  1. Dixel, don't waste your time, the member doesn't appreciate our help, despite we explained everything in details, it seems to me he's not being serious, and having fun. I've examined the player package, no ported DX11 there, of course.

  2. Yes, I remember all those bla-bla-bla talks for twenty years, promises to port DirectX 10 to XP. it never happened, of course,and Direct X11 is simply much harder.

  3. Besides, you need a DX11 Feauture_LEVEL_11_0 (as the minimum) video card for the player to work, and, of course, somewhat recent drivers, that are obviously out of the question for XP.

  4. If someone ever successfully ported DirectX 11 to XP, it'd be the local news number no. 1, To this date, it didn't happen. So no "maybe". If you still insist, give some links.

  5. :OT A magnifying glass can be interpreted as an important instrument of a famous person who is permanently looking for tracks and hints. Everyone knows him: The magnifying glass has been directly linked to the search function in Windows since the early days of this operating system. Everything, for example, is a very fast desktop search and my favourite tool for finding strings within directories and files very quickly And what is the standard icon for this tool? For me, the magnifying glass and the search are interwoven like a pot and a lid. :END OF OT

  6. GreaseMonkey for Pale Moon 3.31.4 should be better suited for UXP browsers. https://github.com/janekptacijarabaci/greasemonkey/releases/tag/3.31.4Fork

  7. You will need to install a userscript manager. i.e., Greasemonkey, from Classic Add-ons Archive add-on. (There's a newer version, thanks @UCyborg) Go to Greasemonkey's menu (at the top right of the browser, the down arrow next to Greasemonkey's icon), and select New User Script, then put a name for the userscript (for example, name the userscript that @rereser provided as "Discourse forums breakage fix" or any other name you like), and in the Namespace, put anything you like, your name if you want. Click OK, then a new dialog will appear. Copy-paste the code from @VistaLover's reply to me, then save it. For the script to work, make sure that Greasemonkey is enabled (that there's a check mark behind the word Enabled) You also can't edit your posts in a locked topic either.

  11. Hello @Monroe! Which extension do you mean? My fork Check My IP Address & Location 1.3? This extension works perfectly for me even when connected via VPN. This was also tested by @VistaLover. So, there must be something wrong in your settings. Please, check what's going in your system! Try also another VPN service!

  12. I tested MPC-HC 2.1.2.18 more deeply. Under my hardware conditions, the jetaudio video decoder does not do anything better than the LAV filters. Generally, I like this player but the best of all for Windows XP is still the PotPlayer which is able to play subtitles and lists all available YouTube streams while playing a video so that the user can select their favourite one easily.

  13. Generally, SMPlayer is working under Windows XP. But the provided MPlayer version which comes with the installation package does not work correctly when you fast-forward or rewind YouTube videos or jump to a specific point. You have to replace the MPlayer version and to adjust some settings to watch videos so that picture and sound are always synchronised. I have been using SMPlayer for some time but I tested this player only with YouTube streams. The good is the files youtube-dl.exe and yt-dlp.exe inside the installation folder can be updated by the great releases from @nicolaasjan.

  16. FYI, I created a new, special version of uBlock Origin, especially with regard to @roytam1's browser editions, the Pale Moon and the Basilisk browser. More about that can be read in this post where I provide a download link for this new version called uBlock Origin 1.16.4.31. Cheers, AstroSkipper

