![]() When you search for something on a site, typing the site name in the url bar and hitting tab will let you do a site specific search. Copy text, and “Paste and go” is in the context menu for the url bar. Select text and there is “Search google for…” in the context menu. This proves that the Chromium team is committed to an optimal user experience on Linux. While this isnt’t much of a problem on Vista/7 (the glass colour adapts to your settings), you’re pretty much stuck with the weird blue Aero-esque bar on Windows XP, which just looks plain weird. Linux fans will certainly enjoy these features which I believe are not available on the Windows version of Chrome. In addition, you can tell Chromium to adopt the titlebar of your choosing instead of the default Aero-esque variant.Īs the screenshots over at Ars Technica show, there’s still a a lot of work to be done on these new features, but it’s a very welcome step in the right direction. Chromium settled on Gtk+ for its toolkit, and now the browser window will take its appearance from the theme you’ve currently set.Īn option appeared in the options dialog that will tell Chromium to adopt the icons and colours of your currently set Gtk+ theme. ![]() The latest feature addition? The first signs of native themeing.Īrs Technica has been keeping up with the Linux builds of Chromium, and they found out that the browser recently gained functionality which allows it to blend in more thoroughly with the rest of your desktop. * Startup drivers: Lots of ACPI.SYS and PCI.SYS entries listed before any other drivers being mentioned once.Chromium/Chrome, everyone’s favourite web browser that descended from heaven to take us by the hand and guide us to the promised land of web browsers (that’s how I look at it, anyway, but I’m insane) has been steadily evolving its Linux port. ![]() * Device Manager: not tested due to above issue, yesterday's ISO showed lots and lots of double entries. * Shutdown: not tested due to above issue, yesterday's ISO worked fine, shutdown worked fine. Tried increasing memory to 1000MB, same issue remains. * Phase 3: stuck at Loading Your Personal Settings and no mouse movement. Gecko/MSHTML seems to install just fine, no download needed. Anything lower and you're stuck at Detecting Devices or an empty screen instead of progressing to ReactOS Setup Wizardĭebug screen seems to be a few MB off: reporting 109MB (instead of 111 or 112) on a 112MB system. On even lower amounts you might see issues reported by FreeLoader and driver loading On 36MB system memory it will choke on caching/copying NTOSKRNL.EXE (which is 8MB filesize or so?). * Startup drivers: Lots of PCI.SYS entries listed before any other drivers being mentioned once.ĪCPI Uni-processor HAL (not sure if this is used when booting USETUP, but no differences for phase 1 at least) : Lots of PCI bus devices/entries and PCI bridge devices/entries though. Initial shutdown message box is real ugly ("reactos is shutting down") * Shutdown results in AT/XT-like 'it's safe to turn off your machine now' instead of ATX-like behaviour. Not seeing Add New Hardware dialog for soundcard (and whichever the other device was) anymore though. * Phase 3 boots OK, requires 60MB at least (or empty desktop). ![]() ![]() Gecko downloaded externally, even though it should be present on the ISO? Not tried VMware Install, as I doubt it was adjusted for the changed ISO layout of VMware Tools Rebooting again, I see PCI.SYS being loaded about 20 times. Oddly enough I get stuck on the 'Gecko not found' screen and a single system freeze I can't reproduce. Any lower amount and you're stuck at Detecting Devices instead of progressing to ReactOS Setup Wizard. Debug screen correctly reports 71MB (XMS) found. On 36MB it will choke on caching/copying NTOSKRNL.EXE. Non-ACPI Uni-processor HAL (VMware workstation 7.1 圆4 on Windows 7 Ultimate 圆4, 32bit single-processor virtual machine) : Odd enough, searching Bugzilla for the keyword 'ACPI' didn't come up with much at all. I'd also like to suggest setting the DEBUG entry of FreeLoader to default so people see the amount of memory that's recognised (usually X-1, thus all extended memory listed instead of all memory) and which drivers are loaded.Īnd default video settings offered in the USETUP list set to 1024x768x32bit ( 60Hz ? ), especially for detected emulators. Before filing some bugs, I'd like to see if other people are experiencing the same issues as I've found in testing revision 53399 (72MB download, thus Cmake?) which contains an (optional but default) ACPI hardware abstraction layer. ![]()
