We need back and forward buttons and the location bar, we need multiple windows, we need tabs, IMHO right-click-go-back is important to a lot of users. The first part we could probably get by enabling location bar, as shown in the install web app box? Does it support a separate user.js file for the Prism application? More detail here: http://wiki.mozilla.org/WebRunner Objectives look similar to ours, but not quite the same. Tray icons would be nice... but apparently aren't implemented yet. Apparently it's webruner-prefs.js not user.js ... There is no find box i.e. presumably no way of searching the page... Back, forward and reload buttons are in the wishlist section! IMHO they are essential. Increasing and decreasing text size is important for many users. There seems to be some interaction between Prism apps judging from this wishlist item: "Configuration option to sandbox a webapp so it doesn't share cookies with other webapps in the same Prism. This could allow multiple Google apps to be open with different accounts (a at gmail.com Gmail; b at msn.com for Reader; c at hostedgmail.com for Hosted Gmail)." No way to clear history etc. "Some Prism-based web applications may want to tweak the behavior or add desktop-ish features to the webapp. Prism supports a simple scripting system that can be used to add custom JS script to the Prism chrome host, but not the webcontent itself. In the future, the webapp script may have lower privileges. We are looking into the security aspects of the higher privilege level." I dunno what to make of this part... All in all I'm not sure this is what we need... -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
