I would like to think that my application (I'm keeping it quiet for now, thanks, until I get a little further with it) may make a nice flagship applet for nano. -Darran -- Darran D.

Somebody was actually talking about porting Mozilla to it and using it as the basis for a set top box, but I don't know what happened to that. --------------- Linux- the choice of a GNU generation. -------------- : Alex Holden (M1CJD)- Caver, Programmer, Land Rover nut, Radio Ham : -------------------- http://www.linuxhacker.org/ -------------------- | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Theory: (and I could be talking out of my backside here) If Greg is "porting" a Win32 API set to nano, it may be easier to port the Win32 version of Mozilla as apposed to the Linux one (I *STRESS* I know nothing about the internals of Mozilla). But, I stress again, I could be talking out of my arse here.... -Darran | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I think he was talking about porting not the browser, but the rendering engine, in a custom (very limited, but intentionally so, as seemingly some people want that out of an "internet appliance") user interface which would be written directly on top of Nano-X itself, without any specific general purpose widget set. For porting the entire browser, hopefully it shouldn't be too hard to port either the GTK+ or Win32 version once we have a GTK+ port, and if Greg's Win32 is close enough to the real Win32. So then it'd be up to you whether you want a configurable GTK+ based UI (which can be configured to look like Win32 if you really want), or just the Win32 UI (which will probably have lower memory requirements than GTK+). --------------- Linux- the choice of a GNU generation. -------------- : Alex Holden (M1CJD)- Caver, Programmer, Land Rover nut, Radio Ham : -------------------- http://www.linuxhacker.org/ -------------------- | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
