Last Friday, Mark Finkle of Mozilla posted his wishlist for XULRunner. We applaud his sense for what makes a good desktop application. The quality of our application depends on the quality of our platform. As such we’d like to echo a few we’ve stumbled over:
- Make hidechrome=”true” & background-color: transparent; work across all major platforms (Mark, thank you for championing the UI!). (BMO 322788, BMO 307204 and BMO 298889)
- <resizer> elements do not respect the document’s min-width nor their own disabled state (BMO 291331)
- Make maximize respect toolbar/taskbar sizes on Windows desktop (BMO 321595)
- Modal dialogs don’t disable hotkeys on parent window in Linux (BMO 290862)
- Ability to attach an OS “system menu” to our top-left icon (BSC 1791)
- Better handling of xpi extensions that are not proper for a given xulrunner application (BMO 313468)

SubscribeFirst of All I want to congratulate you all for developing such a cool media player which has a very bright and promising future!
I am new to Linux, I have been working mainly with Windows OSs until I discovered the wonderful world of Linux. I have tried of course many open source distributions of Linux but I would like to say that I am an Ubuntu fan for life.
When I discovered about this cross-platform media player I was shocked about the first good impression I had with it, it works just awesome for a new software like this one.
If there is nay way I can help, please count with me, I know a little bit about everything…
Again Great Job and Keep it up!!!!
Many Thanks and Regards,

Hi,
I’ve been trying to find documentation to support draggable windows with style set to hidechrome=”true”, your neat media player has a very sexy layout and I would like to have such kind of windows in my own XULRunner app.
Also, I’ve set my windows to disable view contents while dragging, but the application will repaint itself , since I dont have a very powerfull machine I’t does not perform too well on these operations.
How can you make an XULRunner window aware of such OS options.
Thanks.