  18. uBlock Origin Legacy - A special mod by AstroSkipper As I already wrote in my article uBlock Origin 1.16.4.31b2-1.54.0 - Special mod by @AstroSkipper, uBlock Origin is presumably one of the most important extensions if not the most important one for users of Firefox and Chrome based browsers. Unfortunately, this extension is now only developed and maintained as a webextension. The extension uBlock Origin for our old Firefox-based browsers like Pale Moon, New Moon, Basilisk, Serpent and so on was only maintained and updated separately for a certain period of time. There have been no new updates since version 1.16.4.30, officially released by gorhill in 2021. I am maintaining here the last beta version 1.16.4.31b2 from April 2022, which unfortunately has not been further developed since then. Source: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock-for-firefox-legacy/pull/330#issue-1206437114. Credits to JustOff and hawkeye116477. This beta worked great in the past , and I therefore think the time has come to end its beta state. I made a couple of changes to this version and created the final release uBlock Origin 1.16.4.31. I have fixed issues, added filter lists, changed and added some compatibility strings, updated all filter lists and so on. Furthermore, I solved the annoyance with the timestamp of some filter lists. Now, the timestamps are shown correctly. And it is very important to mention once again at this point that due to compatibility reasons, I removed the self-update function of the internal list of the default filter lists which are directly available after installation of uBlock Origin. This internal list is no longer maintained or updated by the developers and is unfortunately obsolete. If this outdated list is loaded by uBlock Origin as a supposed update, you are back to the status of that time, and all new filter list implementations would then have disappeared again. Here is a screenshot taken from the dashboard tab "Filter lists" of uBlock Origin 1.16.4.31: As you can see, all filter lists are loaded correctly. The filter lists outlined in green are the ones I have added or corrected. And here are further screenshots for documentation purpose of some changes: Only the variable %timestamp% instead of the real timestamp was shown in some filter lists. Now, the real timestamp is back. I added release information to the About page. When clicking onto the item "Information", this article here is automatically called up. Changelog from uBlock Origin Legacy version 1.16.4.31b2 to 1.16.4.31: Auto-update of the internal list of all preselected filter lists removed to prevent updating of this internal list by uBlock Origin itself.. The internal list of all preselected filter lists modified to get the real timestamps of filter lists again. The loading issue of the filter list "Online Malicious URL Blocklist" fixed. Filter list "filters-2023.txt" added. New filter list "filters-2024.txt" added. Filter list "uBlock filters – Quick fixes" added, requested by @nicolaasjan. Filter list "EasyList (Optimized)" added, recommended by @VistaLover. Filter list "EasyPrivacy (Optimized)" added, recommended by @VistaLover. All filter lists inside the xpi file updated. For Pale Moon and New Moon, minVersion in install.rdf lowered from 28.0 to 27.0. Thanks to @roytam1. For Pale Moon and New Moon, maxVersion increased from 29.0 to 32.*. Thanks to @Ascii2. Compatibility strings for BNavigator added to the install.rdf file. Thanks to @Ascii2. The updateURL inside the install.rdf file removed as it has no function anymore. Contributors added to the install.rdf file. Old backup files removed from the xpi file. Version number changed to 1.16.4.31. End of beta state. Now, it is a final version. Release information added to the About page. 28-01-2024: I have updated my special mod uBlock Origin from version 1.16.4.31 to version 1.16.4.32. I have made many changes in different areas. Among other things, I took a close look at all language-specific filter lists and replaced or added some of them. Additionally, I added to these lists their flags that are known from the webextension. Furthermore, I have removed abandoned filter lists and, if possible, replaced them with others. In particular, I implemented a brand new, rather unknown, filter list called "Dandelion Sprout’s Anti-Malware List". It has a good resonance and worked great for me. Since my previous release was unintentionally updated to the latest for this browser current webextension in Serpent 55, I have made my special mod by changing the ID so unique that this no longer happens. And so that my mod of the legacy extension is not confused with the official webextension, I changed the name from "uBlock Origin" to "uBlock Origin Legacy". Please note that starting with the version uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.32, my mod has a completely new ID and a clean install is therefore mandatory. More details about a clean install can be found further below. Here are some screenshots taken from uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.32 in the currently most recent version of New Moon 28: As you can see, all filter lists are loaded correctly. The filter lists outlined in green are the ones I have added or replaced. These are the revised country-specific filter lists with their corresponding flags. I transferred all flags from the uBlock Origin webextension. The About page correctly shows the new name, version and provides a link to its website for information. And now, after revising the way of name change, even the popup correctly shows the new name uBlock Origin Legacy. Changelog from uBlock Origin Legacy version 1.16.4.31 to 1.16.4.32: Language-specific filter list "Adblock List for Albania" added. Language-specific filter list "EasyList Dutch" replaced by the filter list "EasyDutch", requested by @nicolaasjan. Url of the language-specific filter list "Adblock List for Finland" changed. Language-specific filter list "EasyList Liste FR" replaced by the filter list "AdGuard Français". Language-specific filter list "Dandelion Sprout's Serbo-Croatian filters" added. Language-specific filter list "IndianList" added. Language-specific filter list "Adblock-Iran" replaced by the filter list "PersianBlocker". Language-specific filter list "ITA: ABP X Files" removed as it doesn't exist anymore. Language-specific filter list "KOR: YousList" replaced by the filter list "List-KR". Url of the language-specific filter list "Latvian List" changed to get a more recent list. Language-specific filter list "Macedonian adBlock Filters" added. Url of the language-specific filter list "RU AdList" changed. Flags added to all language-specific filter lists. Filter list "Online Malicious URL Blocklist" replaced by "Online Malicious URL Blocklist (AdGuard)", requested by @nicolaasjan. Filter list "Spam404" removed as it doesn't seem to be updated anymore on a regular base (last updated: 18-10-2023). See also here: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/1766 Filter list "MVPS HOSTS" removed as it is obsolete (last updated: 06-03-2021). See also here: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/2032 Filter list "Phishing URL Blocklist" added to the group "Malware domains", requested by @Amigafever. New filter list "Dandelion Sprout's Anti-Malware List" added to the group "Malware domains". All filter lists inside the xpi file updated again. For Pale Moon and New Moon, maxVersion increased from 32.0 to 33.