The theme is still far from finished by the looks of things. If you compare the screenshot above to this, it shows. Also there's a load of PSD's on there if someone wants to recreate the theme exactly to specification.

Please forgive my lack of knowledge and the lack of time I have for research... what is D2D and what will it provide me with in terms of 'nicety'? :)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct2D

You'll get nicer fonts for one with D2D.

The problem I have when enabling D2D is that the pages load, but sometimes the rendered page isn't shown, just a blank one. If I minimize and then maximize Firefox, the page appears.

Running Vista with a DirectX 10 card.

I'm Also running vista, and this happens to me to. Also, the blank page has images of all the flash objects that were in the window, so if i was watching youtube, the page would have a frame from the youtube video on it. Does anyone know of this happening in windows 7?

how do you activate the tab candy and that?

Hit the "panorama" button, which is next to the dropdown on the right of your tab bar.

It probably isn't there if you have an existing profile, so you can add it using rightclick/customize and choosing "tab groups". Put it wherever you want, but I believe it belongs between the "new tab" button and the "tab list dropdown" button.

Alt-view / group your tabs also brings it up.

Happens every now and then to me in Firefox 3.6 as well as in 4.

Really goddamn annoying :(. It makes it impossible to click the X (close) button on the firefox window, and the only way to exit out of Firefox is to either end the process, or use the "Firefox" button in the corner, which kills all my other windows as well.

D2D working fantastically here, I love this thing.

0. Make sure you have the latest Adobe Flash Player version.

1. Go to pandora.com (USA only, no need to login)

2. Note constant CPU usage by plugincontainer and firefox

3. Disable D2D

Only at pandora.com? I don't live in the USA, so i don't care. D2D Works fantastically for me too! ;)

... and all sites with similar flash content.

... use significantly more CPU power than without D2D. I would guess 3x increase in CPU usage.

So that feature is already finished and it is enabled per default in the beta browser? And it's not gonna get better in later releases?

The premise of D2D is promising if they can deliver in final release. Read up on the link to the wikipage given above.

D2D is enabled if (DX10 == true).

There are D2D bug reports for overall and case based perf. increase.

There are also two bug reports dealing w. bad D2D flash performance.

Whether flash D2D issues will be fixed, the answer may be "yes".

For now, I will snarl at anyone who praises FF's D2D implementation.

:)

Loading && GUI && plugin loading performance suffer with D2D.

D2D does offer scrolling perf. increases though....

how do you enable/disable D2D

i can't seem to find it in about:config

How to Turn on Direct2D & DirectWrite for Windows 7 and Windows Vista SP2 (With Platform Update):

1. Type: "about:config" in the 'AwesomeBar' and hit Enter.

- Search for "gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.enabled".

- Select "gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.enabled" and double click to set the Pref to "True"

2. In about:config still, Search for "mozilla.widget.render-mode".

- If its not there then add it. (Right Click anywhere and select "NEW" then "Integer". Add in the pref without quotes.)

- In the next Dialog type in a value of "6" without quotes.

3. Restart The Browser.

If successful, the fonts on the page and browser should be anti-aliased. Websites with large images should load faster, and any SVG examples should be much faster.

To turn it off:

In about:config, Search for "mozilla.widget.render-mode".

- If its not there then add it. (Right Click anywhere and select "NEW" then "Integer". Add in the pref without quotes.)

- In the next Dialog type in a value of "0" without quotes.

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
    • with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11
    • with LTSC and ESU there are still viable as a stable platform not that they care and let people deal with w11 crashing and burning every month support mean shet if the platform is trash
    • 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.
