Has anyone had this problem:

In FF4/5, if you snap the window either to the left or right in Windows 7, minimize the snapped FF window and then maximize it again, FF "forgets" the size of the window when you try to unsnap it. Has this issue been fixed in post-5 versions?

Not a fan of the overly curvy tab design, looks like wasted space. I much prefer the old tab design in the 3.6/3.7 mockups, but I think that was dropped due to certain underlying issues.

Edit: lol, I forgot the OS X theme still has the old tab design. It was just dropped from the Windows theme for some reason then.

I haven't noticed that problem before as I don't use Aero snap. but the problem exists still in today's nightly. so the problem is still not fixed.

Well that sucks. Thanks for the info, I use Aero snap a lot and most of the time it doesn't bug me since I don't minimize FF in that state but once in a while it slips up.

The wavy tabs in Chrome were tolerable, but I was glad to have rectangular tabs when I moved back to FF4 when it was released. It's just far easier on eyes and less distracting. The focus should be on the content of the webpage, not at the tabs.

However, I do like the blending in of the tabs that are not in focus. Basically follows the same principle that I just mentioned above.

been running the beta for 6 however, i am assuming soon it will update to the 7 beta once 6 is released.

The mockups are based on the Nightly channel, which is currently in FF8. Assuming they do implement any changes to the UI, it won't reach your beta stage at least for another 8-9 weeks.

Agreed the curvy tabs are distracting.

Just added it :p I'll make a topic in OS customization so we don't clutter this one. I still need a name for this theme.

    • 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.

    • 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.