*, tested and confirmed by @Amigafever. Extension's name changed to uBlock Origin Legacy to prevent any confusions with the webextension of uBO. Extension's ID changed to prevent updating this extension by some browsers (for example Serpent 55). Version number changed to 1.16.4.32. 23.02.2024: I have again updated my special mod uBlock Origin Legacy from version 1.16.4.32 to version 1.16.4.33. I fixed the loading errors of the filter list "Online Malicious URL Blocklist (AdGuard)" which only occur from time to time. Furthermore, I found some further strings which I edited according to the extension's name change performed in version 1.16.4.32. And I added new filter lists to different groups. The "StevenBlack/hosts" filter lists are very strong and restrictive. So in some cases, you have to set exclusions when using them. Here is a screenshot taken from the dashboard tab "Filter lists" of uBlock Origin 1.16.4.33 in New Moon 28: The filter lists outlined in green are the ones I have added in this release. Changelog from uBlock Origin Legacy version 1.16.4.32 to 1.16.4.33: Sporadic loading errors of the filter list "Online Malicious URL Blocklist (AdGuard)" fixed. Further minor code editing of strings regarding the extension's name change performed in version 1.16.4.32. New filter list "StevenBlack/hosts" added to the group "Multipurpose". New filter list "StevenBlack/hosts extension social" added to the group "Multipurpose". New filter list "Scam Blocklist by DurableNapkin" added to the group "Malware domains". Language-specific filter list "AdGuard German Specific" added. A minor spelling mistake on the About page corrected. All filter lists inside the xpi file updated again. 12.04.2024: I have again updated my special mod uBlock Origin Legacy from version 1.16.4.33 to version 1.16.4.34. Starting with this version, installing over an existing installation of uBlock Origin Legacy (1.16.4.34 and higher) is completely working again. The immediate loading of the updated, internal list of all preselected filter lists (assets.json) can be triggered by the function "Purge all caches" or "Update now". Then reload the dashboard page! From now on, the user will get the internal list of all preselected filter lists (assets.json) automatically. And I added new filter lists to different groups. More details can be found in the changelog further below. Here is a screenshot taken from the dashboard tab "Filter lists" of uBlock Origin 1.16.4.34 in New Moon 28: The filter lists outlined in green are the ones I have added in this release. Changelog from version 1.16.4.33 to version 1.16.4.34: Auto-update of my internal list of all preselected filter lists (assets.json) newly established. Updating the extension by installing the xpi file over an existing installation of uBlock Origin Legacy (1.16.4.34 and higher) fixed. Sporadic loading errors of the filter list "Online Malicious URL Blocklist (AdGuard)" fixed again (hopefully for the last time). Further, alternative links for the filter list "Online Malicious URL Blocklist (AdGuard)" added. New filter list "Bypass Paywalls Clean filter" added to the group "Annoyances". New filter list "GoodbyeAds-YouTube-AdBlock-Filter" added to the group "Ads". All filter lists inside the xpi file updated again. The update to version 1.16.4.34 should be done as already described, but this time for the very last time. The easiest way is the alternative method: Backup all your settings using the "Back up to file" button on the page "Settings". Install the new version of uBlock Origin Legacy over the existing one. Reset your installation using the "Reset to default settings" button on the page "Settings". Restore all settings from your backup file. 16.04.2024: I have again updated my special mod uBlock Origin Legacy from version 1.16.4.34 to version 1.16.4.35. As already described, you can install this version over an existing installation of uBlock Origin Legacy (1.16.4.34 and higher). The immediate loading of the updated, internal list of all preselected filter lists (assets.json) can be triggered by the function "Purge all caches" and "Update now". Then reload the dashboard page! I changed the link of an important filter list to get the most recent version. More details can be found in the changelog. Changelog from version 1.16.4.34 to version 1.16.4.35: Download link for the filter list "Bypass Paywalls Clean filter" changed to get finally again the most recent version of it. All filter lists inside the xpi file updated again. Download link for uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.35: https://www.mediafire.com/file/dfdu6uq0aaua2ty/uBlock-Origin-Legacy-1.16.4.35-special-mod-by-%40AstroSkipper.xpi/file From now on, I won't merge legacy extension and webextension any longer in terms of uBlock Origin. The webextensions of uBlock Origin are moving further and further away from the code base of the legacy extensions. Too much incompatibilities. Starting with the release uBlock Origin 1.16.4.31, I will use the uBlock Origin 1.16.4.31b2 version as a guide for further releases. As the auto-update function for the internal list of all preselected filter lists has already been removed by me for compatibility reasons, I will maintain particularly this list myself, only if necessary, and add compatible and important filter lists or remove abandoned ones. Furthermore, I will implement some little features or filter lists from the webextension of uBlock Origin, only if they are still compatible with the legacy extension, of course. Version history: uBlock Origin 1.16.4.31 (21-01-2024) First public release. Download link: https://www.mediafire.com/file/07gtyu069y0c4dq/uBlock0_1.16.4.31-special-mod-by-%40AstroSkipper.xpi/file uBlock Origin Legacy 1.16.4.32 (28-01-2024) Second public release.

