Building a better browser with GTK+

News

It seems that the development on the "Mozilla Classic" GTK+ frontend has halted. Development efforts are now turning to the new layout engine and cross platform front end code, together code named Seamonkey. The X heads at Netscape decided that now would be the best time to move away from Motif. They choose GTK+ as the target toolkit for development under the X Windows System. The platform independant code for Seamonkey has been implemented in GTK+. This is currently the code that gets used in the default build of Seamonkey under Unix.

Development

Building Seamonkey under GTK+ is fairly simple. The first place to look is the autoconf project page. This will give you a lot of information on the build system for Mozilla. There are complete instructions on building under Unix here. Everyone loves screenshots. MozillaZine has been tracking the progress of GTK+ Seamonkey. You can find screenshots here. Please help us! The work to implement all the widgets is not done yet. For more information on what needs to be done, post to netscape.public.mozilla.gtk
