I've taken look at contents.rdf in /rpgtools/rpgtools_common/resources/content/
because it's not clear how do I register the overlay from profile dir. But I can't find anything usefull. currently we do it like this: ------------------------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0"?> <RDF:RDF xmlns:RDF="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"; xmlns:chrome="http://www.mozilla.org/rdf/chrome#";> <RDF:Seq about="urn:mozilla:package:root"> <RDF:li resource="urn:mozilla:package:mozgest"/> </RDF:Seq> <RDF:Description about="urn:mozilla:package:mozgest" chrome:displayName="Mouse Gestures" chrome:author="Andy Edmonds" chrome:name="mozgest"> </RDF:Description> <RDF:Seq about="urn:mozilla:overlays"> <RDF:li resource="chrome://navigator/content/navigator.xul"/> <RDF:li resource="chrome://communicator/content/pref/preftree.xul"/> </RDF:Seq> <RDF:Seq about="chrome://navigator/content/navigator.xul"> <RDF:li>chrome://mozgest/content/mozgestOverlay.xul</RDF:li> </RDF:Seq> <RDF:Seq about="chrome://communicator/content/pref/preftree.xul"> <RDF:li>chrome://mozgest/content/pref/mozgestPrefOverlay.xul</RDF:li> </RDF:Seq> </RDF:RDF> ------------------------------------------------- So the question is: How do I register overlay from profile dir. (I am able to install in profile.) --mondo
