Otter Browser Forum / bug: #496 update-alternatives --config x-www-browser
I have no clue where to post bugs, I am tired searching it, I think I do it here:

otter browser doesn't seem to care about x-www-browser and the list oft alternate browsers. When clicking on an URL within an info window within gparted otterbrowser opened it (although *opera* is my default browser).

There seems to be no way to tell otter to queue up and respect the settings made for other browsers (such as FF/IW, opera or others). It is not even listed in update-alternatives --config x-www-browser .

Please make otter behave a bit more cooperative with what a user likes for his system. I am waiting and hoping to make otter my default one day, but until then it should respect my x-www-browser configuration.

Thanks

Otter Browser Forum / otter-browser for Debian/sid, need help for building it
I am inexperienced in building software packages.

I'd like to build otter-browser from sources for Debian/unstable=sid. As you build it using Kubuntu, I assume you use the following files to configure the build:

debian.control
debian.rules
$PACKAGE.dsc

?

If so, could you provide those files as it would help me to understand what I have to do in detail.

BTW: In the long run, kubuntu.deb files won't be usefull to Debian users. So setting up a Debian build machinery would be necessary anyway (unless Debian picks up otter-browser, which may or may not happen). In the meantime maybe I could gatter some usefull info.

Otter Browser Forum / application fonts (menu bar aso)
Hi.

This is my first posting here, so I'd like to take the opportunity to thank you for all your work and efforts:  :wine: :wine: :wine:

I am still using Opera 12.16 (on Debian/sid(uction)) as it still is the best browser available. But since I've heard of otter-browser I'm following its development. I installed beta2 (and while waiting for beta3 I installed weekly36) and I give otter-browser a try from time to time.

One (but not the only) reason for using still Opera is the integrated mail, which included in the side bar gives me an overniew AND quick access to all communication I need *without hiding* the browser with a complete tab. That's one of the most important features I want and a feature that hopefully otter-browser will provide one day.

Today I tried to find out how to change the font size of otter-browser ( I am NOT talking about the html-part, but about the application itself, titels of the tabs, menü bar etc.

I was looking in about:config, and in settings. I understand the application itself relies on QT like my KDE applications  do (I am NOT using KDE desktop but fluxbox). As my installed KDE applications (like dolphin or K3b) show a reasonable font size, I am wondering what engine otter-browser relies on or simply: how can I make the application's fonts bigger and thicker?

Thanks.
