midbrowser hildonization tracker bug

We already have code in the nsHildonXEventService component that explicitly sets the gdk_window title - much like the original libhildon API does.

Maybe we need to redo that everytime when the window becomes topmost?

Please outline which hildonization features are missing and what they are supposed to do.

Thanks,

So far there are 2 things that is visible:

  1. The title bar is not set correctly when we visit other page.
  2. The menu font and the ">" doesn't match other hildon app.
  3. When an application is loaded, you should see a popup
      window on the top right saying "Appname - Loading". We are
      seeing this with Midbrowser. Try gcalc, you will see what
      I meant. This may or may not have to do with the fact that
      the window is hildonized. Could be just a setting in the
      .desktop file (may be).

OK, thanks. A few more questions:

  1. The title bar is not set correctly when we visit other page.

How does it read atm? and how should it read (e.g. when going to http://www.ubuntu.com) ?

  2. The menu font and the ">" doesn't match other hildon app.

This is most likely not a hildon specific feature. Its just that firefox currently doesn't render arrows in gtk theme style. It looks like it doesn't use gtk to determine how to render the error; anyway, we need to look into the code to be sure. Once we know the cause, we probably will know the right answer.

  3. When an application is loaded, you should see a popup
      window on the top right saying "Appname - Loading". We are
      seeing this with Midbrowser. Try gcalc, you will see what
      I meant. This may or may not have to do with the fact that
      the window is hildonized. Could be just a setting in the
      .desktop file (may be).

the .desktop file approach sounds reasonable. In case its really a hildon feature, we can probably implement it in moz hildon component, but please try to figure out if .desktop file needs to be fixed.

1. For the title, the browser looks at the html page and take whatever is in <title></title> and display that in the title bar. We should do the same and display that in the "HOME" area. By the way if you visit http://www.ubuntu.com, you will see "Ubuntu Home Page | Ubuntu - Mozilla FireFox" in the title area.

2. I would appreciate it if you can look into gtk theme.

3. I will look into the .desktop.

Asac,

Another item needs some attention:

  * We need to raise the Midbrowser Window to the forefront when user invoke the
     brwoser or from an external link.

I tried using XRaiseWindow in XRemoteClient.cpp's SendComandLine and it didn't work.
Please take a look at it.

Thanks,
Carl

It looks like the title bar problem is in the Marguee Top Panel Plguin. I have created a simple test case and reported it to the rightful owner.
