Aura

Project Goals

The goal is to produce a new desktop window manager and shell environment with modern capabilities. The UI must offer rich visuals, large-scale animated transitions and effects that can be produced only with the assistance of hardware acceleration.

咱们怎么支持NPAPI的呢？

NPAPI plugin support. This will never be required. Pepper plugins only will be supported.

Aura is responsible for the Window hierarchy, event cracking and propagation, and other basic window functionality (like focus, activation, etc).

Note that despite the fact that Aura is used by Views, it does not actually use Views itself. It is at a lower level of the onion. Think of it like a raw Win32 HWND or GtkWidget.
