scroll_step description
by Kevin Koster Oct. 17, 2024

Oct. 17, 2024

There's a new "scroll_step" option in the example configuration file for 3.1.0-rc1. The comment "Mouse wheel scroll step in pixels" suggests that this only affects the mouse wheel, but it also changes the distance the page moves when the arrow keys are pressed and the overlap of previous page content that's left when you press Page Up/Down. I think that's a little confusing, especially as the value has changed since the default behaviour in 3.0.5 (the old value seems to have been about 25).

Feature idea: zoom buttons
by a1ex＠dismail.de July 6, 2024

July 6, 2024

Hello, Sometimes the page text is not entirely wrapped to the browser window, resulting in lines extending off screen, which is a pain. This can be especially visible if remote CSS is disabled, and/or you are using a portrait display. Maybe this can be partially mitigated by having zoom buttons in the toolbar. Beyond that, there are many other reasons why you might want to make the text larger or smaller, depending on the page and display configuration, accessibility needs, etc. It's not always practical to edit dillorc and restart for every page in question. I think one of the Dillo forks did it before. Can we just dynamically adjust the 'font_factor' setting? Any interest in this? Regards, Alex

Dark mode screenshot and tutorial
by a1ex＠dismail.de July 2, 2024

July 2, 2024

Hi list, Attached is a screenshot of Dillo with a simple "Dark Mode" theme. For those interested in how to do this, here is a small tutorial: Put this in ~/.dillo/style.css: * { background-color: #000000 !important; color: #999999 !important; } :link { color: #ffffff !important; text-decoration: none !important; } :visited { color: #ffffff !important; text-decoration: underline !important; } Put this in ~/.dillo/dillorc: bg_color=000000 ui_fg_color=999999 ui_main_bg_color=000000 ui_text_bg_color=000000 ui_selection_color=444444 ui_button_highlight_color=ffffff ui_tab_active_bg_color=999999 ui_tab_active_fg_color=000000 ui_tab_bg_color=000000 And then we can tighten up the UI to taste: panel_size=tiny small_icons=YES show_search=NO show_help=NO Hopefully someone will find this useful :) Regards, Alex

Hello dillo-dev mailing list, i was able to successfully import into sylpheed what appears to be a complete mbox of the old original dillo.org mailing list and the new mailman3.com mailing list - (thank you very much for this work and setting up the new mailman3.com mailing list) i have reposted my 5/11/24 post to the old (dead) dillo.org mailing list to this list i am glad to see dillo being reborn - it is my main http/https browser (i use w3m and curl and seamonkey as needed) --- To: dillo-dev(a)dillo.org Subject: dillo-3.1.0 Date: Sat, 11 May 2024 16:00:22 -0600 Hi i just saw this on slashdot https://tech.slashdot.org/story/24/05/11/1348216/lightweight-dillo-browser-… and downloaded dillo-3.1.0.tar.bz2 from (https://github.com/dillo-browser/dillo/releases/download/v3.1.0/dillo-3.1.0…) configure --enable-ssl --disable-ipv6 (--enable-ssl from dillo-3.0.5 is deprecated in dillo-3.1.0) ( checking FLTK 1.3... yes checking for libpng version... 1.6.37 configure: Using OpenSSL as TLS library. checking for pthread_create in -lpthread... yes make good make install didn't do but because of many known questions of github vulnerability problems (i no longer get any source from github - except this one time) i didn't install it or run it until i can go over the code myself or someone also does a security check of the source code (added 5/27/24 this is only a reflection on the github problems and not on anyone coding dillo) i have done my own dillo-3.1 from dillo-3.0.5 i will also wait to test the configure option --enable-html-tests Enable HTML tests (requires xvfb, xwd and imagemagick)

[PATCH] User defined new tab page
by a1ex＠dismail.de June 9, 2024

June 9, 2024

Hi list, Here is a patch to add a new tab page to dillo. You can define any url in dillorc preference 'new_tab_page', and it will be automatically opened in new tabs. Setting the value "about:blank" will retain the default blank page behavior. I tried to make it work with an empty value of "", but for some reason dillo prepends 'http:' to the value. Hopefully this won't be a problem, because now the about:blank is pre-selected and you can just start typing over it. If there is a better way to do this, I'm open to suggestions.

"Layout::resizeIdle calls" messages ignore show_msg=NO
by Kevin Koster May 4, 2024

May 4, 2024

With Dillo 3.1.0-rc1 (and the current Git repo master branch), these messages are printed to stdout when pages load even with show_msg=NO in dillorc: ... Layout::resizeIdle calls = 578 Layout::resizeIdle calls = 579 Layout::resizeIdle calls = 580 Layout::resizeIdle calls = 581 Layout::resizeIdle calls = 582 Layout::resizeIdle calls = 583 ... I see that they come from a printf call in dw/layout.cc, line 876. Dillo 3.0.5 doesn't output such messages, and they are a minor inconvenience when starting dillo from a terminal window, so it would be nice if they obeyed the show_msg setting in dillorc when Dillo 3.1.0 is released.
