Dillo http://www.dillo.org/ is an extremely small (about 1MB), very fast, yet surprisingly capable web browser. Unfortunately I think many people might get turned off by its standard settings and apparent difficulty in changing the font choices. It is actually easier to fix than you might think.

Look in the .dillo folder in your root directory (or home if you don't run as root). There you will see a few plain text files that set up much of how Dillo works.

The important one for us just now is the "dillorc" file. If you read through it in an ordinary text editor you can easily change many of the settings, such as which fonts it uses.

But it doesn't let you change everything. The green background (particularly annoying to me) and the default font can't be changed there. To alter them you need to create another plain text file (in the .dillo folder) called "style.css" which consists of ordinary cascading stylesheet definitions. Here is an example:

Hi miriam,

I think the css below represents Dillo's internal style sheet. It can be used as a template for customizing Dillo's appearance by using styles.css

Hope it helps your howto

Cool! Thanks Bruce.

miriam,

Here is a link to a discussion in the regular users forum about Dillo. If it has additional information you want to add to your howto, you could copy and paste from it to here. I found it interesting.

Thanks for the link Bruce. I searched on the forum for any discussions about Dillo, but only found stray mentions of it in in the body of discussions. I hadn't seen this discussion.

I'll try to add much more of this into the HOWTO. Thanks again for the pointer.

I love Dillo, and want it in my Puppy 5.1.0, but can't seem to find a package for it. Can anybody point me in the right direction, because I don't know how to compile, etc., yet.

Thanks!

Thanks! Where are the repositories for .pet files? I've lost my bookmark, and can't seem to find them, even with Google. I must be doing something wrong in my searching....

[smokey01]

PET repositories are all over the place. This is a good place to start.

Read carefully.
