Usage

The current demo works best on macOS at the moment, since it tries to customize its traffic light buttons to be seamless in the window.

However, We plan to focus on Windows as main target support.

Prerequisites

Windows

• Install scoop and then install other tools:

scoop install git python llvm cmake curl

MacOS

• Install Xcode
• Install Homebrew and then install other tools:

brew install cmake pkg-config

Linux

For others, please follow the instructions in Servo's wiki to bootstrap first.

Build

• Run demo

cargo run

• Or if you are using Nix or NixOS, add wayland and libGL to LD_LIBRARY_PATH in ../servo/etc/shell.nix

nix-shell ../servo/etc/shell.nix --run 'cargo run'

Future Work

• Add more window and servo features to make it feel more like a general web browser.
• Improve development experience.
• Multi webviews and multi browsing contexts in the same window.
