Browser compatibility update for Pegasus (main)


Recommended Posts

Today we've updated the main news site for a more lightweight, streamlined version of Pegasus that should fix all of the reported browser compatibility issues that have been reported by members.

We've tested this on Chrome stable, beta and dev and I think everyone will be pleased with the result.

We've also tweaked a few things here and there, like fixing the Welcome, membername text and have added a "Review" badge to the main news view feed so that it stands out a bit more (like Editorials).

As always we appreciate feedback, and hope you enjoy these changes.

On main please CTRL + F5 (or force refresh your browser) to ensure you are viewing the updated site.

Did this also remove the themes? I quite liked the dark one which seems is no longer an option.

Yes, we discovered that all of the options we added actually caused quite a few issues with certain browsers. In the past we've pretty much settled on an update and we hope that this final Pegasus look is a good trade off previous themes.

Also, these updates will be transferred to the forums in due course once we're certain everything is working properly.

Colors are too difficult to maintain for the main page, but we're thinking of returning to colored sections (like gamers and software news).

No more font-settings? I have OSX Lion with Safari, and Segoe font looks bad and blurry (only on neowin) :/ Please bring back at least one more font (for example: arial or tahoma). :rolleyes:

Fact is, that with the lovely options we had we were driving people away due to browsers crashing on Neowin. Now it could be down to add-ons and betas and alpha builds, but we need a site that works all the time, on all browsers.

Hm. I'm using Safari on Lion as well and have no complaints about how Segoe UI looks. Matter of taste.

On-topic: I like the upgraded Pegasus. Nice work. (Y)

Yeah, would at least like font settings to remain. Liked Arial on the front page, not so much Segoe UI.

Overall not bad, although I see things like fade animations removed for the dropdown menus, and no shadow in the background - perhaps for performance reasons.

I think it only effects the main page. I hope it does not. I like The Darkside.

I, too, hope it does not. I don't want to leave (again) but the brightness gives me a headache.

IT WORKED BEFORE, DAMMIT.

You guys didn't read the thread did you? lolz

Wouldn't it be possible to keep the themes for front page and forum separate - as in have only Pegasus on the FP, yet offer the current selection of themes on the forum (for registered users)?

I believe that they are, at least for me. I use Dark Side and if the forum ever got as bright as the main page, I would have to find some type of CSS to change it.

This will prob happen, can't say tho its up to Neobond :p

What's up with the font?

Pretty much every site that I visit uses the Arial font group, and Segoe just looks odd. I would appreciate bringing back a font option, but apart from that I don't really care about the color changes.

Oh and I spotted a bug. The red editorial tag is not showing on the front page for editorials. Brad's "Microsoft, can you help us fight the bloatware battle?" shows the editorial tag in the actual article but not on the main page

    • Any so called performance increase will be in milliseconds, which nobody will actually notice in real world usage.
    • All it does is use the CPU more efficiently during boot to speed up boot times. That's it. Yawn....
    • It's not a one or the other kind of thing. Software should run efficiently, and the operating system should appropriately manage the CPU clocks. You could have the best most optimized software on earth, and it will still run faster if the CPU does a better job of boosting as needed. All this is doing is pre-boosting the CPU based on user actions, instead of waiting for the normal detection mechanism to kick in. If the OS knows it is about to need more CPU, why shouldn't it use that knowledge? It's the same idea of downshifting before passing someone, instead of just burying your foot into the peddle and waiting for the transmission to figure out what you want to do.

    • There really isn't anything magical about the low latency profile, other OS's do this as well. All they're doing is using your CPUs boost clock options in a more smarter way.
