Custom widget on extension settings page

[le...@cfotr.com]

hello.

I am developing addon for firefox via Mozilla Addon Builder. I use sdk/simple-prefs in my extension and it's work fine. But existed settings type is not enough.
I want customize extension setting page by adding custom control widget (specifically a clock widget, so user may choose time).

How can i do that ?

Basically You need to make new XBL binding for Your setting type.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/XUL/School_tutorial/Custom_XUL_Elements_with_XBL

As base You can use bindings for existing settings, all of them are
implemented in XBL. At least derive it from "setting-base" binding.

Hmm I don't think XBL is necessary.

You won't need to modify the bootstrap.js file, where that page says do X in the bootstrap.js file in the startup() function, just use the main.js file for your sdk add-on pretty much anywhere you'd like.

The main.js file is evaluated within the startup() function.

Thank you for your reply.

In documentation which you refer said that i should change bootstrap.js,
but I can't find way to do this via online Add-on builder, so i tried
Add-on SDK.

Inside file bootsrap.js contain a warning:
// IMPORTANT: Avoid adding any initialization tasks here, if you need to
do
// something before add-on is loaded consider addon/runner module
instead!

Should i ignore this warning and add code inside bootstrap.js or i
should add my code in runner.js ?
