AFAIK there are only two such dialogs, and it sounds like focus / key accelerator issues should be things we could fix, aren't they? There was talk at one time about making more of the browser UI HTML based, having it tweakable by extensions, stuff like that.. but I guess that is obsolete now. At least for Google Accounts login, it was nice to be able to just use a provided standard HTML template and stuff it into an html dialog, and have it look-and-feel like GAIA on all platforms (minus a few kinks). To me the ability to do that seems useful in general, instead of having to "fake it" when integrating with a web service that has a well known look and feel (particularly on a platform geared towards the idea of integrating more closely with web apps). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Developers mailing list: [email protected] View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
