Hi guys,<br><br>Little overdue, but I think we're getting there.<br>I still haven't put the closedTabs javascript bit, and there are still small quirks, but the "new tab page" refactoring proposal can be checked out here:<br>
<br><a href="http://gitorious.org/~elproxy/rekonq/elproxys-rekonq/commits/hybrid">http://gitorious.org/~elproxy/rekonq/elproxys-rekonq/commits/hybrid</a><br><br>I also need to rebase this on top of current master, hopefully something that I could have done by tomorrow.<br>
<br>Since I suspect the diff will be huge, I think everyone here who's considering reviewing it could start looking at the changes Benjamin and I made in this branch.<br><br>Here's a quick overview of these changes (lots of things are hopefully boring and repetitive so once you know the concepts, it should make the review a bit less painful):<br>
<br>- about: protocol (well it has to be something else than about for it to work, so for now it's rekonq:) requests are intercepted by the network access manager and replies are fed to webkit thanks to a custom reply.<br>
- we use the QtWebKit bridge to expose the relevant application data to the script engine<br>- home.html is going to go away, replaced by a plain index.html skeleton that relies on a few JavaScript and CSS files. In the future, a theme would simply have to ship new js and css files along with images and that should be good enough.<br>
- Thanks to Benjamin's mockup objects, a web designer could easily work on the look and feel of this page, even in another browser if they so wish (bad designer !).<br><br>I think that's it for now, stay tuned.<br>
<br>Cheers,<br>--<br>Pierre<br><br>
