Hi, I am creating a web site designed to be used by a Kiosk, in a dark environment. The problem I have is because I use frames page loading seems to bit slower and so the white colour that is used to clear the page before a redraw is very apparent. Since Safari does not allow me to change this colour, I am planning on making a custom build of WebKit. For this reason I would appreciate it if someone knows offhand which file I should be looking at to save me a bit of time. André-John
You could also design your whole site to be a single page, and page "changes" loaded via xmlhttprequest. Then you could control your background color on every browser. ;-) -eric On Oct 18, 2005, at 1:35 PM, André-John Mas wrote:

You probably don't need a custom build of WebKit. You can instead use the WebView call (that should have been API, but was inadvertently left of the headers) setDrawsBackground:NO. Then you can put the WebView inside a view that fills with any color you like. -- Darin
Safari doesn't seem to have a nib describing the browser windows. Is it still possible to do this without a new build. Andre On 18-Oct-05, at 17:21 , Darin Adler wrote:

For a kiosk, I would recommend using WebKit, but not Safari. Writing your own Objective-C application that uses WebKit lets you get the web browsing behavior of Safari, without the end-user features of the application, almost all of which are inappropriate for a kiosk. Trying to use Safari with a custom build of WebKit would be a last resort; definitely something I'd recommend against. -- Darin
