Redundant
Applies to:Dream Maker
Status: Redundant

This feature has already been implemented, or is already achievable with existing methods.
The Dream Maker's browser uses the compatibility settings of IE7. That can be a real pain in the ass to work with. It doesn't support most of CSS stuff (like border-radius for example). Do you think it is possible to change it to a more updated version of IE? Or you could change to another more user-friendly browser such as firefox / chrome.

Thanks for your attention
There is a workaround available for this, if you add:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"/>

to the <head> of the HTML you're displaying, the user's installed IE version (possibly edge on win 10) will be used.

Just be aware that this might cause issues for people on older operating systems.
It will also cause inconsistencies in what your clients see because IE7, IE8, IE9, and IE10 all have dramatically different standards for HTML and CSS support.

The whole reason it's locked to IE7 is because everyone using BYOND's supported Windows versions should at least have IE7 installed and that means everyone will see the same browser output and the developer doesn't have to worry about hacks and whatnot to make things look proper across clients (like they have to do when designing actual websites).

It would absolutely be nice if IE could be ditched entirely, but the attempts at making a move to Chrome haven't gone very well, lots of issues cropped up during every attempt made.
Nadrew resolved issue (Redundant)
I have not yet abandoned the effort to move to CEF, but it's definitely still on the back burner.
