Hi Brian,
Thanks for the information.
My understanding is, even in mozilla, gecko engine is responsible for
displaying the
chromes including menubar, toolbar and statusbar. By providing the chrome
details
(xul, rdf files or chrome://....) to embedded gecko, i believe we can add the
chromes
to the embedded display. Am I in the wrong track? please correct me if my
understanding is incorrect.
I am trying to write an platform independent component that has customized
menu,
toolbar items and rendering engine in it. Then I would load this component in
platform specific container. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Ram.
