techno's version is working correctly, and the fonts are now scaling properly.
i've allready recompiled both (fltk + dillo) with the same result. dunno,...

but if i see dillo on my arch-install, i see a big difference...

trying more...

Great! I've installed the pet on my 4.3.1 system, on my 11-yr old desktop. It's fast.
Only problem so far is- how do I create a bookmark? I've read the instructions, and I can't see anything about how to do it. I've created the bm.txt file- do I just have to edit that manually? Or what?

Thanks, aragon!
Fonts look better than they did in Dillo 2.2.

Dillo 3 -- thoughts

#71 Post by session »

aragon, your package is working great in Wary. As Dewbie mentioned, fonts for, say, cursive and monospace display correctly without any config-file tweaking; this wasn't the case with Dillo 2.

My thoughts on Dillo 3:
Dillo's already my default web search tool, so the multiple search engines dialog is much appreciated.
I can't find it in the changelog, but remote images don't load until you click them... that's new. That makes a google image search nearly worthless.
The buffering scheme for drawing has improved--I think thanks to FLTK 1.3--so now I can use light buffering without bad screen flicker when moving (opaquely) a dillo window.
Dillo 2 had a nice way of cascading many tabs. Dillo 3 will push away early tabs and gives no way of re-accessing them with a mouse.

A cute fortune cookie: you can change the color of the url bar by middle-clicking the magnifying glass "Search the Web" button.

Have tested this on my arch install, can confirm that. interesting thing is, that some pics do load directly, other don't. I've cheched their bugtracker, there are a few entries about pics, but i don't understand all of them...

Double-buffering is a fltk compile time configure option. I didn't enable it in my static uclibc++/fltk1.3 build because it looked fine without it on my box and cut memory usage quite a bit.
Check out my [url=https://github.com/technosaurus]github repositories[/url]. I may eventually get around to updating my [url=http://bashismal.blogspot.com]blogspot[/url].

It appears that any image hosted on the same site--which these days is quite uncommon--loads immediately, and all other images load with a click. I assumed it was a feature, but that's a lot of clicking.

That fits this bug-report:

Oh, boy...it's a problem with EBay, too.
Went back to aragon's Dillo 2.2.
Fonts aren't as nice, but everything works.

I have modified Dillo-2.20 and changed the background color to white, added bookmarks and a custom search page that combines a Google-search with a Well-minded Puppy search.

You can download it -> here

Thanks Tman for this special version you've thrown together for us! :D I know that I'll especially enjoy using that Puppy search box for sure!! Hmm... just occured to me but I wished those who packaged browsers/puplets which used a hard drive file for its opening page like this would do similar as you've done - included a google Puppy search-bar, etc. ( Maybe they do and I haven't seen it. lol )

Anyway, I really enjoy this newer version of Dillo that the Devs have come up with as opposed to the older gtk1.2 version as it looks far "cleaner", more modern, and the speed is simply incredible. I frequently use it over the heavy-weights forgetting that I'm using "just Dillo". :shock:

Thanks again Tman!

Ciao/Amicalement,

Hi Tman et al,

Instant (or fast for dial-up) download of this 712 KB pet

Lightning fast in use, appears to need only some 10MB and negligible CPU.

Puppy users, especially those who are strapped for resources and/or experience slow browser operation may really appreciate this (perhaps as an extra - as whilst it's a miracle for its size - it's not the miracle of all miracles).

Thanks Tman - I anticipate this version of Dillo will get much acclaim if it is well publicised.

My regards

Addendum - amended

If when using the "Book" icon and the pre-set bookmark to this forum (or say, Distrowatch) the display is peculiar then click "Reload".

I made four manual changes to /root/,etc/dillo/dillorc

line 15 deleted the hash # and changed the numbers to 1024x720
to obviate clicking the full screen icon.
My screen is actually 1024x768 (not 720)

line 32 deleted the hash #
That apparently stopped screen flicker
ADDED My screen flicker has come back

line 36 deleted the hash # and amended to /root/downloads
My usual download folder

line 62 deleted the hash # and changed the number to 14
Some text was too small to suit me.

Then save
-------------------
Tman and/or other forum members may well have more and better suggestions, particularly for new Puppians.
======================================
Subsequently: I moved the file "dillorc" from /root/.etc/dillo to /root/dillo and then made an sfs (see note below) so that the 4 changes above are automatic on starting Dillo.
Note: Using Slacko 5.3.1 Main my homemade sfs loads and runs well, apart from flicker on a change of subject, but I can only unload it by rebooting.
