Roll Your Own Browser

Imagine my excitement when I read on MozillaZine that the O'Reilly Network Mozilla DevCenter has a short tutorial detailing how to create your own Mozilla-based browser: Roll Your Own Browser

The feature describes how to use XUL and JavaScript to make a simple alternative chrome (user interface) for Mozilla. Although the article only scratches the surface, it provides a good starting point for creating a more complex XUL browser or just learning more about the technologies behind the Mozilla framework.

MozillaZine said it first: I was expecting a bit more from the tutorial. It doesn't even touch on skinning - which is where my real interest lies - because I still want to create my own Mozilla theme/skin. It's really just a matter of finding the free time to sit down and hack it out, though. And summer is just around the corner. One day....!

Have a good weekend!
