Forking the project by Noxonsoft

[JpotatO]

Hello there,

I finally start to be interested in the development of the "Synthese" app by http://synthese.noxonsoft.com .

My main thoughts are to enhance this great project in my own way.

Synthese is developed using "Visual Basic" and ".Net Framework 4.0", then we need "Microsoft Visual Studio" and the ".Net dependencies" to code and debug it.

--- I used to use the original XulRunner app' developed by Mozilla, and named "Prism" (at start, it have another name now, and is a totally renewed project).

Synthese offers much less features, and the interface design is more interesting than prism, but we don't see it's potential more than this… for example:

• No right mouse click support on web elements, ie: not possible to copy a link or do any other action (except for flash or some embeded things).
• Not possible to open a page in a new "window", need to use the little button at the bottom left to open the current page in a new window and continue navigation.
• The only way to update the software is by launching the "Synthese.exe" executable, the actual browser "launcher.exe" can just show a little about window with basic authors information.
• For those that want a ultra-light web browser, like myself, you can't set synthese as default browser (well it's not it's real use anyway) other than editing the Windows Registry.
• The keybinds used to navigate more easily are a little strange too, ie: alt+left to go to the previous page.
• Instead of Mozilla Prism, it's not possible to integrate addons, plugins or themes.
• The window position and size is always reset (in my case at last) when launching it.
• There isn't any navigation bar too.
• The mouse popup menu is opening in all place possible (try to right click on a flash object).
• Not possible to download anything, ca be a problem if the desktop app propose to download a map or a thing like this.
• No favorites, No history.
• No settings dialogue, then not possible to edit anything after the creation of the desktop app (and a menu is needed to toggle the features write above this line).

Well, it's my first objectives with this project, I think that the official Dev's are a little slow (no update for a while, and the new website at http://noxonsoft.com is locked at 75% of update…), and I need to learn many things before really starting to improve anything.

If any of you are interested feel free to contact me, or watch/fork this repo' !

{?} I will edit this repository later, when I start to work on this project, for now use this thread to comment.
