UXP simple app

[bmelo]

I'd like to create a Safari/Epiphany based on UXP. I want to compare how much memory (RAM and storage) a UXP browser needs if it only have a minimal GUI. Should I use GTK only or can we use something else for UXP app?

Off-topic:
I'll just note that I use an ancient version of Firefox, 3.0, yes 3 point 0, as a backend for ChatZilla on XULRunner, & that uses 50 MB or RAM.

That depends... would fltk work?

Just in case you are still curious what I mean

The 2nd one is way more updated... just a heads up!

If you are using Linux/BSD/Solaris then yes, you have to use GTK. You can compile with GTK2 or GTK3. GTK2 should have lesser ram usage than GTK3.

GTK2 should have lesser ram usage than GTK3.

In theory. In practice, however, I haven't noticed more than about a 5mb ram difference. Of course, if you don't need any gtk3 programs your system can run lighter, like with Hyperbola GNU/Linux (soon to be Hyperbola GNU/BSD).
