Finetuning

There is some of finetuning that you might want to consider:

• Save the window position
• Create and set an application icon
• Set version information and copyright
• Customize about box
• Add custom behaviour, e.g. creating an PDF from an web page, or saving bookmarks...
• Adding buttons for something you want to (paste text, translate text, look word up in Dictionary...)
