MozillaQuest Magic: Enabling Changes Made to Mozilla-Based Browsers & Applications Chrome -- A Tutorial
MozillaQuest the Series -- Building Your Own Mozilla-Based Web Browser:
Part I, Skinning the Lizard -- Introduction, Overview, & Basics -- by Mike Angelo-- 6 December 2000
The Lizard-genie is out of the bottle. Netscape 6 and Mozilla are skin-able. That allows you to change the appearance of these browsers, thus giving them your own customized look and feel. In Netscape 6 and Mozilla, these skins are called themes.
Mike Angelo shows you how to create your own, cross-platform, custom-built Mozilla and Netscape themes -- or your own, cross-platform, Web browser suite. Then you can distribute your branded, customized, browser suite to customers, clients, employees, partners, friends, etc.
