Dark mode screenshot and tutorial

by a1ex＠dismail.de

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

It would be really nice if there were direct download links in the release announcement, since the GitHub releases page doesn't show them without Javascript so you can't download Dillo using Dillo. For others here, these are the direct download links: dillo-3.1.0.zip.asc (488) https://github.com/dillo-browser/dillo/releases/download/v3.1.0/dillo-3.1.0… dillo-3.1.0.zip (1.4M) https://github.com/dillo-browser/dillo/releases/download/v3.1.0/dillo-3.1.0… dillo-3.1.0.tar.gz.asc (488) https://github.com/dillo-browser/dillo/releases/download/v3.1.0/dillo-3.1.0… dillo-3.1.0.tar.gz (1.2M) https://github.com/dillo-browser/dillo/releases/download/v3.1.0/dillo-3.1.0… dillo-3.1.0.tar.bz2.asc (488) https://github.com/dillo-browser/dillo/releases/download/v3.1.0/dillo-3.1.0… dillo-3.1.0.tar.bz2 (972K) https://github.com/dillo-browser/dillo/releases/download/v3.1.0/dillo-3.1.0…

This has been a frustration for quite a while, and I'm pretty sure I have run into other sites in the past with similar issues. Hopefully never again :) Thanks again, Alex

I choose the Ctrl + / Ctrl - as it is the default in other browsers, but I mostly use Ctrl and the mouse wheel. I haven't been able to figure it out how to make it work yet on Dillo, but maybe that would help you too. In any case, you can adjust the ~/.dillo/keysrc file to you needs[1], no need to change the source code. [1]: https://dillo-browser.github.io/user_help.html#keysrc Best, Rodrigo.

With CSS >turned on, the text is very small and impossible to read on my monitor >(but now the offending lines fit on the window). >In Firefox, the text appears correctly and is always wrapped to the >window regardless of zoom level. I see what is going on. By default, Dillo doesn't wrap the content of <pre> elements. But, the following rule in HN CSS should cause it to wrap the text at spaces and newlines: > pre { overflow: auto; padding: 2px; white-space: pre-wrap; > overflow-wrap:anywhere; } But Dillo fails to process the CSS document because it doesn't understand a previous rule: > input[type=\"submit\"] { font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; } The 'input[type=\"submit\"]' selector is causing the CSS parser to ignore the rest of the CSS style sheet. I believe this is a bug in HN CSS, as it should be: > input[type="submit"] { font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; } Which works properly, I attached a reproducer. I have to check what is going on in the parser, by I suspect the first \" causes the parser to enter "string mode", and then the second \" is parsed as a quote inside the string because it is escaped, not as the closing quote. So everything else in the CSS file is treated as the content of the string. This should be fixed on HN side. We should make the CSS parser more robust to these problems. In the meanwhile, you can add this workaround in ~/.dillo/style.css to make <pre> wrapped by default in all pages: > pre { white-space: pre-wrap; } Best, Rodrigo

Here is an example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40250573 Viewing the page in Dillo with CSS turned off, some of the text runs off the window and I have to scroll right to see it. With CSS turned on, the text is very small and impossible to read on my monitor (but now the offending lines fit on the window).

Sounds good. The messages look like they'd mainly be useful to someone looking to to tweak the code and rebuild anyway.

Yeah, there is no way to properly output messages from the dw module (the layout renderer), as it doesn't link with the code that parses the preferences, so it cannot access the "prefs.show_msg" variable to find out if it should output messages or not. I will disable it for now by using _MSG() instead, and we can think of something more elaborate later. Thanks, Rodrigo.
