customizing a program

mohtasham1983 · 10-22-2005, 04:53 PM

I have installed a program and I would like to change some functions of the program but I don't know which file contains the main program codes.
for example i have installed firefox 1.0.6 from source code and I want to see its main codes.
I will be glad if you help me

edit: Sorry, I seem to have misunderstood your question!

Just open up the main source files (ie. the ones in the highest directory) and read the code - it shouldn't be too hard to tell which is the main one.

Many programs have something on the toolbar.
E.g.,

firefox: edit -> preference
text editor (Xandros's Kwirte): settings -> configure editor
...

Wiggle around the toolbar for each program.

Look for a "src" directory.
