with it? I found an OSX 64 bit version file here:

https://cefbuilds.com/

There doesn't seem to be any documentation for that part.

 From there, what is the trick to load up a local HTML page that 
says Hello World?

Mike's busy writing a book, you're on your own for now:

http://dblog.aldacron.net/2015/01/derelictcef-binding-to-chromium-embedded-framework/

You could try building and linking the sample code that he pasted 
there, using the standard procedure to link against C libraries, 
ie add "-L-L path/to/ceflib -L-l name_of_ceflib" to your dmd 
invocation.

Bad timing on my part, I guess. If DerelictCEF gets off the 
ground, gets stable, and has good documentation (specifically on 
the CEF install part is what I lack), then that's an extremely 
robust, cross-platform GUI framework that D can take advantage of.

I got DerelictCEF compiled okay -- it's the CEF install part that 
I lack.

Here's what I'd like to do:

* Show Chromium with my own custom titlebar, no tabs, a minimal 
menu, a non-resizable window but minimizable, and no page 
rightclick.

* Load the HTML into Chromium from a resource file.

* Inject D callbacks into the Javascript.

* At that point, I can use CSS and jQuery in the HTML to interact 
with the D classes.

Once the book is finished, my next focus will be on getting the 
documentation for all of the Derelict packages completed. 
Generally, I don't think it's my responsibility to document how 
to install the C libraries Derelict binds to, but given the 
scarcity of CEF documentation, I'll eventually put together a 
tutorial for it once I figure it all out myself. I'm eager to use 
CEF for a project I have in mind.

I have no idea how to use the actual API but to use it you need to:

1. Download the 64bit binary
2. Extract the archive
3. Copy the file "Release/Chromium Embedded Framework.framework" to 
"/Library/Frameworks". DerelictCEF will automatically find the framework 
at runtime
