Chromeless Description

Build desktop applications with web technologies Chromeless is an free and open source development tool that can be used to create desktop apps using HTML, and related web technologies. One can use Chromeless to create all sorts of apps that can be executed like a native application, but where all of the look and feel, and many of the behaviors are defined by HTML, CSS, and javascript provided by the developer.Chromeless experiments with the idea of removing the current browser user interface and replacing it with a flexible platform which allows for the creation of new browser UI using standard web technologies such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript.This "main app HTML" is basically a normal webpage, but with several important differences:· The HTML file has access to a 'window.require()' function that it can use to access new APIs that give it increased priviledges.· (untrusted) Web content can be rendered inside iframes which are children of the top level "main app HTML". This content cannot tell its rendered inside an iframe, and has no special access to the main app context.· Several new events and conventions are introduced. For instance, the title of the top level browser HTML is the name of the running process (not yet implemented), new, non-standard events are available to the top level browser HTML which give it a priviledged view (and control) over embedded web content.WARNING: Chromeless is highly experimental, rapidly changing, and probably insecure. Requirements: · Python 2.5 - 2.7 What's New in This Release: · Updates to align with new view which Chromeless, 0.2, gives more focus to general desktop apps with browser like behavior.
