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

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!

    • Microsoft unveils new Surface Laptop with improved trackpad, Snapdragon X2, and more

      By Talys · Posted

      I am not a fan of haptic feedback touchpads. I've owned a Surface Laptop 7 (Snapdragon) with one and a Lenovo Slim (Intel), and I hated both to the point where I purchased different laptops. It's not that they don't work most of the time; it's that they don't work 100% of the time, and there is no advantage from a user's perspective over a good mechanical trackpad like what's on a ThinkPad X1 or a Yoga 9i. I do not believe that I'll buy another haptic feedback touchpad laptop again in the near future.

      Works fine here too. About this build, I don't like to download any kind of Windows, from any site except Microsoft. The mod might work, but I don't know what it's inside. Can contain malware, backdoors... Long time ago I've used something like this but reversed - it was 98se with the look and some functionality  of XP. Or, later XP with Vista look. But I made it myself. Not downloaded from obscure sites.

    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Rockstar is preparing to launch Grand Theft Auto VI later this year, but ahead of that, the company has revealed a new offer for some Grand Theft Auto V owners. It today announced that Xbox One and PlayStation 4 version owners of the 2013-released title will soon be receiving a free upgrade to the current generation version. The studio released the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 version of Grand Theft Auto V back in 2022, bringing significant upgrades to the original console editions. This included 60 FPS gameplay at up to 4K resolution, as well as major upgrades to textures, draw distance, and audio. Faster load times, ray tracing elements, and HDR support were also added with it. While this new and enhanced version needed a new purchase of the game to jump in, now Rockstar has decided to make it a free upgrade, dropping the $40 price tag entirely on consoles. "Beginning tomorrow, those who own any PS4 version or the digital Xbox One version of Grand Theft Auto V will be able to upgrade to the PS5 or Xbox Series X|S versions at no additional cost, and experience the best versions of GTA V and GTA Online," said the company in an official blog post. The free upgrade offer will be released tomorrow, June 18, for all Xbox One and PlayStation 4 owners of Grand Theft Auto V. Players who will be jumping in on the offer will want to check how to migrate their GTA Online profile from last-generation to current-generation consoles by heading over here. The offer lands ahead of The Kortz Center Heist hitting Grand Theft Auto Online, where players and crews will be tasked with stealing priceless international art from a prestigious gallery in Pacific Bluffs. It doesn't look like Rockstar plans to stop updating its previous game even with Grand Theft Auto VI being on the horizon. The latest title is slated to launch on November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
