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

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:

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

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.

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      Any decent ITSM will A) have a web form that allows a user to raise a ticket, if you're writing an email you can write a ticket. B) Monitor a mailbox and auto-generate tickets based on inbound mails for those users that really can't get their heads around the concept that if you have an issue you go to support.mycompany.com and fill in the box. From your description you're having users email the desk, and then having a human read each one and manually raise a ticket on behalf of the user.

      Fixing things? Have you ever tried linux? Everything works out of the box nowadays in most common hardware. This includes Wifi and Bluetooth. If anything, if they return back to windows is because they haven't found an equivalent program which often used on windows.
