Please add Client Edge style to the browsing window so to make the border to have 3D effect (as in IE 6):



For me worked adding the WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE property to the window of Afx:00090000:8:00010003:00000006:00000000 class that hosts the MozillaWindowClass.

I see this has been already implemented (although the setting is hidden). Thank you!


This is what should be added to the prefs.js file to enable this option:

user_pref("kmeleon.display.clientEdge", true);

Thanks for finding!

After a closer look inside KM exe:
it also has prefs for a sidebar now?
What's it for, any use for macros?
kmeleon.sidebar.width
kmeleon.sidebar.visible
kmeleon.sidebar.lastVisible

also possibly interested, but contained even in ancient KM1.6 already (about:config):
print.use_native_print_dialog + tons more for print
kmeleon.general.guest_account
etc.

Is the Perf the only thing to add? I am on holiday, working on an old laptop, and my eyes are not so good anymore. I cannot see if it changes my display or not. I made a macro. I am working with 76RC2.

k_frame.kmm

_k_frame_switch {
macroinfo=_("Select whether or not to display the client edge for K-Meleom's window.");
menuchecked = getpref(BOOL, "kmeleon.display.clientEdge"); 
togglepref( BOOL, "kmeleon.display.clientEdge");
}

_k_frame_BuildMenu {
setmenu("&Edit", macro, "Display Client Edge", "_k_frame_switch", "Pr&eferences");
}
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
$OnInit=$OnInit."_k_frame_BuildMenu;";
$macroModules=$macroModules."k_frame;";

Yes, it is the only thing to add, works well for me (better than on the first screenshot because the redunant separator is also removed):



A disadvantage is that it also appears in some dialogs.

By the way, what are the macros for? Can you explain? Is it something that would modify the menu in the later releases?

How did you do this?

A macro is a special text file with commands that is read at KM startup. A macro can create a menu item for use while KM is running.

To use the macro k_frame, copy all the code beginning with the first line starting with a '#'. Paste the code into a text editor like notepad. Save the file as k_frame.kmm. Be sure to save as all types so that notepad will not add the extension 'txt'.

Copy the k_frame.kmm file to the macros folder in your KM root folder. When you next start KM the macro will be read in and you can see a new menu item in the EDIT menu.

Using Window Detective for instance.

What's the purpose of a macro if one can directly change the prefs file? Or macro is going to be merged to the distribution?

Does Window Detective show a method to use JScript via WScript to add the property? I see that the software is on Sourceforge. I would like to have a way to add the property automaticly.

My macro is a method (temporary) to allow user to set the value TRUE or FALSE. I cannot change the EDIT > PREFERENCES > GUI APPEARANCE > AT STARTUP panel. I think that is where the user should be able to make the choice.

What do you mean? There is a pref option already. In general you can use AHK or VBScript or whatever to add such property. Window Detective does not allow to do it automatically.

Anixx,

like any other application-related macrolanguage (or script language) KM's one is the scripting way to manage the application not by GUI, but through scripts. Or macros.

Well we call 'macros' both the kmm-files and single 'command units' (I don't know how to call this correct - I'm not a coder) in this files that are responsive for some particular action.

These macros not only can change prefs or add menu items. They do interact with KM application itself, forcing it do some useful things - single, multiple, cascading, parallel, etc.

Every macrofile (*.kmm) is read on the startup and usually it adds some GUI element (menu item, button, hotkey) to interact with user, to give user new possibilities, new options and functions of browser. But also they may have no one - just defining the conditions to do something automatically.

Well, KM macros are that thing what you call 'addon' or 'extension' in other browsers.

But also some in-built basic functions of K-Meleon browser are implemented through macros too. So we can say KM is natively modular and extendable browser.

You can read more technical info about KM macrolanguage here.

Yes, but the link is setting russian language. Am afraid only the english version gets occasional a few updates, and there were quite a bunch since KM7X...

I know, siria,

but I think Anixx isn't ready to start writing macros immediately. Just asked about them in general ;-)
