options manager -fantastic-the browser speed is good -try not to weigh the basics down with useless widgies---keep it simple --

Umm... The Minimalistic theme strikes again. Replace this rule in /home/user/.tear/userstyles.css to override the current setting of "none" (on every site that has it, not only ITT):
with this:

This will take care of the non-resizing sites...

One thing I can't understand - if this is a mobile oriented theme, what is this setting doing on the body tag...

Thanks a lot Bundyo, will try this right away... I suspected something like that, but I'm not well versed in CSS.

Ah, an ages-old debate. I've written it so many times here that I got tired and gave up (and others too). It does seem difficult to design web sites to be mobile-device-friendly, and still retain pleasing eye-candy for desktop browsers. Come to think of it, maemo.org itself is not especially tablet-friendly either...

And the new design wasn't yet, the last I saw it. It will probably get better though. ITT on the other hand won't. I just hope the new talk.maemo.org is usable. And hopefully has a black theme, since all themes I'm using are black/dark (excluding the tablet one, which is plain Echo).

Hi,

sorry, but I need a few more days for the bookmark manager. When I tried to implement drag&drop I didn't like my code anymore. I'll have to change a few things to make the code more flexible and extensible so it'll be simple to change something or to include the manager into your own software.

Since there are python bindings for webkit available I had the idea to implement something like a preview popup for your bookmarks but I'll have to check if this is possible/usable ...

So, please be patient

I dont want to confuse the flow of this thread as I haven't had much time to follow itt lately, but tso pointed out you added dbus support so i figured i would rerun some tests to see if it could be integrated into the -default- nokia bookmark plugin.... and the short answer seems to be 'no'.

Unfortunately, i think the bookmark plugin is hardcoded to call com.nokia.osso_browser service (instead of new com.nokia.tear service), so you would still need to write a new plugin to replace libtn_bookmark_plugin.so. Or bundyo 'could' hack his code to open an osso context called com.nokia.osso_browser instead of his own, and then reroute the /usr/share/dbus-1/services/com.nokia.osso_browser.service file to his /usr/bin/tear (making sure to catch the dbus method invoked by the plugin) but that is pretty ugly and is not something that you should hijaak by default in a postinst script so it would still require user hacking.

I looked for the source code to the libtn_bookmark_plugin.so bookmark plugin but i could not find it. So the best bet would be to see if someone like fiferboy (personalmenu) released sample code and build a new plugin which could use either the mozilla bookmarks or (even better) bongo's bookmark plugin database... so that the navigator plugin bookmarks collection matches the internal browser plugin's bookmark collection. And that new plugin could invoke the com.nokia.tear service via dbus to preserve single instancing or just use command line to open multiple windows.

If someone knows something different from what i said, feel free to correct me as i'm just a hacking my way to learning these dbus rules/mechanisms.

You can already use personal menu/launcher with tear. for a command just type: tear "url of bookmark" (without quotations)

I'm far away from the thought of hijacking the com.nokia.osso_browser service. It may have undesirable effects on someone's tablet...

I agree... just wanted to illustrate how ugly the solution to hack the default plugin appears to be.

And yep you could use personal menu for a few bookmarks but that could get crowded if you added alot.

the default bookmark menu im not to worried about, but what about say mauku or oss_rss_feed_reader? these are both apps that brings up a browser window from time to time.
