui_tab_bg_color=#909090 which works great. AS to your question, what I don't understand is why there is a section for tab colours, and then later in the default theme section (which is active) more options for tab colour options? Perhaps move the 'stand-alone' tab colour options after the themes, so if the all the themes are #'ed out, these will take precedence? Or why have them at all?
