Thanks for the typo pointers! It uses DOM elements. This makes it really easy to develop themes with CSS. I also did some experiments with alternatives to Electron, but found that the advantages of Electron clearly outweigh the disadvantages in this case.

Thank you for addressing the Electron discussion thoroughly on Github. I am always very disappointed to see an application I am interested in using Electron. It is often enough of an issue for me to immediately write it off as something I will never use. I hope to see more Tauri instead, but you also addressed some minor issues about that option. I'll have to play around with this application.

  Yeah, Tauri would be great. But I think it will take quite some time until the fundamental rendering performance issues [1] under Linux can be fixed. There seem to be rough plans to bundle CEF on Linux [2], but AFAICS this seems to be only a discussion at this point.

    If they are bundling cef then it is rebuilding electron

      If I got it correctly, they would only do this on Linux to face the performance issues of the native webview. Also, there are ideas of a shared installation: https://github.com/chromiumembedded/cef/issues/3836 https://github.com/chromiumembedded/cef/issues/3836
