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:

 

Yes. Use a 13.3" laptop at 768-900px high with lots of bookmarks and you'll see the spacing problem. It was intended for touch devices.

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:

I only just read this and got all excited. I was hoping that Chrome would finally get a new download manager similar to the one in Firefox and Safari. Then I saw your your reply to your own post and that dream got shattered :p

I have a bit of a noob question. How do you disable your downloads from appearing as a button at the bottom of the screen until clicked. Sorry, I'm new to Chrome and didn't see a setting anywhere for it.

To my knowledge there is no setting to disable the 'downloads shelf'. An extension maybe.

Thanks Meph, didn't think you would need an extension for such a simple setting.

 

I found an extension though, here... https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/always-clear-downloads/cpbmgiffkljiglnpdbljhlenaikojapc

Good news or not but I see definitely font rendering got better in M30, I am using Chromium snapshot 30.0.1587.0 (215545). They might have disabled Anti-aliasing, and now text looks better, it can be placebo but I don't think I am that dumb to not know the difference.

I only see this change which can change something like this, but its Mac only.

 

 

Turn off antialiases text on the Mac during the layout tests. Using antialiased text causes thousands of pixel test differences between different versions of the operating system, and causes hundreds of reference test failures. This patch turns it off :). Also, this patch temporarily adds a mac-specific MacExpectations file to skip all of the tests that will require new baselines. This keeps the layout test archives on the bots small, and keeps the bots from retrying thousands of failures, until all of the new baselines have been uploaded. I will remove the MacExpectations file at that point. [email protected] BUG=264088

 

If someone else uses Chromium snapshots, can they confirm this?

 

That's how it looks like in Chromium right now:

EDIT: I think it is definitely placebo..

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
