29815 - feature: xul-based outer window chrome

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 10257

(Core :: XUL, defect, P3)

Description

[andreww]

Sites like http://www.mywebos.com , http://www.desktop.com , and
http://preview.octopus.com feature IE-only desktop-like web applications.
It would be great if there was a xul widget which actes as the "outer chrome" of
a given window - implementing a min-max button, a dismiss button, etc.

This may not have direct relevance to the mozilla the browser, but mozilla the
cross-platform app creation toolkit would certainly make use of such a widget.
Plus it could be skinnable and styleable to look like Mac, PC, etc. windows.

I must amend this to say that I'm not requesting the outer chrome of a mozilla
window be defined in xul, what I mean is embedded windows inside of a xul
window.  I understand that the application's outermost window is defined by the
OS.  But I could imagine a kiosk-like application which may wish to have
"window-like" elements inside of a xul window.

Good suggestion, but no time for it in this project. Resolving as later.

reopening all latered bugs

Comment 4

Moving all latered bugs to M20 as ordered by project manager.  Although these 
bugs are now open, assigned and targetted, XPToolkit has no plans to 
fix/implement them in the current release cycle, if ever.
