Show a background-image (or several) at "about:home" (default Start page in KM74 or newer)
The
image, zoom, and active css-file can be switched via MENU.
Optionally edit
colors, position of search-box etc. manually in a CSS-file (default is "/macros/style_abouthome.css")
Looking for nice background pictures?
Take your own photos or whatever you like, or try the included free example pics
(That's why the download got a little bigger, and if you like them, find yet more example pics in the next post below - couldn't resist :cool
Had to squeeze the image quality for smaller file size, but a list with links to the original bigger images is included.
Or start here:
C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper
www.deviantart.com/browse/all/photography/nature/?order=9 (not free)
www.publicdomainpictures.net/top-images.php (source of included example pics)
You can choose between
2 versions - BIG or MINI macro!
Only the big one has the long MENU, the tiny one can only open the css-file by menu.
But the basic function really is extremely simple:
==> the macro checks after each page load if the URL is "about:home" and if yes, it adds your css-file in the page header.
All the rest of the bigger macro is just gimmicks for easier customizing by menu, storing 3 settings in a pref, and also includes a couple example pics in /macros/backpics
EXTRA: the MENU is already
translated in all languages!
By using a bit creative "recycling" of already existing menu strings :cool:
Although on Russian and Chinese there's a bug with "composed" strings, so 2 entries will stay english (Image=CSS / Zoom=CSS). The tooltips are english too except 1 translated line.
Installation:
As usual: Download the attached 7z-file, right-click and unzip it into your K-Meleon folder.
The files will all land in the root-macros folder, but if you prefer them in your profile-macros folder, just move them there. The mini-macro does not check the path automatically, but can be edited inside the kmm.