Finally, an important recommendation to get the new installation of uBlock Origin Legacy working properly and flawlessly. Do not update your existing installation of uBlock Origin by installing on top if you have installed version 1.16.4.33 or lower! This will not work correctly. After uninstalling the previous version (yes, the old version has to be uninstalled ), delete all remnants via about:config and in your profile folder! The remnants of previous versions of uBlock Origin can either be easily removed by the extension eCleaner or of course manually. And in your profile folder, there is a file in the subfolder extension-data called ublock0.sqlite which has to be removed manually in any case. Delete the browser cache, too! If doing so, the updating of the filter lists will work like a charm after installing the new version. All users who have important, individual settings or rules should backup them before uninstalling the extension and cleaning their profile folder. On the dashboard page, there is an item called "Back up to file"" to save all user's settings via uBlock itself. If you only want to backup your custom filters, custom rules or trusted sites, go to the tabs "My filters", "My rules" or "Trusted sites" and export them respectively to a file! And if someone likes it even simpler,, here is the shortest way to update the installation of uBlock Origin Legacy properly: Backup all your settings using the "Back up to file" button on the page "Settings". Uninstall uBlock Origin Legacy and delete the ublock0.sqlite file in your profile subfolder extension-data. Restart the browser and install the new version of uBlock Origin Legacy. Restore all settings from your backup file. Furthermore, I found an alternative way to update uBlock Origin Legacy when the user still decides to install over an existing installation: Backup all your settings using the "Back up to file" button on the page "Settings". Install the new version of uBlock Origin Legacy over the existing one. Reset your installation using the "Reset to default settings" button on the page "Settings". Restore all settings from your backup file. This alternative method can only be used for updates with the same extension ID, i.e. from version 1.16.4.32 and higher or from version 1.16.4.31 and lower. The reason for this is the change of the extension ID in version 1.16.4.32 I have performed. From version 1.16.4.34 and higher and only in this version range, installing over an already existing installation is possible again. See further above! But one thing is clear. A clean install is the best method that causes the fewest problems. In any case, we have from now on another uBlock Origin extension for our beloved legacy browsers with the most recent filter lists. Please, test this special version and report here! Any feedback is of course welcome, too! Greetings from Germany, AstroSkipper

