getting it to work w/ chimera
Authored by: Makosuke on Feb 06, '03 07:24:38PM

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something about the way Chimera works, but I believe it uses Cocoa for the front end drawing, and gecko as the rendering engine. Mozilla and Netscape both use the standard Mozilla cross-platform UI, which is not only not written in Cocoa, but has nothing at all to do with Chimera's UI.

Therefore, I would imagine it'd take more than just some adjustment to get any sort of interface enhancement theme designed for Mozilla to work with Chimera.

Hidden prefs are a different issue, were that what this was, but I get the feeling it's not.

Of course, I'd like to be wrong about this, since there are a lot of cool features in this plug-in.

and according to what i've read at the Chimera/Mozilla site it uses Gecko to render everything on the page . That's right kiddies _everything_ from the scroll bars to the buttons to the windows ..... everything

Of course getting chimera to use XUL whatevers will require a close examination of the chimera and mozilla source code and documentation ;)
