Extremely small fonts and buttons on the addressbar That addressbar is a hack using new edje TEXT with editable set, why a hack? because it does not limit the viewport and provides a scroller, so text will just overflow if url is too big or window is too small. Going elementary there is much better. Actually raster already said he'd like an optional elm_webkit to nicely integrate. > 5.

The gui elements are not transparent. (so occupy screen space) Just having them to be transparent will not help that much, My idea is to, one day, have the toolbar to become smaller when you mouse out of it. but it being transparent and over the page implies that one will always have something overlaid on top of page, possibly loosing the first line of text. > Positives: > 1.

EWK api is so small you could do python bindings for it and write your initial code/mockups in Python. :-) -- Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri http://profusion.mobi embedded systems -------------------------------------- MSN: bar...@gm...
