aaah, am I the only one who thinks the new white context menus feel and look good? I like how nicely bookmarks are spaced... :laugh:

The jittery tab bug has been fixed in Chrome dev 28.0.1469. It also now admits to using Blink as rendering engine, although the UA string has yet to be changed.

[+Zlip792 MVC]

Chrome with Blink will remain on old UA String and also in one of commit in Chromium, dev removed option to revert new right click menu to old style, so --disable-new-menu-style no longer gonna works.

man, chrome really, really needs to improve its smooth scrolling. I keep trying new versions every once in a while hoping that its improved, but the smooth scrolling flag still doesn't even seem to work on a lot of web pages, and it doesn't work at all for the middle click autoscroll (where its needed most). I can't believe we are now on version 26 (and 28 for dev) and its still lacking proper support for such a basic feature... /rant

They've actually grown on me after using them for a while, but I still prefer native menus.

Anyone knows when will Directwrite support come?

[trag3dy]

I actually like those new menus. If only there was a way to replicate them in Firefox. :rofl:

[revanmj]

If they didn't waste so much space, maybe even I could like them.

From the dupe:

"""The current status is that Skia (almost) has a fully complete DirectWrite font host; it isn't currently in the source tree but is out for review. The only thing currently holding it up are some details in association with some other changes. So DirectWrite in Skia should be fairly soon.

Using DirectWrite in Chrome will then require some work on the WebKit side to properly use it, making Chrome's FontPlatformDataChromiumWin more Skia aware and less tied to GDI. The largest part of this work will be ensuring GDI fallback and using DirectWrite for complex text layout. These changes may take some time.

Sounds like #1 might be done by now.

Thanks for the link (Y) the new layout was annoying and almost reeks of Google obnoxiously pushing their search onto their users.

i just don't understand why they made the new tab page with a search bar in it. the address bar already acts as a search bar 0_o

Ok, looks like it will be ok in the next dev build.

A newer new dialog style?

Is it new or I got it first time?

Anyone know of a way to make the new download button show more than 3 results? Having it show 5 or 6 would be nice.

I just realized I posted this in the wrong thing. Why do they have to have such similar names? :wacko:

[+Zlip792 MVC]

Chromium started to override Windows default scrollbar to this:

and they added nice transition animation feel in omnibox.
