Still having the Segoe UI font issue on Windows 7. The Windows Live website is being displayed in Tahoma instead of Segoe UI.

It looks like a problem on Microsoft's end.

Instead of doing it properly (i.e. just telling the browser to use Segoe UI), they seem to have implemented some code to pick the fonts based on the OS the user is running, and it breaks on Firefox 4 (ignoring the fact that their UA sniffing code sucks in general, it thinks Firefox 4 is a mobile browser)

:drool:

Man!!! Anyone knows a exact Mac OSX theme for Windows 7?

There are some Mac OS X Snow Leopard themes for Windows Vista and 7. However both operating systems use totally different window layouts, so porting over Aqua to Windows looks just plain bad. Same goes for porting over Aero to Mac OS X. It just doesn't work.

I found out that proper interop support for Direct2D + Direct3D layers landed in the latest nightly.

That means, when using the Direct3D layers backend as well as Direct2D, all drawing operates directly on textures in memory, which are then composited together to form the final output. No copying or moving data around, so it's pretty fast. There's still issues preventing it from being enabled by default (driver issues, bugs, etc.), but it's progressing well.

Ahh OK thanks :)

Do you know if there's a fix coming for the bug that Neobond first reported where neowin loads, and then seems to only display the advert in the top right?

That's actually an issue with the ad script.

So it'll probably be fixed some time after Firefox 4 final is released.

Well, I'm impressed. I'm using today's tab candy build and it works. The glass only turns black when transitioning from normal view to the tab candy view and doesn't remain when you switch back like it did a couple days ago. Looks like they're going to pull it off after all. Switching back to hourlies tonight.

Update: Tab candy doesn't appear to save tab groupings between sessions, though; every time I restart the browser it goes back to the default layout.

I'm using this version of adblock on ff4b3 (fx4b3 :-p) and it's working fine.

Thanks for the links. :)

Edit: What the hell did they do to the Bookmarks Toolbar in OS X (b3)? They are spaced terribly, and now most of my bookmarks are cutoff.

    • Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.
    • In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.
    • Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
