Using an applet for this can be an option, but a standard which can be handled by the browser would be nicer in my opinion. Are there any ideas of how to solve this? I am not aware there are any standards for this yet, defining how to add these options to your webpage. | Using an applet for this can be an option, but a standard which can be handled by the browser would be nicer in my opinion.

*'''Title'''. It would be nice to control the title bar with webapp-xul scripting, and/or use document.title . For instance, Gmail puts the 'number of new inbox messages' in the title-bar, so if I get a new message while it's minimized I notice it. --[[User:Robcoblurn|Robcoblurn]] 09:59, 23 April 2008 (PDT) | |||
host.setTitle(host.getBrowser().contentDocument.title); | |||
host.setTitle(username + "is instant messanging you!"); | |||
host.setTitle("You've click this application " + clickCount + " times"); | |||
*'''Window Alerts'''. On Windows, an application can blick colors on the taskbar, or blick it's system tray icon when it want to tell you something. On Mac, an application can have it's 'dockbar icon' jump up and down. I don't know what Linux does, but I'm pretty sure there's a way apps can blink at you if they want to tell you something. It would be nice to be able to do this in webapp-xul scripting. --[[User:Robcoblurn|Robcoblurn]] 09:59, 23 April 2008 (PDT) | |||

Actually this second suggestion should get quite high priority, because at the moment one can not use webrunner to interact with webservices AS IF they are applications. And that is the way webrunner is described everywhere. | Actually this second suggestion should get quite high priority, because at the moment one can not use webrunner to interact with webservices AS IF they are applications.

Currently in prism if you set the uri=mail.example.com but then click | |||
on a link to otherpage.example.com then prism tries to handle that | |||
url. I would expect it to spawn an external browser at that point. I | |||
don't understand the way it handles uri and subdomains. At the very least a context menu to "open in [external] web browser" would be handy. | |||

''Suggestion:'' The developer of the website... err webapp could use a special attribute for links to mark links that should be opened in a normal browser. For example rel="browser". This is would compatible with the HTML-standards. --[[User:Akf|Akf]] 13:13, 9 July 2008 (PDT) | |||
For my intended uses of Prism (Gmail/Google Reader/Calendar), this is a show-stopper. Links within the same domain (with www.blah.com and blah.com being considered the same, but subsite.blah.com being a different domain) MUST have the option to open in the system default browser if the behavior is to be considered "desktop application-like". It should probably be the default behavior. Situations where the link is internal, but the destination page redirects to an external site, must also be accounted for. Akf's suggestion has merit and I would also suggest that any link with the old 'target="_blank"' attribute should be treated as external, but relying solely on the website developer to put some specific code in place to make this happen should not be the only mechanism used. | |||
== Build == | |||
Can't find any information about building this thing, neither the install package nor the webrunner.exe that is included in the win32 build. Is the webrunner.exe just a replacement (does the same as) the .bat file in the svn repository? | |||
:The webrunner is available from the [[XULRunner]] package. There is not really something to build, they are applications based on .xul (see [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/XUL_Application_Packaging XUL Application Packaging] on the developer wiki) [[User:Rasqual|Rasqual]] 04:04, 3 December 2007 (PST) | |||
== Block Ads in Wishlist == | |||
"Add something to configure and block advertisement." | |||
Uh, I don't think this is a good idea. Advertisements keep the web free. Just as commercials keep over-the-air TV free. I hate ads as much as the next person but I would prefer to use something that's free as opposed to paying for it. | |||
I think you should remove this item from the wish list. | |||
-- Rather than a big discussion of ethics. Can't we solve this with the 'Adblock Plus' (or similar) extension? Theoretically, it is compatible, or can be made compatible. ---[[User:Robcoblurn|Robcoblurn]] 09:35, 23 April 2008 (PDT) | |||
== Url redirection == | |||
With Prism 0.8 (Windows) I've tried Google Bookmarks, just to edit/manage all of the bookmarks. If I click on a bookmark I had the Prism boldly going to any bookmarked external page. External redirection doesn't seem to be "trapped". | |||
I.E. the Google Bookmarks is something like: http://www.google.com/bookmarks/url?url=http://www.wildwildworld.outside/ | |||
Prism gets to www.wildwildworld.outside | |||
==Wish: Minimize to tray== | |||
It would be nice if you could minimize the running webapp to tray without using third-party applications. | |||
--[[User:Heinecke|Heinecke]] 06:12, 18 December 2007 (PST) | |||
I agree. | |||
==Overlays and files== | |||
It would be nice to easily apply a xul overlay in the application bundle. Would also be nice to have some sort of default nsIFile pointing to the bundle so that you could read files inside it (and apply overlays, load script files, etc. on your own). | |||
== Mibbit irc == | |||
Mibbit, a feature-rich online irc client, is an excellent example of a Prism app. Someone ought to make a webapp of the site and add it to the wiki. Prism + Mibbit has replaced Chatzilla. [[User:W3stfa11|W3stfa11]] 20:53, 24 March 2008 (PDT) | |||
== Find/Search Function == | |||
I love the Prism concept and I'm finding it very useful. Good job! | |||
I frequently search my web pages and would like to see the Firefox search bar in my prism apps. | |||
== Wish: Back / Forward function. == | |||
Please add history Back, Forward, functionality. | |||
== 0.9.1 upgrade == | |||
My firefox extension for prism just upgraded and now my prism apps are acting differently. how do i reconfigure my existing prism apps? | |||
== Relative Path for Portable == | |||
I'm using FireFox Portable. Depending on the number of drive existing, the drive letter to Firefox changes. Windows does not let me have relative path in the Target and Start-in of the Shortcut. Is there a workaround? | |||
