what version are you using now that you see the new scrollbars?

[+Zlip792 MVC]

what version are you using now that you see the new scrollbars?

Version 29.0.1532.0 (204839)

It was two three snapshots back but now I am getting windows based.

[etacarinae]

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.

Opera team is working on spatial navigation for Chrome side and added some more codes etc in Chrome M29.

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

New Tab Page bookmark visual in M30, if bookmark toolbar is disabled.

Can't believe they're still using those old looking folder icons :/

Anyone else having issues with the new notifications?

 

Except for Gmail, all other notifications don't clear. They stay at the bottom right until I click the X button.

 

Anyone else?

anyone know how to fix up Crackly Audio/Video in Linux Builds?

[Marshall Veteran]

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.

[Marshall Veteran]

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..

Is the Feedback app on the New Tab page in the Dev build working?

Seems to just close the tab for me and the app cannot be hidden or removed.
