[gentoo-user] browsers gtk1.4 themes

2004-01-04 Thread raptor
Is there a graphic installer for gtk1.4 themes i want to make my old apps look 
better
(Galeon f.e.)

In fact I was testing Mozilla to switch from Galeon... 'cause Galeon continues to be 
very buggy both gtk1.4 and gtk2.0 version...
The only reason I'm not still switching is that I dont have automatic sessions 
save/restore...
I normally open around ~30 tabs on 2-3 galeon windows..so this saves me a bit..
But Mozilla has no such feature..(Firebird seems to have similar feature but it is 
still young)

 I really liked AdBlock plugin for Mozilla.. this was thing I really wanted in Galeon..
I also just runed Opera for a bit, seems promising too..

My top browser will have these features :
0. works under gnome :)

1. Session save/restore, autosave on crash
2. AdBlock-er - powered by regexes, 
   with ability to not only block but stop the dload of blocked objects
   block Flash-es too.. 
3. One-click on/off features for - proxy, java, pop-up, javascript
4. As small as possible footprint (only browsing)
5. Supporting fast switching between TABS even if there is 30-40 open
 (oops forgot to metions, browser w/o Tabs is not a browser, 
  internet-exploder not in my list:))
6. Support for pages (tabs of tabs, metatabs) !!! - 
 these would be VERTICAL-TABS on the left/right, 
 so that instead of opening 3 browsers I open 3 vertical-TABS :)

Less important
---
7. Edit bookmarks in place instead of opening a new-app/window where I have
to search X minuties what I need to edit/hierarcy-move
8. Easy zoom as per Galeon
9. Detailed info about the page fetching process with progress bars and kB/s 
  (opera seems good in this)
10. Font config as per Galeon not as Opera
11. Save Page/Whole page (as per IE)
12. kiosk ability, so that we can make web-app
13. Detect process hogs such as flash-movies and if they begin
  to consume high-cpu lower their priority even if the flash looks bad.
  If I have 30-40 tabs i dont want to slow my comp 'cause someone decided
  to make heavy flash..
14. Look at what plugins ppl are doing and include them or ease their inclusions..:)
15. As per old Galeon - Handler so that we can redirect dloads/mail etc.. to other 
programs.
  If it have it's own dload manager it has to support  2 very important things :
   - continuing stopped dloads
   - setting dload speed
   otherwise it is useless...

what u think ?

I think mozilla-firebird is hot. It will do a lot of what you
want out of the box. And you can configure it to your taste.

P.S. Extremely stable.

I think you should seriously consider Opera and its features. It's damn fast and 
feature-rich. I use it religiously. Pretty small footprint--size 6, I think. Easy 
bookmark editing. Tabs are a snap--though I am not sure about this concept of 
'metatabs.' The Hotlist is beautiful. In addition, nearly everything is configurable 
in Opera. You can place anything you wanna see anywhere you want to--provided that is 
top, bottom, left, or right. But it's great.

Neuros.
