I thought of that, but I didn't mention it because people would expect a patch if I did. :) Frankly, Automake/Autoconf and friends scare me, and I don't want to touch them. > Dillo should resemble Dillo and not Konqueror, Netscape or XYZ. > Having that said i'd love to see new, more professional-looking icons. I disagree, because users should not have to learn the meaning of new icons all the time. The fewer sets of icons there are, the easier Dillo will be for non-expert users to learn. Maybe the Ximian icons should be used as the default, since Dillo is a Gtk application. GNOME users are likely to have seen them before.

Suggestion

by Chris Palmer

Hello, The icons available at http://dillo.auriga.wearlab.de/Icons/ are nifty. I suggest they be shipped with Dillo, and that the INSTALL file tell users how to use them. It might also be a good idea to replace the default icons with one of the other sets (I like the Konqueror ones). The rest look much better, imo.

[PATCH] Move progress indicators to the status bar

by Chris Palmer

Hello, This patch moves the progress indicator box to the status bar, where I think most users expect it. Also I think it looks better and uses screen space more effectively. Let me know if you have any trouble applying it. It's pretty simple, and it makes the code smaller (which is always good!). Best, -- Chris music is what numbers feel like San Francisco, CA

Terminology change for "full screen mode"

by Chris Palmer

Hello, I propose changing the terms used to describe the button that hides or shows the control panel. This feature is great, btw! "Full screen" means to me that when I press the button, the browser window will grow to the size of the display, and possibly hide its window manager elements (frame, title bar, buttons, et c.). It doesn't mean to me that the control panel will be hidden. In my copy of the source, I've changed the tooltips for this button to "Show controls" and "Hide controls". But also, the names of the variables and functions that are related to this button should change, for easy readability. Do people agree with me that "hide/show controls" is better than "full screen on/off"? If so, I will create and submit a patch to change the variable and function names.

At least dillo knows where the dillorc is placed by means of sysconfdir. Now, if you configure and make dillo, and later reconfigure with another sysconfdir, the data (dillorc) will be installed in the new directory correctly, but the binary will not be rebuilt so dillo will look for it in the old place. :( Touching prefs.c does the trick, but isn't this supossed to happen automagically?

The page SHOULD render well without any CSS, but as with some Javascript-based sites, some authors forget that. Just write to the webmaster and tell him that the site renders unreadable for browsers without CSS (or disabled). Tell him that the solution is quite simple: Just add: TEXT="#FFFFFF" LINK="#FFAA00" to the BODY line! That is: <BODY BGCOLOR=#2C0000 TEXT="#FFFFFF" LINK="#FFAA00" ... Chances are very good (of them correcting it). Cheers Jorge.-

What's the latest update about dillo and css? Is this the reason why this site: http://www.linuxgames.com is so difficult to read?
