delorean__ Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 When I take a quick look at the homepage it find that all the boxes including the menu bar are all too big and a couple more ad's you'll look like cnet :kayne face: just sayin lol I'm with bing on the drakside. Also something that bothers me is the size of the box when somebody quotes someone, it's too big and the bio of the writer seems way too big as well. (Might be done on purpose to give you fellas some credit but it seems big :o ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nashy Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Sorry guys. This makes Neowin look like nothing more than those other cheap and tacky IT sites out there. Hate it. Hate it. Hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ji@nBing Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Nope, thats the only version of legacy we'll see. Specially with all the good feedback on the new version of darkside, no reason to have two. Fair enough. I much prefer the old one, but I guess I'll just have to deal with it :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Sorry guys to be a pain here but does Neowin only have a select few of themes to use. At the very bottom of the main page i see only 5 to select or is there an option to have more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's seperate from the main page which is what this thread is discussing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+devHead Subscriber² Posted August 5, 2011 Subscriber² Share Posted August 5, 2011 I like it a lot. Nice work with the update guys! Especially with the additional fonts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
war Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Indeed, nice job. I wonder what "fix scroll lag" does though? OK Editing comments on articles is broken. Results in: [object Object] odd! With FF 5 on Win7 x64. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger H. Veteran Posted August 6, 2011 Veteran Share Posted August 6, 2011 It's for people with Chrome browser that has issues with scroll lag. Something with Chrome and shadows or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
war Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Well in that case I can NOT even open settings to turn it on (nothing happens when I click the settings button).<br><br>But yeah very laggy scrolling indeed on chrome. This is with chrome 14.0.835.18 dev .No errors logged in its console either.<br><br>And btw it automatically added the br for line breaks, that's not me. leaving it so you developers can see what is happening and hopefully fix it?<br> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David3k Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Yeah, I like the new theme, but I hate how short the headlines are, still. Neowin isn't my daily online newspaper anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightShadow Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Scrolling still not fixed in Chrome 14. Using the Dev channel and it's still slow, jerky and my CPU spikes. (I noticed my fans turned on). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightShadow Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 You enabled the "Scroll Lag Fix" thing in settings? Oh yes never noticed that, thanks :) But why's it hidden under settings, just curious how it's not part of default as it's going to be annoying every time I switch Chromium as I'm always trying out Chromium and dev builds and reinstalls.

Even though this is a tech site, we can't worry about people using non-stable builds of a browser. Let alone chrome builds :p those can be pretty wonky.

remixedcat Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 No, VirtualBox. LOL... ok. It's an ok virtualizer. acts wonky with ReactOS tho. VMWare runs it better. I've never had any scrolling issues w the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

epple Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Loving the new refresh (though I've chosen wide Legacy as it's not as 'boxy'), but is there a way to hide or minimize the "About the Author" box under the news article/tags? It's rather...redundant after a few times and is now only taking up space. Couldn't find anything when searching. Edit: Just noticed this about the Google +1 button, don't know if it's only me or not. FF5 stable. Sorry if it's the wrong topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
