In the near future, is official support for Windows XP without OCAPI planned? #151

Hello, I recently came across this project and I'm very interested, as being a user of older operating systems, the fact that community support continues for them seems like one of the most respectful practices toward the operating system that once provided us so many conveniences in interacting with a PC. However, I have this question.

Projects like Supermium started their development as a backport of newer Chrome versions for Windows 7, later adding support for Windows Vista, and finally, support for Windows XP.

So, I would like to know if this is the case with this project. If not, is there any other recommended alternative? Thank you in advance and I wish you good luck with your project.

It would be cool to have, but I have no idea if it will be accomplished, at least without progwrp style mods.

Well, I guess it's a difficult thing in the short term, but in the long term? By the way, I've seen another Eclipse project called ePal68, could you give me more information, thanks for answering me, and I think everything that encompasses eclipse is incredible, so I want to congratulate you.

The idea around that was to be what Lun3r is to New Moon, a more optimized and improved Mypal68 with features from modern r3dfox and an installer. It was to have a theme similar to what modern r3dfox has now, however I ended up making the theme for r3dfox look better than what I did for 68.

I might go back to it if this issue gets fixed. https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal68/issues/478 However seeing as it was closed while still being an issue, I don't have hope for that. Also I switched my main to r3dfox now, and I don't feel like migrating back if it does get fixed.
