Just a greying 4GL programmer i'm afraid - nothing up to date!

The extension is available for FF and for what they describe as Mozilla 1.7 (Seamonkey?). At the moment I'm trying the firefox files. Dunno if the Seamonkey files would be different or an advantage?

The FF extension files sit in a Program files/vengine subdirectory. I've worked out I think the right places to put them in K-meleon. They include:
- a Jar (in XUL's and a .js) >put in chrome
- a .manifest > put in chrome
- a dll > put in componets
- a xpt > put in componets
- an install.rdf and .js, which I believe irrelevant

I think above you are suggesting I edit the manifest, not the jar? Contents of chrome.manifest below (does it need renaming to same as JAR?). Already edited content line - is it correct?

content vengineext jar:vengineext.jar!/content/
overlay chrome://browser/content/browser.xul chrome://vengineext/content/vengineoverlay.xul
overlay chrome://browser/content/browser.xul chrome://vengineext/content/vengineoverlayev.xul appversion>=2.0
overlay chrome://browser/content/browser.xul chrome://vengineext/content/vengineoverlayev_old.xul appversion<2.0
overlay chrome://navigator/content/navigator.xul chrome://vengineext/content/vengineoverlay.xul
overlay chrome://pippki/content/downloadcert.xul chrome://vengineext/content/vengineoverlaycertdlg.xul

I would imagine that the best implementation in KM would be for the security grade to be reflected in browser URL bar colour, and for it to be possible to invoke a dialog with all the details, maybe by hovering on the padlock. But just the ability to invoke the dialog with the details would be helpful.

One thing I note already is that if the DLL is in the coponent directory KM aopens then closes immediately it has finished loading the page. Dunno what this means. If I rename this file to xxx.OLD, this does not happen.

1.) 4GL is as good as any training - my guess - I am user and only learned HTML and some Basic way back.

2.) You would probably best use the Firefox port if it is new. Mozilla 1.7 GRE code will probably stop to work with 1.6 (MIMEEdit extension also stopped).

3.) Yes You are right that is where they go, do not forget that You have to delete ./components/compreg.dat & xpti.dat after You added an xpt. They will be rewritten including the new info about Your xpt.

4.) Your manifest looks good - You altered the manifest to have K-Meleons chrome paths. The overlays info is AFAIK not used by K-Meleon. He has no chrome that can be overlayed. Paths to "content", "locale" and "skin" is all.

5.) K-Meleon has no XUL URLBar that You can color or call easily. It is C++ and only Dorian programms c++. No idea how and if You can do it.

6.) You mean that the dll works with K-Meleon and does something?

I will resume my own chore now and update a few version 1.5 skins to 1.6 :)[/quote]
