I always wanted NetPositive to run on haiku, but having in mind that its already too old to be good competition for webpositive
so i’ve re-created a NetPositive feel in my new creation for haiku called NetPositive Reloaded which is a web browser build on top of QT toolkit and webkit. Its already much faster than webpositive, because i disabled completely javascript which is still bottleneck for all haiku browsers out there.
feats:
It has already tabs [open+closing]
its fast
more stable that qupzilla [thanks to removing javascript]
works best in newest nightlies with QT HPKG pack
btw.
Im looking for original toolbar icons from original netpositve [transparent png] to put em into NetPositive Reloaded
Looks good… Except that usually primary browser buttons are on the left and you have the progress bar in between, which looks like a garbled button at first glance, until realizing what it is. As a bit of advice, I’d probably reconsider this.
As for the icons, if you download the source, there’s icons for WebPositive (not Net+ but close enough) that can be edited in Icon-o-Matic, along with all the other system icons.
The one place where a no-thrills browser might be interesting to me is on some older hardware which will only run Alpha3, and that would require a recompile. Are you thinking about distributing the source?
