Recently 8-Bit Show And Tell made a video about a C64 Asteroids Emulator mentioning the DVG.

Thanks for the cool examples, i learned only now how useful DisableWindow() can be :shock:

I assume its the same for the WebGadget() ?
How about the history, is there a way to delete it ?

Is there a way to get access to a WebViewGadget() settings / features ?
Mostly for Linux (WebKit-GTK) but also Windows.

Stuff like this for example (WebKit-GTK):
