Okay, a note on Dragonstone: the text is readable, but seems to be plain
text, so tabbing to what I assume should be links on the "test" page
didn't work. Although, I guess that's all I'd really need to know about
are the links, but if the output could be "webified" by an engine that
Orca knows about, like geko or something to GTK, that'd be all the
better. The only other issue I found while doing a quick run is that the
"settings" button is unlabeled.
Apologies for not making it clear that Dragonstone is in it's current state a horrible mess that only really works when you are a well sighted mouse or touchscreen user (That doesn't even include myself a lot of the time), which is the reason I'm giving it a rewrite (because one year younger me made terrible design decisions)
The settings button unfortunately has never been more than a placeholder and is always insensitive (it's a kind of reminder for myself, gui settings will come, promised)
On the popup window: I'll definitely make that one an option in the new version.
On the links: Can you give Castor a try and tell us how the buttons for links approach works? (I REALLY want to avoid having to include half a webbrowser)(I had that one in the older versions of dragonstone, but I realized that inserting widgets into text buffers isn't exactly performance friendly. If that works I'll make it an option in the current version, although I'd have to limit it to a about a thousand links per page (I have to add a configuration option anyway, so this will be configurable) to avoid sites being able to freeze the ui)
I'll announce the rewrite when it is in a presentable state, but please don't expect anything before September. (School is keeping me busy)Thanks you for trying it out anyways and giving feedback! 😃
