→Chrome Registration
There are three basic types of chrome providers:
==Content==
The main source file for a window description comes from the content provider, and it can be any file type viewable from within Mozilla. It will typically be a XUL file, since XUL is designed for describing the contents of windows and dialogs. The javascript files that define the user interface are also contained within the content packages, as well as most XBL binding files.
==Locale==
Localizable applications keep all their localized information in locale providers. This allows translators to plug in a different chrome package to translate an application without altering the rest of the source code. The two main types of localizable files are DTD files and java-style properties files.
==Skin==
A skin provider is responsible for providing a complete set of files that describe the visual appearance of the chrome. Typically a skin provider will provide CSS files and images.
