< | *'''TODO -- Verify UA string'''<br />Need to make sure that there is a clear distinction between the application's <code>{name, buildID, version}</code> info and the corresponding info for XULRunner itself. For example, the UA string still needs to be generated properly. | ||
*'''TODO'''<br />Need to support application icons. The best way to do this is have the app author provide a suite of PNGs in various sizes, and then convert these to the native OS format (.ico, .icns, .xbm) at app-install time. See [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=314651 bug 314651] and [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=314030 bug 314030] | |||

*WorldMaker: In Windows icons for (say) .xulapp could be handled via a simple shell extension. [http://www.codeproject.com/shell/shellextguide9.asp An ATL example] | |||
*Make it possible to run xulrunner + app from read only media (CDs). Would be great for demoing webapps with webservice support etc. Needs investigation, probably something that needs extensive volunteer help. | |||