  19. As far as the https://video.genyt.xyz/QCvGNDzNJQ4 page is concerned, I cannot confirm your observation. The buttons for downloading various video formats are displayed correctly in the latest version of Serpent 52: In the most recent version of New Moon 28, it is working, too. I guess something in your settings is blocking the provision of these buttons. Cheers, AstroSkipper

  21. Oh, I forgot about this one, but the other one I had in mind was focused specifically on DXVA and was a bit verbose about it. This is what GPU-Z shows here on XP x64: So I'd just have to wait about half-year and I'd have that. Oh well, I couldn't wait to play Wolfenstein: The New Order back then.

  22. Do note that any code that runs continuously without pause on the CPU core will make the utilization on it show as 100%. The question is if the algorithm can be improved to complete sooner. The problem with single-core CPUs (which AstroSkipper uses as far as I'm aware) is that you effectively can't properly multitask on them, you can't give it work and do something else in the meantime. If you do, it will be interrupted for a short while to try to do your thing then get back to the other thing, but your thing will suffer immensely. Maybe less if you do something in the other program and give it a higher priority.

  23. WhoTracks.me does not appear that heavy by itself, but the script putting links in the bubble takes a long time, 20 to 30 seconds for Google Tag Manager here, depending on the browser. The script is not large, but its logic takes time. You know, I can't help but wonder, if I buy a computer for 4000€, how much would it reduce the time it takes.

  24. For better or worse, the magnifying glass and funnel have become de facto standard icons for "Search" and "Filter/Select," respectively, both on Web sites and standalone software. I always found the magnifying glass a bit puzzling. When I search for something, I certainly don't use a magnifying glass! I think this came from an old Windows animation that showed a magnifying glass being moved around when Windows was searching for a file, but that animation never made much sense to me either. Methinks a magnifying glass would be a better icon for "Details" or "Enlarge" than for "Search." To me, a flashlight/torch would've made more sense as a "Search" icon. (There's even a different old Windows search animation that shows a flashlight being moved back and forth.) But, I understand it's hard to come up with a good icon. The funnel makes more sense to me than the magnifying glass, although to be nitpicky, a filter is placed in a funnel - it's not the funnel itself! Still, I can at least understand the connection. My biggest problem with the funnel icon was that it wasn't immediately obvious what the icon is! It looked to me more like an upper-case Y! It took me some time to realize that it was intended to be a funnel.

  25. From the discussion @VistaLover linked to above: It puzzled me too. It sounds to me like the CSS was written to work even if aspect-ratio: 1 isn't supported; yet the browser compatibility testing script (at least they did it with feature detection vs. UA sniffing) insists on such support anyway. Sounds to me like the CSS and JS developers weren't communicating with each other. At a minimum, the script should provide the "modern" Web site if that's the only feature the browser lacks, perhaps with a "We'll stop supporting this browser soon" banner (with a clickable X to remove it) if there are plans to "upgrade" the CSS to require that support in the future.

  26. ... That script (the actual JS code in it) first surfaced one year ago, in the PMForums: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?p=235705#p235705 by member @adoxa ; I have no way to tell whether both (different forum) usernames belong to the same person ; it was MSFN I originally copied it from, but later traced its origin to the "upstream" forum... And a word from Discourse admins regarding them blocking UXP-based browsers (and how, down the line, the userscript circumvents that block): https://meta.discourse.org/t/browser-detection-script-only-malfunctioning-on-pale-moon-32-x/273848

  28. I bought a new car with the money made at work, though that purchase was mostly out of necessity to get by in day-to-day life. I doubt I'll replace the computer soon, I'm a bit tired of computers (using it at work), gaming doesn't feel the way it used to anymore and I love being lazy in free time more than ever. I'm dead after work and weekends are too short. Gaming would maybe be the only reason to replace the old computer, but I have too much old games and I'm not sure there's anything new out there for me anyway.

