Pyro README http://pyrodesktop.org Copyright (C) 2007 Please send questions and suggestions to . --- About Pyro ========== Pyro is a desktop environment for Linux built on Mozilla Firefox. At the core, Pyro is a windowing system which richly integrates the capabilities of modern Web Sites with existing native applications. Pyro creates a Web-based desktop by drawing your entire screen as a Web Page. Using the trusted Mozilla Add-On system, all the capabilities of dynamic HTML, JavaScript, and CSS are exposed to enable incredible extensions and themes. Using the newest generation of Linux display technology, called window compositing, Pyro deftly handles native applications as a regular part of the Web Desktop. The Pyro Desktop homepage can be found at http://pyrodesktop.org. See COPYING file for Pyro licensing details. Building ======== To compile the Pyro Firefox extension, you must have the Firefox devel package installed for your distribution, as well as the XComposite and XDamage X11 extension headers. $ ./configure $ make $ make xpi Then open a browser to the location of the generated .xpi file to install the extension you just built.
