Looks really straight forward. Bun GL has some disadvantages: No proper multi-device support. This would make it very hard to render images using more that one device at once.
Using multiple devices can be very useful, when creating animations. So you can split the task of rendering 10k images over two ore more devices.
Both: Multi-device rendering and animation-creating are planned with the 1.2 - Jul 03 2016

Sry: I wont build in an adblocker because of 3 reasons:
1. Need of maintaince an adlist.
2. Free Internet-services costs something. So some needs to place ads to finance them.
3. Whats the point of an adblocker at all? I understand not liking flash-ads because of massive CPU usage. But normal image-ads are "just there". - Mar 22 2013

Seems to be a problem with Flash+ QtWebKit wich i cannot fix.
If you don't need Flash on all sites, you can disable Flash for all sites:
Open the Pluginamanger(LW2-Button top right->Plugin hosts) and uncheck the top checkbox.
You can still allow Flash for specific pages. - Jun 03 2011

1. It is shown only for a very short time. Not that dramatic. If i find time i can have a look into it. (But is a minor issue)

2. The previes are created, when the page is finished with loading. It creates a screenshot of the webview and uses it. To have it alway up to date would making LW2 slow.

3. Can you give a way to reproduce the problem?

4. It is on the buttom side, because the user should not distrubed by them. When having them on the top-side you will notice them more. That can be disturbing, when you are not interested in this information.

5. Its easy to do. - May 08 2011

It look as we have the same approach: Making a small webbrowser.
My webbrowser:
http://qt-apps.org/content/show.php/Lightweight2?content=139266&PHPSESSID=13e74d593a427ea928bf8e656293a316
(1.9 should come soon)

Things i have learned from your project:
- QWebInspector
- The private-browsing flag of QWebSettings

Things you can learn from mine:
- Reduce contentsMagins to reduce space wasting
- Write downloaded data to file during the download. Atm you cannnot download big files with WR.
- Blocking plugins (Actually i have learned it from Arora)
- SSL notification and error handling
- Bookmarksystem with folders (I think it would break compatiblity to your system. I had a simple bookmarksystem first too and i had to break compatiblity. I resolved by automatically importing the old ones)
- Disable currently useless nagivgate buttons
- Tab-previews (will be in LW2 1.9)

Remember: It is your project and you don't have to do all the listet things.
Perhaps we can combine our powers.
My approach: Create a small browser that gives a less technical informatin as possbile. It's ment to be usable by normal-people and also gives wished features for advanced users. - May 03 2011

To fix a compile error on non Windows systems: in src/gui_widgets/SpinBoxDlg.cpp replace the first line with:

#include "SpinBoxDlg.h"

There are also many compiler warnings about unused variabales. You should either use Q_UNUSED(varName) [is not the best way] or rething the method parameters [better way].

Can be a challaging casual game. What is nedded for it:
- Build-in levels with limited items to be placed.
- Sperate Level-editor from game. Can still be build-in in the same execulable, but should be cleary sperated from the actual puzzle. - Apr 23 2011

Sorry, it can't package it for all kinds of platforms.
But i can offer to add a download link. Just give me a URL where i can link it too. (This URL should not change with the versions, because your packages arrives some time after my and i don't want to make more updates than nessescary) - Apr 08 2011

Bookmark import is only needed once. So including an import will not be included. Instead of it its possible to write an external program that can include external bookmarks to LW2. - Apr 06 2011

I found a way to reproduce the problem:
1. Let LW2 ask for a download
2. Say "save to..."
3. Select / as directory (Do not accept jet)
4. Abort the dialog.

I am working on a fix.

2. I cant get the height of the scrollbar, or even a info if there is one at all. Since the progressbar is only there while loading, it's not that nasty.
Perhaps i can make it more "intelligent": When going to buttom-left the progressbar goes to button-right, ans vice versa.

3. 1.4 will have the hovered url in the webview integrated. It behaves as it discribed as a proposal for the progressbar. - Mar 15 2011

1. The storage of theese data are:
Windows: Registry
Unix: Home/.config/
Mac: Uses XML preference files (dont know where they are stored)
For other OS i dont't know where they are stored (That actually the point of using QSettings: Easy access to config without thinking how it is donw)

Is the window always at the Top-Left of the screen, when starting it. Are bookmarks and cookies saved when closing?

Currently i think that QSettings on your OS doesn't store anything. In this case there is a problem on the Qt implementation on your OS.
Does other uses of QSettings work on your OS?

If even bookmarks and cookies are also not saved, then the closeEvent method is not called when closing: This can have several reasons:
1. Closing kills the app.
2. Qt on your OS does not call closeEvent by closing.
3. Methond binding problem (the C++ runtime find the wrong closeEvent). But i can't imangine that.

Sorry for that many questions. I am trying to find out whats wrong. - Mar 15 2011

The CacheLocation is there for the Cache. If it is problematic on your port-OS, you can easly change it.
So the vanillia code will stay at CacheLocation. - Mar 15 2011

Do you know where Qt saves the QSettings data on your OS?
If yes: Do you find configs saved by Lightweight2?
I think this problem is OS specific, so my only way to "fix" it, is to save theese data manually in an own file. - Mar 15 2011

I think your Problem with the icons was caused by using a non oxygen style, wich does dot have hoverfeedback on flat PushButtons.

Ctrl+E: good idea
1 and 2 : I think Ctrl+Left and Ctrl+Right are better
Ctril+B already opens bookmarkmanager. So i only need to add the ability in it.
I didn't mention it, but Ctrl+F4 closes the current tab (unless your system uses the yourcut for something else). Changin to Ctrl+W is no prob at all. - Mar 14 2011

The Favicon on this page works for me.
The reason why it does not work well for yo could be the problem with QWebSettings::iconForUrl() wich doies not give the wished icon, the first times. For bookmarking i had to use a workaround by saving the icons in an own folder. - Mar 14 2011
