Introduce default-browser integration and external open handling across platforms. Added platform/default_browser.h with a Windows implementation (registry registration + settings UI invocation) and mac/linux stubs. Exposed new commands from the renderer (check-default-browser / set-default-browser) and implemented request/response plumbing in NebulaController (SendDefaultBrowserResult) and BrowserClient. Added UI controls and JS helpers in settings and setup pages to check and prompt the user to make Nebula the default browser.
Also added single-instance launch target handling: command-line URL normalization, passing/consolidating the launch target, forwarding it to an existing window on Windows via WM_COPYDATA, and exposing OnExternalOpenRequested on the window/controller. Implemented delayed navigation (CefTask) to safely load pending initial URLs after CEF initialization. Updated CMakeLists and platform startup signatures to include and accept the new files/parameters.
Introduce first-run setup flow and live chrome theme syncing.
- Add first_run_state.cpp/.h to read/write a first_run_state.json under user data and decide whether to show the setup UI.
- Wire first-run logic into NebulaController: track first_run_setup_active_, create initial setup tab, defer/bring up chrome browser accordingly, and add CompleteFirstRunSetup() to persist state and finish setup.
- Add SendThemeToChromeSurfaces() and handle "theme-update" and "complete-first-run" chrome commands; restrict setup completion to setup frame.
- Expose GetFirstRunStatePath() and GetSetupUrl() in UI path helpers and include the state file in the build list (CMakeLists.txt).
- Update chrome UI: new CSS variables and styles for tabs/url-bar; chrome.js can apply themes (applyTheme), persist/load theme, and listen for storage updates to apply theme changes live.
- Update customization.js, settings.js, and setup.js to normalize/persist themes, send theme updates to the native host (or fallback), and communicate completion via the native bridge when available; include customization.js in setup.html.
These changes allow the app to run an interactive first-run setup and keep the separate chrome UI in sync with user-selected themes.
Track menu popup visibility and propagate zoom level to the popup. Add menu_popup_visible_ flag, SendMenuPopupZoom(), and call it when creating/showing the popup and when adjusting zoom. Make CreateNewTab accept an optional URL and route popup/new-tab flows to it. Prevent per-tab child closes from triggering app shutdown by tracking closing_tab_browsers_ and adding ForgetClosingTabBrowser(). Treat MenuPopup role specially when enabling frame hit-testing.
Platform: remove usage of ApplyRoundedBrowserRegion and switch menu popup sizing to use resized client_size helpers (consolidate calculations across Win/Mac/Linux). UI: update menu-popup CSS/JS (new styling, font, zoom formatting API via NebulaMenuPopup.setZoomLevel), wire settings to use nebulaNative.postMessage for new-tab, and remove the static menu-popup.html. Misc: small chrome CSS/JS tweaks and ensure chrome state includes zoomLevel.
Add initial Nebula Browser project skeleton: CMakeLists to configure and link CEF (including post-build steps to copy runtime and UI files), a Windows CEF-based entry (app/main.cpp) that initializes CEF and loads the bundled UI, and a full ui/ and assets/ tree (HTML, CSS, JS, fonts, icons, and branding images). Update .gitignore to ignore build/out, thirdparty/cef, IDE and common OS artifacts.
