Building a better browser with GTK+
|
News
-
It seems that the development on the "Mozilla Classic" GTK+
frontend has halted. Development efforts are now turning to
the new layout engine and
cross platform front end code,
together code named Seamonkey.
-
The X heads at Netscape decided that now would be the best time
to move away from Motif. They choose GTK+ as the target toolkit
for development under the X Windows System.
-
The platform independant code for Seamonkey has been implemented
in GTK+. This is currently the code that gets used in the
default build of Seamonkey under Unix.
Development
-
Building Seamonkey under GTK+ is fairly simple. The first place to
look is the autoconf project
page. This will give you a lot of information on the build
system for Mozilla. There are complete instructions on building
under Unix
here.
-
Everyone loves screenshots. MozillaZine has been tracking the
progress of GTK+ Seamonkey. You can find screenshots
here.
-
Please help us! The work to implement all the widgets is not done
yet. For more information on what needs to be done, post to
netscape.public.mozilla.gtk
