Hey there fellow Aussie!

I just tried 1280x 800 on my macbook air, seems fine on the newsfeed page but on the timeslines/ profile pages it seems a little messed up... Is that what you're talking about?

Only thing I can see thats messed up on the timeline is the status bar thing up the top of the page where you upload photos/videos and update your status/life events.

Here is a screenie to explain what is messed up on mine. Its in full rez so what you see is how it looks exactly on my screen

Anarkii, You're using an older version which is broken to death, please get the new version from http://thinqtek.com/newgenbook/ & by simply clicking the desktop -> Google Chrome

Remember to uninstall any previous version of Newgenbook & if the one you downloaded gives you an error simply open the extensions page and drag the crx file into chromes window... You should notice the difference almost instantly!

HI DEV HERE.

So just started using this again and I love the changes except now my profile isn't centered, not sure if it's supposed to be off to the left or if it's a bug?

Yeah, sorry about that. Facebook's code is sort of wonky since they clearly designed it for a fixed width and not a dynamic width that we're sort of forcing here. I sort of threw in a percentage padding on that just so it'd be pushed a bit to the right instead of all the way on the left for now, as a temporary fix.

I've noted this bug and am working on a fix.

Ooh yeah, that's an oooold version. I've had to fight against Facebook's code changes a lot since then. :p

NewGenBook 3.1.2 for google chrome has been updated, go grab the latest build from here: http://thinqtek.com/newgenbook - Remember to uninstall the previous build!

Change log:

- Ticker now has a shadow

- left sidebar improved rollovers

- New Notification Animation, not just a fade in fade out.

- Heaps of CSS3 updated in the code

- aligned profile/ Timeline (still a little buggy)

Also don't forget to like our facebook page

Opera, Safari & firefox have been planned for release next week.

Love the new animation on the notifications, I think it's more gimmicky than useful but it's a nice addition! And the alignment issue of my profile is fixed now so thanks :)

EDIT: Just noticed the shadow on the sidebar, looks awesome!

    • I'm not unblocking my camera for this crapola. Sorry, Google.
    • Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.
    • Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.
