OWB for MorphOS
« on: February 03, 2009, 03:49:47 AM »
Using it now. Nice and zippy. Only issue (which I'm sure will be fixed very soon) is that all fonts seem to be displayed as Times New Roman. Overall an excellent port!

Better than Sputnik?

Oh yes. A lot better than Sputnik (IMHO of course).

Yes indeed. Rendering engine's a bit better and it's more stable overall (I have yet to crash OWB).

That being said, Sputnik "feels" more like an Amiga program - slightly moreso than MorphOS OWB and much moreso than OS4 OWB (in my subjective opinion).

:bump:

Version 1.1 is out. The font issue I was having with 1.0 has been solved, along with many other improvements. I am *very* close to moving OWB to the top of my OpenURL prefs. I just need to be able to pass Youtube URLs to getVideo...

(Since my last post, I managed to crash v1.0 once)

V1.1 seems very fine to me. Only text input is not very amiga-alike. But all the rest is just pretty cool stuff.

Indeed. I hope that the string gadgets and buttons will eventually be replaced with MUI versions.

That's something i want too, but it's not that trivial. And that's why Sputnik or Ibrowse & co are superior in that regard (sputnik gained many layout/flicker issues doing so, though :)).

Also, consider having system gadgets would mean no unicode support (that might change though) and css styles wouldn't be applied to them (although with additional work one could derivate the mui gadget and adopt the css style).

Interesting. I had a feeling there was a technical impediment. Thanks for the info.

This is a much more mature version than the first one. It progresses very well.
The only thing that makes its use a little uncomfortable by me, is the very slow scrolling. It's slower than Sputnik. Perhaps it's a BVision particularity, i don't know. I haven't seen anyone else mention this.

It is not exactly fast on my Peg2, but usable enough for those sites that IB cannot handle.

I would never do that or want that. For example you might need hacks to work around 16 bit coord limits if a web page is very high. Other windowing/gfx systems have similiar limits but at least there the hacks are done in the GUI toolkit, and not in the apps themselves.

If it is not fast on your Peg2, it is probably a waste of time for me to install it on my Efika.  I have been using Sputnik and IB2.4 on the Efika without many problems, so perhaps I should just stick with them?

a very good port indeed even if (on classic) Sputnik is way faster.
