Custom fonts have been changed a bit in v32 it seems (this might just be a Win7 thing). If you bold something with a custom font, it will sometimes give it a shadowy effect, but unfortunately just ends up looking blurry. This seems to be dependent on the size of the font, so big letters don't look bad. Maybe it's trying to do a half pixel kinda thing that just doesn't work out too well. Also form elements have new styles, so if you're a webdev, make sure to check your stuff still looks ok. (the new :focus outline was the only thing that conflicted with some styling I made on inputs)

Yeah, and the forms are still styled somewhat inconsistently, at least on Windows. And that's frustrating to me because the Web is Google's bread-and-butter; they should appreciate what a pain in the rear end it is to make them style nicely. I'm wondering if the blurriness might be something to do with better support for pixel-doubled displays? Either that, or possibly the font doesn't have a bold weight, and maybe they've changed the technique to fudge boldness?

Any chance of some advice on how to get the old scroll bars back? It's not that I hate change or anything, it's just that I fear change. Specifically, changes that are fuckin' moronic. Like, I get that browsers are basically just rectangles that the internet comes at you in and you need to make yours different from the other guys but isn't there a way that you could, you know, not gently caress with scroll bars? They're operating system native. Still, I guess that the crack team of UI designers gotta do something even if that something is just a bit poo poo. At the very least it'd be nice if the rocker scroll wheel I have would work and let me click left and right on pages like it does in, you know, every other application with a scroll bar I have.

Chrome on Windows 8 in "Windows 8 Mode" basically turns your Windows PC into a Chrome OS machine. I actually kind of like it. http://www.theverge.com/2014/1/14/5309326/google-chrome-windows-update-chrome-os-interface

The scroll bars are WAY harder to make out against white (almost impossible at a glance) and the side-to-side mousewheel movement does not scroll anymore.

The scroll bars are WAY harder to make out against white (almost impossible at a glance) and the side-to-side mousewheel movement does not scroll anymore. There was a reason put up on the google support page about the colorisation change was because apparently 'most websites have a color that run to the edges of the screen now.' You know, like how Something Awful, Reddit, Google Search and so one all have colors that reach the edge of the screen thus allowing for easy differentiation between webpage and scroll bar. Basically what I am saying is that this is loving stupid and I'm still mad at it. Some UI Guy with an @chromium posted:It's really clear what people's problems with the scrollbars are at this point, so I'm closing the bug to further comments pending some kind of update from the UI leads on what changes we want to make when. laff Sion fucked around with this message at 13:11 on Jan 15, 2014 |

Anybody else having a problem like this? It's really annoying. 1. Click on my Chrome "application shortcut" for gmail and login 2. Click on my Chrome shortcut to open up a normal chrome window 3. Now if I close the normal Chrome window, it logs me out of gmail on the other window.

One of my coworkers and I noticed that, for whatever reason, we were unable to scroll with them on SELECT lists in our internal time logging utility. Why? Who knows. But, since I can't click and drag on the scroll bar, and since the up/down buttons are gone, the only way we can scroll in those SELECT lists is to use the mouse wheel or type the start of what we want to select. Brilliant, Google.

Is anyone else having a problem getting videos to play after the most recent update? I'll just get a black box instead of a working video. If I go to the youtube site and get the video directly it can work, but otherwise nothing. Same with if I click a link to a PDF, very slow, often won't open. I went to chrome://plugins and clicked to enable all of them, but no change. Any suggestions?

In the beta of chrome, and now, everytime I open my browser, I get told I should disable my extensions that are running in developer mode to be safe and they have an ugly orange background around them? Any way to tell Chrome to shut up and stop doing this? e: I just installed the dev channel and it went away. I guess google expects people on the dev channel to know what the hell extensions are and stuff. Master_Odin fucked around with this message at 05:09 on Jan 19, 2014 |

Not being able to drag on the scroll bar is completely moronic.

beejay posted:I can still grab and drag my scroll bars, are you guys saying you can't interact with the scroll bars at all with the mouse? It's not consistent - thus far, I've only experienced it on some scroll bars on SELECT elements. I don't think I tried clicking on the track to get it to scroll to that point in the list, but I definitely can't click-and-drag the scroll bar itself. Mouse wheel works, so that's the "workaround" for now.

Sometimes, things sneak through into production that are pretty embarrassing. But of all the things they could be working on, new scroll bars should roughly be below the bottom of the list. And yet, here we are, with new scroll bars that are demonstrably less usable than virtually every OS native scroll bar control when it works correctly, and there are situations that it does not.

Windows has an identity. Mac has an identity. So do the various linux distributions. Theory: they changed the scrollbars to make that the native style for Chrome OS. Grain of sand and all that, but yeah.

The cleaner look helps make Chrome’s style more consistent across different environments. Google for better or worse is a brand I guess just like Apple and MS.

Thermopyle posted:More and more extensions are starting to do lovely things and it's getting frustrating. The Window Resizer extension which is nice to use for web dev work just started redirecting google search results through ecosia.org. That's a nice, charitable type of cause, but it's a lovely thing to start doing. Especially since right now ecosia.org isn't working right causing all links on a Google search page to not work. Just a heads up that this is very much A Thing that a few tech sites have started picking up on this weekend. It turns out advertisers will throw a four(+)-figure number at a small, semi-popular extension developer, purchase the rights, then inject their own ad-serving link-redirecting code into it.

Is it just the affiliate ads for HoverZoom, or did they find something else? You can turn the ads off in the options. There's also an option to turn off some sort of data collection. I turned both those options off a long, long time ago. Is there something else I need to be worried about?

Turns out I had some of the flags set to non-default values, and some of those values that used to work now break Chrome on Windows as of v32. So if you don't think you have any special flags set, it might be worth going to chrome://flags/ and doing a reset.
