I actually quite like this UI, minimal, simple and works. I'm sure a lot of people would prefer the tab bar below or above the address bar, mainly being drawn in the titlebar for the maximised view.

He's went silent it seems.

On topic though, have the IE9b1 installed, and it's working good, performance is holding up. UI wise it does need a few touches here and there, mostly what everyone seems to be asking for, the ability to move the tabs from next to the address bar to below or above maybe.

The fav bar needs work as well so it can fit better with the rest of the UI. The drop down menu from the back/forward buttons is gone, gotta get that back plz. I'm sure there's other stuff, like the whole Internet Options windows needs to be redone, it's stuck in Win98 mode.

He's still posting, he just doesn't want to face the consequences :p

Yeah, they mentioned that in the Engadget review. It turns to red when you are on GMail :)

I'm liking IE9 UI so far but the address bar just doesn't look right somehow. I don't know the right way it should be but seems to be kinda "off". Maybe putting the tabs up top like some other people demoed would make it look right but i'd rather the tabs get the full width of the browser and that they spread out to reveal more of the page title.

I don't really need the address bar to be full width either so it's kinda a weird need. The top up there looks kinda bland tho is the problem i have with it now.

I wish the tabs were aligned to the left of the window and the address bar shrunk to fit new tabs.

I think they need to be sites that are pinned to your taskbar...

And I'll stick to Chrome... IE just looks so freaking weird with the address bar/buttons/tabs all in the top section... freaks me out man. :blink:

If you're getting all freaked out about a minimalist UI in a browser, perhaps you have some deeper issues to address.

I know tossing out the "it's a beta" line is overused but with regards to the address bar, it does seem off and out of place with other changes they've done. I think they just didn't do anything to it and move the IE8 bar over for this first beta UI. There very well could be some redone address bar in beta 2 that we don't know about.

I'm all for having the address bar morph into a tab when not selected or in focus if you will. Like if you click on the tab or alt+d the tab would pop a bit up and expand into an address bar, you type in the address etc, then it would go back to a tab. They should also use the taskbar filling effect that's in IE8 and other browsers when you're downloading a file etc, so you get that effect when a page is loading since they seem to have stripped it from the status bar which now seems pretty useless.

I also think the download manager should have a basic and advanced version, like how windows explorer does when you move files around. Leave it up to the user at to which type they want, less info like now, or more info. The ability to pick which files you download through the manager and which you don't on the fly would be a plus as well. Small files don't need a d/l manager imo.

Did you run something that disabled Aero, and then it got re-enabled later? Sometimes the aero extensions used in programs to glassify more than just the border don't always catch on when Aero got re-enabled.

no, i havent ran anything to disable aero. everything else has aero enabled except ie9.

You only see it if you use the Add site to Taskbar feature.

Hi, as I have tried this feature with Gmail site, and can get the 'right GUI effects' with red back/forward buttons, gmail tab icon to the left of these buttons, however when I then right click the Gmail icon now within my start menu, it does 'not' give me ----->Pin to the start menu option...am on Vista Home Premium 32-bit...

Apologies for the double-post, however I was just reviewing this, and it looks like the 'pinning favorites to the taskbar', tearing the tab and dragging/dropping down to taskbar in only a feature in Win7...

Oh well, at least in Vista, I can add the 'website' to the start menu, and then get the GUI effects of the back/forward buttons, as well as having the favicon being pinned/placed in the same area, if I choose...lol

After a day of using IE9, View Downloads download manager does not open anymore. Completed downloads cannot RUN nor can be Viewed on that download manager box at the bottom as well. I also cannot send feedback even though I have Live ID sign-in Assistant.

I wish I could send my feedback on these two issues.

    • CANT FIND SECURE BOOT ON BIOS

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, Having a simple utility to allow Microsoft's customers to configure the context menu, with a few options like showing the current menu, showing a proposed menu/alternate configurations, loading and saving the settings, and a "reset to default" option would have solved this. Let Microsoft provide a recommended default look-and-feel, maybe a couple alternative configurations, like a basic/simplified version of that, and a more advanced version for that, and that would have been very well-received, I think. Microsoft could even had offered a library of different configurations, similar to what they have done in the past for Windows Media Player skins, Themes, and desktop wallpaper. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots

      No Steam release. It's gonna fail on PC. Even an Epic Online engineer said that people go there for the free stuff and then immediately go back to Steam.

      Nice. Admittedly, his other games never interested me, but this seems pretty cool.
