OK, here's the official en-US language pack for Firescape 0.1b3 (Windows only). If anyone wants a language pack for another language, post here the language and operating system and I might try to make one.

Thanks. I downloaded it, but how do I install it?

It's a XPI, just drop it into the extensions window and it will do its thing.

Also...

I've been playing with the language XPIs, and created a script to convert a language pack to firescape automatically. I also created another which takes all available firefox language packs and passes them to the first script. So soon, I should have all language packs, and will upload them all.

Thanks.

Also, I went to test the uninstaller and I got this error:

I think it is related to me tring to install that Firefox language pack, or maybe whan I tried to import the [tt]chrome\en-US\[/tt] folder from beta 2. Regardless, I'm not sure why it's happening, but it's preventing me from uninstalling the program. I'm not sure if it matters, but I didn't install Firescape in the default location.

I didn't test the uninstaller either. I'll have to fix that. In the meantime, to uninstall it, just remove the whole dir.

I just noticed that the Firescape installer seems to put an entry under Internet in Windows XP and 2003's Start Menu options. Right click on the Start Button > Properties > Choose Start Menu radio button > click Customize > under the Show on Start menu option for Internet, Mozilla Firefox appeared in the list after installing Firescape. There is a seperate Firescape entry. If I choose the "Mozilla Firefox" option a broken shortcut is added to the Start Menu.

Edit: I found the entry in the Registry at [tt]HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\StartMenuInternet[/tt]. It seems the "Mozilla Firefox" entry is tied to the Firescape install directory.

I believe that specific problem is tied to one of two places: the executable, or a file in en-US.jar called brand.properties. Make sure you set "Mozilla Firefox" to say "Firescape" in brand.properties. Furthermore, you may need to modify some resources in the executable using Resource Hacker or a similar PE-editing tool. If what holds true for Firefox is true for Seamonkey, the fields you need to edit are located in what should be the only string table that you can view.

Code: Select all
STRINGTABLE
LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US
{
102,    "Mozilla Firefox"
103,    "Mozilla Firefox"
}


to this

Code: Select all
STRINGTABLE
LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US
{
102,    "Firescape"
103,    "Firescape"
}

Re: en-GB vs en-US . . .

The only differences between en-GB and en-US, is the use of British English (aka proper English
or The Queen's English) spellings of certain words, rather than the American English spellings.

Functionality wise, they're pretty much the same as each other . . .

Since Mac OS X users were pretty much left out on the latest beta, beta 3, the next version will have a major Mac OS X improvement:

Full native aqua widgets on HTML pages! Something that, so far, was unseen on any version of Firefox! Stay tuned for more! ;)

What should I be looking at from the screenshot?

And what are the "aqua widgets"?

The controls in the screenshot, inside the webpage, are Aqua controls, not the "Windows 9x-like" controls that regular Firefox has.

In comparison, here is a screenshot of Firefox as it looks like by default.

I installed Firescape 0.1 RC1.
After installing, I double clicked Firescape.app (under /Applications/Firescape ), it won't launch.
