Adding a couple pixels to the tab height drastically improves the appearance and readability. And it's probably better to use the system colors for tabs, since green-and-gray could clash with someone's desktop. (Although I *do* like that particular shade of green.) ~Benjamin

For now I would just put back the hardcoded FL_PLASTIC_ROUND_UP_BOX. It looks so much better even if it would be nice to have the tabs also themeable. Cheers, Johannes

Since the consensus seems to be rectangles, I changed them to rectangles. As for color, it does seem that plastic vs regular have somewhat different ideas about button coloration. Guess I'll try to make it greenish-and-grayish again...

Why not, if there is demand for it and the default is safe (i.e. off). Cheers, Johannes

Preferences GUI

by obeythepenguin＠gmail.com

Hello again, I've finally updated my preferences GUI patch for Dillo 3.0. (It's 2011 -- nobody should have to manually edit configuration files, especially for a graphical program!) If you want to try it out, here it is: http://dillo-win32.sourceforge.net/patches/33-prefsgui.diff And here's some screenshots: http://dillo-win32.sourceforge.net/dillo/screenshots.php?closeup=Z08-dillo3… Right now it implements about half the possible dillorc options; I'm planning to add the others once I figure out where they'll fit best in the interface. By the way, fair warning: this does assume you've applied the other 32 Dillo-Win32 patches before it, so you may need to edit a couple files to use it on stock Dillo. Cheers, ~Benjamin

Is it possible to get either option (or both) into dillo3? Best!

choice5 [Re: patch for UI and font_factor]

by corvid＠lavabit.com

I wrote: > - Choice5 does not handle it well. I made a nicer choice5 a few > months ago, but Jorge didn't like it. I looked around for the old patch and made it apply cleanly. It _is_ charmless, but maybe it can be used for raw materials at some point, since at least the text fits. So far as I can recall, I made it squarish because I was thinking that dealing with long narrow boxes on handhelds was probably suboptimal. (Speaking of which, remember how Andreas and Justus would talk about usability on handhelds, and then we didn't really proceed to make any decisions about anything? Has anyone tried dillo on handhelds of late?)

We could use, or borrow from, Benjamin's tabs diff mentioned in http://lists.auriga.wearlab.de/pipermail/dillo-dev/2011-September/008896.ht… Any opinions?
