Intriguing...

@Stardust I hate it, and I wonder WHY it has to be so ugly. Let me revert it please.

Ruarí

What about problems with tab dragging?

@stardust: being worked on. We have a fix we are testing internally

Ruarí

@juanvase: Platform?

atlemo

@ian-coog: This is an in-between version, next update will be without the thick outline.

[New][Speed Dial][Settings] Updated layout for Start Page Speed Dials: like Android (VB-72606)

Is this about Speed Dial Thumbnails size options?

Oh. I see (the text below thumbnail)

I was searching for the List view.

Any plans for Reload all speed dial thumbnails and Reload every x minutes?

Change to Speed Dial thumbnail aspect ratio made a right mess of my Start Page.

Aspect ratio changed so most custom thumbnails will need to be replaced.
Transparency was lost. I use a CSS mod to support transparency for thumbnails and folders.

/*Transparent Speed Dial Thumbnails*/
.startpage .dial .thumbnail-image {
  background: transparent;
}
.thumbnail-image {box-shadow: none !important;}
/*Transparent Speed Dial Folders*/
.speeddial .dial-columns .thumbnail-image {
    box-shadow: none !important;
    border-width: 0;
    transition: all 0s ease 0s;
}
.speeddial .dial-columns .thumbnail-image {
    background: none !important;
}
.speeddial .dial-columns .folder .thumbnail-image .folder-flap {
    display: none;
}

The number of rows/columns that fit has changed. That is not a big problem as I can adjust it with a small change to UI Zoom.

Lol what has just happened, ratio 11:9 became 9:9 ? Furthermore I don't use SD title at all so it looks even worse, my personal verdict: NOT APPROVED.

Remember, the wounds of what Chropera was doing to the SD and its users for years are still not fully healed, we don't need to go through that torture again, do we?

... deleted. Hadn't read that the borders were "an in-between version."

There is an empty area in the thumbnail preview:

@Stardust You are seeing the "new look" at its best. Try using the Subtle theme with a dark background and custom thumbnail.

@Ruarí
[Address bar] Focus isn’t in address field when creating a new window (VB-77049)

I wrote in this thread, that open web-panels can steal the focus in new window.
Other panels and without panels not.

[Tabs][Extensions] Tab close doesn’t work after doing chrome.tabs.remove() by extension (VB-77135)

I don't understand this technical detail but if this means that now tabs won't become uncloseable anymore, it's good news.

@npro I see no reason for the change, maybe it is in preparation for Auto Detect Logos? I guess this is something that will polarise users.

I don't use custom thumbnails. I that a local picture for the site? I am too lazy for that :face_with_stuck-out_tongue:

I tried another theme:

Doesn't look too bad, but it is hard to notice the dial selection.
Also you can see that the black frame is too thick on the left dial (known Issue it seems)

Don't know if you have managed to read the last sentence of mine because I was editing it, this is exactly what I don't want to relive.

@Stardust That's an old issue, but anyway it could finally be fixed, right?
