These are my customizations to Chimera, starting from a 0.6.0 base (1/6/2003 CVS checkout) The license is that of Chimera. Source and a final (optimized) build of Navigator.app are in the disk image. All the patches are also in the disk image, or you can get them from my patches page. The custom_mega patch has all the other patches bundled up, and was used to create this.

For some things I learned while attempting these, which should help you if you want to work on Chimera, especially if you want to contribute patches back to the Chimera team, see my Development Tips page.

Quick start:

• Mount the disk image
• Drag Navigator.app to wherever you want to install it
• Open Preferences, Custom, and enable features you'd like

Customized features, v1.4:

• View Source respects cmd-click preference (new window or tab)
• View Source can be sent to external application (preference) (Bug 159336)
• Confirm before quiting (preference)
• Auto-save Window state (and auto-load it on startup) (preference) (Bug 152147)
• Loading bookmarks, Home, or Search respects the same preference as external URLs (new window, new tab, same window)
• Don't open a new window when restored (clicked on in Dock) (preference)
• Save/Open window state (open windows/tabs, to disk)
• Shift-Cmd-L returns keyboard focus to the Window (reverse of Cmd-L)
• Custom preferences pane
• All preferences are off by default, and behave as stock Chimera

Files:

• chimera_custom ReadMe
• Chimera Custom disk image - From my iDisk (includes Navigator.app, changed source files in .tgz)
• Alternate download site
