Is there a gmail notifier that works for this yet, im using the windows system tray one and its crap.

I got Gmail Notifier to work on beta by installing it on the 3.6.4 (I have both versions installed) with the install.rdf file modified (max version 4.1) and is now working just fine on FF4.0b1.

I took the patch from here:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=574681

and extracted the css, and got this:

Bit old news maybe , but still

Mac to get Tabs on top in Beta 2 (july 22)

Firefox 4 Beta 2, Due Next Week, Adds Tabs on Top for Macs

Some other stuff due in Firefox 4 Beta 2: CSS transitions, better handling of retained layers on pages and a new feature in the add-ons manager that confirms when an add-on has been install

D2D/DW seem to actually slow down normal browsing. I don't think that D2D/DW are worth the trouble unless you primarily surf on html5 graphics demo sites. Especially since some of the more annoying text rendering issues require Microsoft to update Windows itself (e.g. light text on dark background).

The Direct2D stuff shouldn't take that long to get fixed, a lot of graphics work has been done since it first started that's changed how the window is rendered about 3 times I think.

It should be the easiest to fix now, the invalidation/scrolling no longer relies on the OS, it's now handled entirely by Firefox.

Edit: And titlebars on OS X don't render correctly now, since it's smarter at repainting so it doesn't trigger the titlebar to update.

i don't think that will matter, if i remember correctly, tabs on top for mac will eventually put the tabs in the titlebar removing that problem anyway

correct me if I'm wrong though, i'm just going off of memory

It's the same functionality, it's just theme stuff hasn't landed (and there's still going to be a titlebar, people didn't like it when Safari did it)

The OS X build got it months ago, long before the Windows build. It's just used for light weight themes at the moment.

It breaks the webpage up into different parts based on their position and how they move, and render each part into a separate part of memory.

For example, a fixed background image would get it's own layer, and the text content on top would have it's own layer. When the browser scrolls, all it now has to do is copy the text layer over the background layer in a different position, vs. re-drawing the text layer from scratch.

In effect, it reduces the need for the engine to repaint parts of the page, meaning all it ever really has to do is blend images together (which is also what graphics cards are very good at, which is they they eventually want to use OpenGL and Direct3D for all rendering).

Sounds good. Firefox's scrolling is very disappointing compared to opera's, especially on fixed image pages. (well at least its nor as horrible as chrome's)

Yeah, it's similar to what other browsers do, but smarter.

Layers will also allow for 3D transforms, and hardware accelerated SVG filters (implement them as shaders, attach them to the layer for the object with the filter applied, let the GPU do the rest)

Edit: Eventually of course, probably not in 4.0 final. It'll make stuff like TabCandy pretty damn fast though.

    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
    • The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.
