Image backgrounds

by sgeerken＠dillo.org

Hi! At <http://flpsed.org/hgweb/dillo_background_image>, you'll find a version of dillo which supports background images. 'Background- attachement' is missing, which I'll postpone, but the rest is nearly complete. I'll soon resume my work on floats. Sebastian

See BUG #1136, #1137 and #1139. IMHO, it would be great to contact the submitter to understand the real problem (or use case) he has, and try to aim directly at it. -- Cheers Jorge.-

Another simple one from the bug tracker. I don't use bookmarks heavily enough to have much need for this, but I can see that it could be convenient.

Tooltips are useful to get an idea what an (simple to recognize, but otherwise per se unrelated to the meaning) icon is for. (At least for me, the text "Reload" makes much more sense than two bent arrows pointing to each other's tail). After some while, a user remembers the icon, so she does not need the text anymore; and I guess that icons are faster to realise than text. On the other hand, this argument does not count for (new) web pages, where the meaning of the icons is not yet known. For this reason, my opinion is that a distinction is not completely pointless.

What about using the existing prefs.show_tooltip variable for both types of tooltips? I would guess that someone either likes / wants tooltips or not independent of whether it's for the UI or the page contents. Cheers, Johannes

Someone in the bug tracker was asking about turning off the ui's tooltips.

Anyway, fixed now. Sebastian

Cris: please test the > latest version from hg, it should compile now. There's a memory problem with the sizeof(buf) because it returns the pointer size, not the array length! Please see the attached test case for details. (Compile with: g++ -W -Wall size3.cc -o size3) -- Cheers Jorge.-
