+Zlip792 MVC Posted November 22, 2013 MVC Share Posted November 22, 2013 Pretty stupid thing to do but well, Google Chrome again changed its New Tab Page with stupid Instant based although it was previously possible to disable it using flags but it seems they default enabled it. Also to use direct write in Chrome: 1. Go to about:flags and search for LCD Text Anti-Aliasing and enable it. 2. then open Chrome shortcut present on your desktop and in Target add --direct-write in the end. --direct-write Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperAFK Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 The smooth scrolling for the windows version is finally starting to not suck. In chrome 32/33 smooth scrolling finally works with middle click universal scroll. Still doesn't work at all with threaded compositing enabled though :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Zlip792 MVC Posted December 4, 2013 MVC Share Posted December 4, 2013 Smooth scrolling in Chrome is gradually improving and its already better than Firefox for me, although IE11 is on par with every browser in scrolling right now. Now bad news for users... Chrome 33 will contain new tab page with big Google search bar and logo in it. Instant API one and you can't disable it. Next thing is bug currently in Chromium, it send mouse events without any reason... Result is that if you open Facebook Image Viewer, its hover action activation state start flickering even if you move your mouse and some button and clicks does not get register like on Logitech support, you can't select stuff in OS 32-bit etc. Also Gmail tabs does not getting switch on clicks... Although its bleeding edge and this can happen, so don't worry. Just reminding beforehand though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not as good as firefox's yet sadly :( The new middle click smooth scroll is perfect, even smoother than firefox's and works on all pages. But smooth-scrolling using the mouse wheel is still b0rked. With threaded compositing enabled it doesn't smooth scroll at all with the mouse wheel on most web pages (regresses to scrolling in 'steps'), with threaded compositing disabled it does on most pages (but still not all), and with threaded compositing disabled there's a super annoying bug where pages will randomly turn white until you resize the chrome window. Firefox's smooth scrolling works consistently on every page and without weird bugs like that, so I won't consider chrome's as good until it reaches this parity. But at least they are finally making progress on smooth scroll [on windows], its taken wayyy too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why I am having different smooth scrolling behavior with Firefox then you because for me Firefox smooth scrolling is jerky and not smooth at all with middle button as well (could Logitech driver might be messing up). Although I am on Nightly, hopeful tomorrow's Nightly will add off the main thread compositing which will relax main thread little bit so scrolling might improve little. Overall Chrome is doing good job with its Blink engine but to be honest now Chromium starts getting more buggier then it was in Webkit API era. Don't know why.

The really rushed the landing of it and now have to work out all the kinks. I kinda hope they disable it for 32 Release or there will be many tears on teh interwebs.

No, I think it is because of their newly DOM prototype chains related change + Web Animation backend for CSS3 Transitions and Animations + Default W3C Touch event thingy...

Just tried this, made a marginal difference IMO. When is proper DirectWrite support coming? Quite frustrating this is the only thing holding me back from using Chrome because fonts in Firefox look so much cleaner/smooth due to ClearType.

Quite frustrating this is the only thing holding me back from using Chrome because fonts in Firefox look so much cleaner/smooth due to ClearType. Flag changed from --direct-write to --enable-direct-write , so try new one. Its landing bits by bits.. First they will add initial Direct Write support in their Skia library, remove Web Fonts usages... Bits by bits. I am also interested in this support, so I post every changelog related to it in here.. Follow up this thread... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Zlip792 MVC Posted December 13, 2013 MVC Share Posted December 13, 2013 Use SkFontMgr for webfont construction on windowsChange FontCache to expose the SkFontMgr implementation and use that to construct webfonts on windows. This way the appropriate font manager (DirectWrite or GDI) is used for webfonts just as it is for system fonts.
