    @mina7601! And now your hardware specs, only if you want to tell me, of course!

    @mina7601! Is that slow and low-resource enough for you?

    My Windows XP computer is equipped with a Pentium 4 2.8 GHz Northwood single core CPU and only 1.5 GB SD-RAM. No SSD, no SATA but IDE harddisks. My graphic card is a NVIDIA 6200 AGP 4x one if you know what that means. The RAM can't be extended. Only three slots, and there are no 1 GB modules. The computer itself and especially the motherboard was manufactured in 2000. It's survived fires and other events before. I repair everything myself. I love my old machine! PS: And I can't send him into retirement. He has been with me for 22 years, and that would not be fair. The computer was originally delivered with Windows ME, and the partition still exists.

    I corrected my post, Firemin Portable 8.2.3.5338 is Windows XP compatible, too
  5. AstroSkipper
    I didn't give you only a version number, I said Firemin Portable in the version 6.3.1.5105. I already offered to upload this version one week ago, but you didn't reply. This version is not available in the internet and by using the Wayback Machine anymore, either. Anyway, the next time, I'll be running my desktop computer I'll upload this version for you and other users. Cheers, AstroSkipper PS: On Rizonesoft's download site, are always two versions offered, an installer and a portable version of Firemin. @ADMM Rizonesoft's Firemin Portable 6.3.1.5105 is the last version of the series 6 and Windows XP compatible. It is Open Source and a useful tool if you are low on RAM resources, and works with nearly all browsers, AFAIK. The purpose of Firemin is to reduce the RAM usage of the browser, all controlled by this tool in the background. Here is the link of the archive uploaded by me: https://www.mediafire.com/file/34exiyav9zcoxkp/Firemin_5105.zip/file I tested the most recent version Firemin Portable 8.2.3.5338, and although the website stated a compatibility from Windows 7 or higher, it works in Windows XP, too.

    No problem! I like this native hiding feature! Glad to hear you like some of my smileys, too!
  7. AstroSkipper
    But, if you already use this feature, why does the Min2Tray icon bother you then? Hide it! You can access it by clicking the arrow at any time.
  8. AstroSkipper
    BTW, you need it to change the settings of Min2Tray, maintain the Minimized at startup list or the Bosskey list, and modify the short cuts. But you can hide it and access it using WindowsXP's native feature.
  9. AstroSkipper
    What about using Windows XP's native feature to hide inactive or unwanted icons? I described it in my documentation. Especially, because of @Dave-H!
  10. AstroSkipper
    @mina7601! As my beta tester, what do you think about the implementation of Min2Tray in my program package? Do you like it? Does the additional systray icon bother you? Do you use or like the global feature to minimize most of all windows to the systray by right-clicking the close button?

    Hello @thomasxxx! Thanks a lot for posting a new solution! You see very easy to post here. One recommendation for further posting. Use bold text and font size 18 for the headline only due to a better visibility! When someone reads your post, the headline stings you right in the eye and the reader knows immediately what this is about. Just a recommendation, of cource! Anyway, this is a good post, and your English is totally ok.

    A VM is running in a host system requiring real hardware in any case. Therefore, you must have a much more powerful computer than me, otherwise you couldn't run a VM, an OS in an OS. My Windows XP computer is more than 22 years old and can't run a VM. Too low system resources, too slow, and a 32 bit system only. BTW, in your profile, you stated Windows 11 as your main OS. Then, your computer is much more powerful than mine without knowing your exact hardware specs.

    I removed all themes or special styles from all of my used roytam1's browsers long time ago. Very often, these themes caused issues, especially after updating. I only use the standard built-in theme.
  15. AstroSkipper
    I forgot to mention that I am very interested in the opinions and experiences of users which have installed my program package ProxHTTPSProxy's PopMenu TLS 1.3 3V3 in Windows XP on an old computer which is less powerful or even slow, and low on system resources like me. Maybe, with a CPU lacking of SSE2 instructions set, i.e. SSE only. Please, post your observations and impressions! I need this kind of feedback! Cheers, AstroSkipper

    Hello @feodor2! Thanks for your reply! I take this opportunity to thank you for the latest beta version Mypal 68.12.5b. A big step forward in the development. I am thrilled! I already updated some extensions in the past. I did it via the update menu item of the Add-ons Manager without deleting anything before. I wasn't aware about deleting the file addonStartup.json.lz4 first. Why should it be necessary? Anyway, it also works without deleting this file as far as I can see. The extensions I have already updated are working properly. I didn't notice any issues but I'll test and examine this a little more closely the nexr time. As far as I can remember, the manual updating via the update menu item in the Add-ons Manager by selecting its xpi file works as expected. Cheers, AstroSkipper

    Your computer is certainly much more powerful than mine. Same as it is the case of @Dave-H's computer. And, you're absolutely right, the change of Configure PopMenu.exe's window is most noticeable of all.
  18. AstroSkipper
    Alright! To each his own! There are million ways to handle files. I have a download partition, and I don't unpack most of the compressed archives. I open them by double-clicking in the file manager Total Commander and copy needed files or folder to the desired location. That works very well with Zip or 7-Zip archives.
  19. AstroSkipper
    No, quite the opposite! Correct! I have reduced the final size of the windows and centred the text inside for a better focus on them. PS: Thanks for locking the other thread!

    This thread will be closed. Any further comments can be done in my main thread here: Kind regards, AstroSkipper

    No problem! You're right! On a powerful machine, you probably won't notice a difference. My Windows XP computer is slow and low on system resources. Therefore, I noticed the changes very clearly. BTW, I have also changed the appearance of the message windows in terms of their size and better visibility of their contents. Have you at least noticed that?
  22. AstroSkipper
    Yep! I think the thread https://msfn.org/board/topic/183684-looking-for-a-person-with-python-programming-skills-to-implement-tls-13-functionality-in-proxhttpsproxy-rev3e/ can be locked now. @cmalex is a follower of this thread here, too.

    Thanks a lot for your assessment and opinion! I am glad to hear that. Have you noticed a change in the appearance, behaviour or responsiveness of the various programs and their windows?
