  Looks great. OS X definitely has a great look and
feel.

  I'm not sure how the file .DS_Store ended up in the
chrome startup folder. Luxor picks up all files in the
startup folder (with some exceptions a.k.a. excludes)
and assumes they are XUL files.

  I will add the .* pattern to the exclude list in the
next release to avoid this error in the future. Thanks
for posting it.

  Luxor currently only supports inline CSS properties,
although the CSS Parser (aka Cypress) already can
handle external stylesheets. There's still some glue
code missing to make it work.

  Also note that Luxor uses Swing which you can skin
easily (that is, by changing the look and feel). Check
out the Saturn Times article entitled "Look Fabulosa.
Vamp Up Your Apps With Better Look And Feels" @
