== SeaMonkey Tips ==
 
<strong>Q: How do I change the Shortcut for "Bookmark this page" into Ctrl-D (instead of Ctrl-Shift-D)?</strong>
 
A: Use the following steps (does not apply to SeaMonkey 2.1):
 
* rename /chrome/comm.jar to comm.zip and extract the file to some directory
* in content/navigator/platformNavigationBindings.xul goto
  <key id="addBookmarkKb"... and change modifiers="accel,shift" to modifiers="accel"
* in content/navigator/navigatorOverlay.xul goto
  <key id="addBookmarkAsKb"... and change modifiers="accel" to modifiers="accel,shift"
* save all, and create the file comm.jar again (zip,store), restart seamonkey

<strong>Q: How do I display icons in Bookmarks and the Personal Toolbar (like Firefox)?</strong>
 
A: You need to make two changes within the "about:config" page. Use the following steps:


== What version numbers will be used for the new releases? ==
* First, enter "about:config" in the URL address bar (then click the acknowledgement to continue)
: The first version will be 1.0, following alpha and beta builds. This is in order to distinguish the difference between the officially supported Mozilla Application Suite 1.7.x and the new community-supported SeaMonkey Suite. This has been done for the benefit of our business users who will need to make an informed decision about upgrade paths.
* Type "browser.chrome" in the filter bar
* Change the default value of "browser.chrome.favicons" to "true" (by double clicking it)
* Change the default value of "browser.chrome.load_toolbar_icons" to "2"


:Subsequent versions may have the corresponding Firefox version numbers. This would reduce the confusion among users and developers about which releases have which features, and may make some browser-sniffing web pages work better.
(You may need to restart SeaMonkey.)


== When will a first build be released? ==
<center><hr width="20%"></center>
:The first build, SeaMonkey 1.0 alpha, will be based on Mozilla 1.8b3 and will be released soon.


== Where are the builds hosted? ==
-->
:As the SeaMonkey Suite is a Mozilla Foundation ''project'', SeaMonkey builds and release notes are hosted on the [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/ SeaMonkey Project page] on mozilla.org.


== What can I do while waiting for the first release? ==
