Meh, I actually like the new scrollbars.

[notchinese]

Maybe I'm blind, but I have a hard time seeing the new scrollbars.

[Boo Berry]

Well, I do agree there that they're harder to see. But I do like the style - if they had arrows and were darker, they'd be fine.

It seems the latest canary chrome has fixed what ever issue was causing the major perf regressions seen in the not-canary builds

The fixes have landed on yesterday's dev build. Finally Chrome dev is usable again.

Yea, I had noticed my regular chrome was usable again. Soo glad.

They went with the windows scrollbar look for all OS now, currently there are no arrows in Canary, hope that's just a bug because it looks silly.

BTW Current Chromium 34 scrollbar look:

WTF. Ok so apparently Google+ changes the look of the scrollbar, I always had it open to check for changes but now I opened a different page and it indeed looks like what you posted. Silly me (or Google!) :)

 

[revanmj]

Google changes look of the scrollball on almost all their pages, not only Google+. And they've been doing it for quite some time now.

Chromium is now Milestone 35:

 

 

35, brought you by Wikipedia: 35 is a centered cube number, a pentagonal number and a pentatope number. 35 is a highly cototient number, since there are more solutions to the equation x - ?(x) = 35 than there are for any other integers below it except 1. There are 35 free hexominoes, the polyominoes made from six squares. In science, 35 is the atomic number of bromine Review URL: https://codereview.chromium.org/166273016

Still haven't fixed the checkerboard scrolling.  Wow. Such Broken.

 

Even happens on Neowin forums scrolling sometimes.  :/

I think Google UI/UX developer just like Firefox fell over his head recently..

 

In Milestone 35 (Chromium 35):

 

Stupid color choice for showing suggestions... Don't you think...

 

Also FilePicking dialog after long being broken in Chromium is now fixed and works instantly, previously it was taking ages to show up.

[.stan]

That is probably not intentional :p

Wonder when it hits Windows!

[ViperAFK]

Wonder when it hits Windows!

Doesn't the windows version already use aura?

[Boo Berry]

Both Windows and Mac use Aura now by default, I believe.

The Windows version is using Aura since v. 33.

Both Windows and Mac use Aura now by default, I believe.

The Mac version does not use Aura.

[Boo Berry]

At any rate, Windows does.

 

EDIT: Ha, yeah, I was thinking of Linux, not Mac. AFAIK Mac won't get Aura implemented.

afaik the mac version doesn't use aura and never will (I recall seeing a chrome dev stating this)

The Cocoa UI frameworks on Mac provide a lot of rich, sometimes undocumented, behavior that we get for free. Being a true, native Cocoa application is the best thing on the Mac platform -- anything else will have Chrome falling into the uncanny valley. It would also be a lot of engineering cost for little to no benefit (or even a UX deficit).