  29. Yes, might have confused space with line break due to how Resource Hacker displays it... No. It shouldn't matter for newer systems either, it's just a convention since newer systems will pick the highest available entry, so you can order it that way to visually indicate what entry has higher priority. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compatibility/application-executable-manifest I haven't found the documentation whether 8.1 and 10 entries change anything in practice

  33. Please, to avoid issues with "upstream" developer(s), always refer to the browser as Serpent 52; as already verified by another member, I, too, have no problem at all "fullscreen-ing" video content from banbye in my St52 copy: As you can expect, I do not have an account with banbye, so can't check whether what you report is specific to logged-in users of that video portal ... In general, site/player preferences are being stored inside browser and/or HTML5 cookies; I'd start by fully wiping out ALL banbye set cookies, clear the browser cache and restart browser - often times, a user setting (e.g. inside a content blocker like uBO, uMatrix, etc.) will block a site from writing/modifying needed cookies and thus site functionality will be impaired... I'd suggest to you to try the banbye site (its new iteration) in a fresh St52 profile and draw conclusions from then on ...

  35. Resources by other people: @i430VX's Browser Installer:

  36. ... That post is quite old by now ; the UXP-based browsers now are fully equipped with all the necessary plumbing (JS features) to fully support discoursed-based forums (their "full" version, not the "dumbed-down" one targeting unsupported browsers); however, their browser-detection scripts fail to recognise UXP-based browsers as "supported", so those sites offer to them that "simplified" version ... Some weeks ago, I had answered that same question posed by j7n but he didn't opt to apply my suggested solution, because it involves an adblocker extension (uBlock Origin legacy) and he did not want to install it himself, because a) he had already other arrangements in place to thwart ads b) he feared that installing that adblocker would, somehow, compromise the quality/speed of his browsing... Here at MSFN we are a democratic community, so I respect his reservations ; this doesn't mean others are discouraged from acting differently ... If one has already installed uBO, a custom filter can be added to block the script discourse-based forums serve to sniff browsers: ! Discourse-based forums ||*/assets/browser-detect-$script,important That should be added in the "My Filters" tab... OTOH, if you have a userscript manager installed (usually their names end in "*monkey" ), you can add a custom userscript like the one below: // ==UserScript== // @name CSS aspect-ratio [88] - Discourse Forums // @version 0.0.1 // @match *://*/* // @run-at document-start // @grant none // ==/UserScript== !function() { let CSS_supports = CSS.supports; CSS.supports = function(a) { return a === "aspect-ratio: 1" || CSS_supports(a); } }() This userscript doesn't block the browser-detecting script, it simply tells it that the feature it's looking for exists in the browser (it doesn't, as of now, in reality, but it isn't needed either for properly displaying those sites) ... So, @adata, you're being offered two current solutions for properly displaying and using ALL the discourse-based forums (not just the three you referenced in your post ) ... Best regards ! EDIT: If you're NOT running a recent version of Serpent 52, please DO update, preferably to this weekend's release!

  38. Just so you know, for the future, DirectX11 for video is only Win8 and up, but I won't go into details since it's obviously off-topic here!

  39. Of course it's "less resources" for you simply because Windows XP doesn't support DirectX11, it never did, run DxDiag to see, hence less depth and the weird brightness, there's simply no acceleration when you choose DX11 on XP.

  40. When I am later at my desktop computer, I will provide the version, which is stiil working, including suitable settings. @dmiranda At the moment, I have replaced the version MPlayer Redxii-SVN-r37871-4.9.3 (i686), which comes with the installation package of SMPlayer 23.12.0, by the version MPlayer Redxii-SVN-r37940-6.2.0 (i686), you see a bit more recent one. This version works great with relative seeking selected and precise unselected. Another version is MPlayer Redxii-SVN-r37802-4.9.3 (i686) which even works with absolute and/or precise seeking selected. Versions higher than 37802 do not work with absolute seeking. And I have unselected the options "Remember time position" with "Remember for streams". I should still mention that version 37940 is the last XP-compatible one. Cheers, AstroSkipper

  47. note : the above script works with sites that use discource forum software. it "tells" those sites that the browser has support for it. support for css aspect-ratio can be enabled with the "Experimental Web Platform features" chrome flag. somehow the discource sites don't see the support enabled by the chrome flag. test : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/aspect-ratio

  48. Hello @we3fan! Thanks for your suggestion! I know this tool and some others to minimize programmes to the systray. One of them is Min2Tray. If someone of you uses my package ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu TLS 1.3 3V3, then the tool Min2Tray v1.7.9 will already be configured and installed when setting up the proxy. In that case, no further Minimize To Tray tool is necessary, though. Anyway! Thanks again for pointing to RBTray 4.3! Cheers, AstroSkipper
