Me too! Funny as it may seem, I've been thinking of the idea for a long time. A small button near the bug meter with a toolbox icon where a bunch of handy options can be set. For instance, the one Brian suggested (force_my_colors), Fit page to window (when tables are too wide), switch parsing method, load/don't_load images, etc. Of course some of them are workarounds and some not, anyway it would help to have some of them. Why isn't the magic button there then? Our main problem is lack of developers, Sebastian and I are covered with other works we regard as higher priority, so handy task as this (and several others) keep on waiting... If somebody here wants to implement this menu button in a clean way (not as an ad-hoc hack), it'd be very welcomed. In the same spirit, if someone here has development skills and wants to contribute, please let us know. We have plenty of small to big size tasks waiting for a developer to work them out. > > [...] > > or a plugin, rather than as a patch? Or will there be such a way, ever? This feature can't be a plugin now. The good news is that there's room for it near the bug meter. ;) -- Cheers Jorge.-

Or will there be such a way, ever? Something I really miss from my browser from way back when, Mosaic, is the "Options" menu which had a bunch of checkboxes for options like that. I would love to see your function (and something related to image loading, while I'm making out my wish list) show up in a similar menu in dillo.

[Dillo-dev]Extension/plugin question...

by Daniel Fairhead

Hi, As occasionly I come across websites (up to around 3 times a day) which because of one reason or another display white-on-white, or other things like that, and because most of the time I like seeing real colours of pages, I quickly added a "use colours" button to the toolbar of my local dillo, which (obviously) toggles the use of local colours or not. Anyway, my question is, as this kind of thing isn't really wanted for mainstream/normal dillo, is there any way of writing it as an extension, or a plugin, rather than as a patch? Or will there be such a way, ever? Cheers, Dan -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

But I didn't manage to get into my amazon account - I think I've managed that with previous dillo-ssl's. Is there a work around? This was with the x86 version. Will now try out a ps2-compilation. When 0.8.3 is finalised it's probably time for a new ps2-rpm version - the last was 0.7.2 or so... (rpm - ugh! any offers?

> Any more news here? > Things seemed to be going rather well a month back :-) I sent in a patch a month or so ago, but I don't know if there is much more to be done at this stage. Things seem to work well, and most error conditions notify the user specifically. Those that don't give a generic error message (very unlikely cases). I'm not sure where to go from here. The dpi infrastructure makes it hard to do some things, but I guess it might be possible to convert the plugin to a process. Other than that, I don't know if there is much more that needs to be done. - Garrett

[Dillo-dev]A problem about g_timeout_add function????

by suowei

Hi,everyone: I meet a problem about g_timeout_add function in dns.c file.Because I can not use the original function gtk_timeout_add based on gtk,so I replace is whit g_timeout_add,just like: dns_server[channel].timeout_id = g_timeout_add(200,(GSourceFunc)Dns_timeout_client,GINT_TO_POINTER(dns_server[channel].channel)); the origianl code is: dns_server[channel].timeout_id = gtk_timeout_add(200, (GtkFunction)Dns_timeout_client, GINT_TO_POINTER(dns_server[channel].channel)); but after I do this, the function g_timeout_add looks like no useful,so I want to get the answer,is it why???? My target is to trige the function Dns_timeout_client every 200ms,please help me. thank you:)
