A GUI application that displays a functional custom web browser.
This project is a GUI application that uses JavaFX libraries and SceneBuilder to help create a fully functional custom web browser that can run directly through your terminal.
Project is created with:
- Java
- JDK version: 17
- JavaFX
- SceneBuilder
- IntelliJ IDEA
I used SceneBuilder to create a layout of the web browser and attached methods I've created to each container and control. I've set Google as my default web engine/homepage where my application can be used to access and view websites. Each button located on the menubar is fully functional.
- File - a functional menu button that has a dropdown menu that gives you the options to zoom in or zoom out when those buttons are pressed
- Zoom in - a functional menu button located in the File button dropdown menu, which allows you to zoom in for better visibility when clicked
- Zoom out - a functional menu button located in the File button dropdown menu, which allows you to zoom in for better visibility when clicked
- History - a functional menu button that has a drop down menu that allows you to click a "View History" button, which prints a list of recently visited webpages
- Bookmarks - a functional menu button that has a drop down menu that lists popular pages I've set that redirect you to their associated websites
- " < " - a functional menu button that allows you to go back to the previous page you've visited
- " > " - a functional menu button that allows you to go forward to the following page you've left
- Refresh - a functional menu button that allows you to refresh the page
