There are a few discussion going on on W3C regarding applications in the browser, like metatags to get chromeless browser. HTML 5 has somes integration features as well: navigator.registerProtocolHandler(), navigator.registerContentHandler(), etc. It is worth considering if you want any tab to be able to act as an application, or only the one that ask to be considered like that. > My idea would be more revolutionary and is nevertheless technically > feasible.

That does not sounds like a big deal to implement on Rekonq's side. IE and Firefox do that as well on Windows. But would someone really want to alt-tab over each tab of a window? I typically have a few dozens of tabs open. This is also going in the opposite direction of what you suggest in the introduction. Web application should have their own chromeless window. cheers, Benjamin _______________________________________________ rekonq mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/rekonq
