Two bugs in the Dillo GUI (both Mac and ubuntu)
I've found a few obvious bugs in the current dillo_port1.3. They first two are present both in Linux (ubuntu 10.4) and Mac OS X (10.6.7). 1. There is no shortcut icon, the system uses a generic "exec" icon instead. 2. The X icon on the tab bar is missing, so the only way to close a tab is to press ctrl+w. 3. This might be a bug in the Linux version, albeit a minor one. When opening www.slashdot.org, Dillo in ubuntu uses a light brown background color. In the Mac version a grey background color is used. As reference, chrome uses grey too. 4. This one is more of a feature request. Like most Mac applications, the shortcuts should work with Command key instead of control key. (I know it's low priority, and I might give it a shot myself later on). General note: I think dillo (FLTK in general?) renders better / more beautifully in Mac than Ubuntu. The fonts are less jaggy (It seems the linux version is not using vector fonts at all?), and I can scroll both horizontally and vertically using touchpad gestures on Mac, while only vertical scrolling works in dillo under Linux. And at least for slashdot.orgthe colors are rendered more faithfully. P.S. I guess now we can officially claim in the dillo website that dillo 1.3 is fully compatible with Mac OS X 10.6. I'll get my hands on a 10.5.8 machine next week and will try it there too. -Reza

I think that's a "feature" now, since you can right-click (or is it middle click?) to close. It was discussed on the list a while back, I'll try to find the thread when I have time.

That might be FLTK inheriting the window system colors.

Did you compile fltk using --enable-xft? That should fix the font rendering. I have no idea about the colors or touchpad thing, I haven't run Linux in a couple years (and good riddance). Cheers, ~Benjamin

Horizontal scrolling is a RFE (with patch) for FLTK-1.3. http://www.fltk.org/str.php?L2644 Funny how Mac has it and Linux/Win32 not yet. -- Cheers Jorge.-
