After removing the GTK+-2.0 support, I was able to use some features of GTK+-3.0 which are not available on GTK+-2.0. Features such as CSS theming. Instead of loading a GtkRc file, GTK+-3.0 loads a CSS file. In my opinion, GtkRc is a big shit. If I wanted to keep GTK+-2.0, I had to use the GtkWidget tuning functions. In other words : a painful trip. Another good reason to remove GTK+-2.0 support. If you don't want to use the default GTK theme, just put your custom CSS file into ~/.config/cream-browser/theme.css An example of CSS theme is already available on the git repository. <a href="http://github.com/linkdd/cream-browser/wiki/screenshots/big/css-theme.png"><img src="http://github.com/linkdd/cream-browser/wiki/screenshots/small/css-theme.png" alt="screenshot" title=""></a> Have fun!

Why did I do this? <ul> <li>As with all new versions of GTK+-3.0 comes with interesting features (such as CSS to customize the widgets) that are not available in GTK+-2.0. It is relatively a handicap for development.</li> <li>GTK+-2.0 is much heavier than GTK+-3.0, because GTK+-3.0 removes many features depreciated. This handicaps even more the development, requiring many #ifdef block in the code.</li> <li>The library WebKitGTK already has a port to GTK+-3.0 (although they still maintain the development of the branch GTK+-2.0), so switching to GTK+-3.0 will be invisible on this side of.</li> <li>GTK+-3.0 is already in the repositories of many GNU/Linux distributions (such as Gentoo, Debian testing/sid, archlinux, ...), its installation for the developer and/or the user is not the most complicated. On this point, we could say that is because this version was released several months ago.</li> </ul> So I wont maintain any longer the support of the two releases, I encourage you to install GTK+-3.0 if not already done.

I'm happy to tell you that key bindings are now available in cream-browser ! <pre><code>17:00 <CIA-69> cream-browser: David Delassus unstable * r0feb308 / (21 files in 3 dirs): Add keybindings (soon a note on the blog) - http://git.io/In8GfA </code></pre> The lua bindings are already available : <pre><code>cream.keys.map (statelist, modkeys_list, command, callback) </code></pre> statelist is a list of state where your keybind will be affected, here is the different states of cream-browser : <pre><code>cream.state.insert # You are typing in a webview cream.state.command # You are typing a command in the inputbox cream.state.search # You are typing a search command in the inputbox cream.state.embed # A plugin (ie. flashplayer) own the focus (not yet implemented) cream.state.caret # CARET browsing (not yet implemented) cream.state.normal # Normal state cream.state.all # All states </code></pre> Here is an example : <pre><code> cream.keys.map ({ cream.state.all }, { }, "Escape", function (w) cream.inputbox.text ("") cream.state.current (cream.state.normal) end) cream.keys.map ({ { cream.state.normal, cream.state.embed, cream.state.caret }, { "Shift" }, "colon", function (w) cream.inputbox.text (":") cream.inputbox.focus () end) -- Paste command \o/ cream.keys.map ({ cream.state.normal, cream.state.embed, cream.state.caret }, { }, "pp", function (w) uri = cream.clipboard.primary:get () if uri ~= "" then w:open (uri) end end) </code></pre> NB: You HAVE TO precise all modkeys (ie. "Shift" + P) NB: You have to write the full name of the key (ie. minus an not -) Enjoy! :) Mon, 10 Oct 2011 17:00:22 +0200 Split your browser as you split your Vim http://cream-browser.net/blog//post/04.html Oe of the Cream-Browser's killer feature is the GtkVimSplit which allow you to split your browser in multiple views, just like vim :) This feature is now finished, and to end the GUI I just have to finish the inputbox, the statusbar and the theme engine. Soon a GUI for Cream-Browser ! <img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-9EKISo61qiA/Tfd2yP-aZ7I/AAAAAAAAAB0/1uTEKbafl9k/cream-browser.png" alt="Cream-Browser - GtkVimSplit screenshot" title=""> Mon, 10 Oct 2011 17:00:22 +0200 Gettext support http://cream-browser.net/blog//post/03.html Cream-Browser has now the gettext support and is now translatable. I already made a french translation available on git. And a howto will be soon available on the wiki. Q: Why now ? There is no more important things to do, like a GUI ? A: In fact, gettext support wasn't long to do. It was preferable to do this now, before more translations to do (so a bigger work). I hope that other translations will be available very soon :) Mon, 10 Oct 2011 17:00:22 +0200 RSS Feeds for Cream-Browser's blog http://cream-browser.net/blog//post/02.html Still powered by <a href="https://github.com/linkdd/plstblog">plstblog</a>, this blog has now RSS 2.0 feeds.

Mon, 10 Oct 2011 17:00:22 +0200 Cream-Browser with DirectFB support http://cream-browser.net/blog//post/01.html Hi, Cream-Browser is now able to be compiled with DirectFB support. The only inconvenient is that GTK+-3.0 drop the DirectFB support, so you have to build Cream-Browser with GTK+-2.0 (hopefully, both versions are supported). Do you want to know more ? Just go <a href="https://github.com/linkdd/cream-browser/wiki/Directfb-support">here</a> Mon, 10 Oct 2011 17:00:22 +0200 Welcome on the Cream-Browser's blog http://cream-browser.net/blog//post/00.html Hi everybody.
