A "special browser"? Doesn't AWeb do that kind of thing for the Amigactive
front-end? Granted, no frames, but the principle is the same.
Once there's less urgent bugs to deal with I plan on asking Olli to make
a "fullscreen" mode available, at least so we can mimic IE's action and
have the bars flit to the top and remove window borders, and at most
so we can be rid of window borders altogether (javascript and hotkey
control of the browser functions should suffice here to replace real
buttons)
Maybe then we can hijack Amigactive's CDs? :P
Thanks
