As an aside to the scheme issue, I just found that if I add in a Fl::get_system_colors(); (I put it after the make_current()) and then added the following to .Xdefaults: dillo*background: red dillo*foreground: yellow Then dillo's dialogs, and certain parts of the UI, and -- interestingly -- the default text color on pages, well, it all turns rather red&yellow in general. The src talks about KDE, at least, setting those values in xrdb. If it should happen that many of the various desktop environments set these values, getting this all to work reasonably correctly might be pleasing to everyone nowadays who expects all of their windows to look similar. People are very first-impression ("It's ugly!" *deletes*)...

(ie. addons, passwords, ...) is now opening in a browser tab/window instead of a widget/applet. Which is how I think it should be. The only downside that I see with dpid, it's not easy to upgrade, quit & start dillo. One first needs to kill dpid and all dpi processes before restarting an upgraded Dillo. -- Roger http://rogerx.freeshell.org/

The code in Fl_get_system_colors.cxx goes: int Fl::scheme(const char *s) { if (!s) { if ((s = getenv("FLTK_SCHEME")) == NULL) { #if !defined(WIN32) && !defined(__APPLE__) const char* key = 0; if (Fl::first_window()) key = Fl::first_window()->xclass(); if (!key) key = "fltk"; fl_open_display(); s = XGetDefault(fl_display, key, "scheme"); #endif // !WIN32 && !__APPLE__ } } [...] } so if we stick a Fl::scheme(NULL) into dillo.cc, then $ export FLTK_SCHEME=plastic $ dillo works (Why doesn't "FLTK_SCHEME=plastic dillo" work?) and "dillo*scheme: gtk+" in .Xdefaults works.

Hurray! As always, it took longer than expected, but I think it's an important milestone. Cheers and thanks to all that helped, Johannes

Thanks to whomever opened the bug. Opening the bug seems like half the battle to creating the updated ebuild, in my case, I already had the ebuild on my system. (Likely just a copy of an older Dillo ebuild.) Here's a Gentoo EBuild for Dillo-3.0 for testing: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=382359 Instructions on masking fltk-2 until Gentoo Developers slot the fltk ebuild versions correctly are posted. Notes are also posted concerning fltk version numbers. -- Roger http://rogerx.freeshell.org/

Long ago, after searching for a window manager theme that suits my needs, in specialized sites, it became quite clear it's impossible to get something that pleases everybody. WRT dillo, there're several buttton variants for either "plastic" and "gtk+", so I'm more inclined to have a dillorc option for the tab button style. A gtk+/plastic selector may also help (I have vague memories of some form widgets being less clear to read, but this is personal taste anyway :). -- Cheers Jorge.-

BTW, what about not specifying the box type at all and having a Fl::scheme("plastic") call in main()? Or even better having an option in dillorc to specify the scheme. Cheers, Johannes

The common delay is 10 days if no so called "release critical bugs" pop up.
