Unless I'm mistaken, they will always be in black and white on XP.

Evaporating polymer plasticizers. Or so that's what I've pretty much always thought the "smell" was attributed to. It's also the cause of the hazy film on the interior windshield that looks like a smoker's car but is actually a non-smoker's car and all "plastic" cars do that as they age.

I think most of us here tend to forget, we (the MSFN member) have almost ZERO in common with the "average computer user". To the "average computer user", upgrading from XP to 7 to 10 to 11 is like buying a brand new car every three years. The "average computer user" LOVES the new-car smell, the new bells and whistles. The "average computer user" will take the 'financial hit' of that "new car" every three years and walk in pride, "look at me and my shiny new ride". Or something like that...

There is no "modification fix" to v11 to resolve rem/em fonts. These will always occur with Chromium v69 browsers. This "bug" dates back to 2013 (circa version 24 through 31) and was never fixed until v79 (after originally being scheduled for v77 (I've read some unverified reports that some users of v81 still have this rem/em font-size issue). I fix these using Proxomitron, they can just as easily be fixed via Tampermonkey. Another fix is Stylus. Or just fix them "when encountered" by using the "Inspect" console and unchecking the problematic font-family or font-size.

I'm showing 14-seconds in NM28. Much better. And 8-seconds in 360Chrome v11 after I installed a temporary emoji font. So yeah, that page only loads terribly slow on a setup without emojis (because the emoji table is created using "data" embeds).
-
Haven't tried it in a Mozilla browser - but I suspect that it is the "included" emoji font. Everybody is different, I'll take a 5-second page load with "squares" over a 45-second sit-and-wait for a bunch of "stickers"
-
I guess that's my Proxomitron background. Proxomitron began as a means to take a web page like that (which took 44 seconds to fully load!) and block "crap" and get the page to load in under 5 seconds instead. But "back in the day", it wasn't emojis that slowed page load to a crawl, it was "banners and ads and popups". Some people like "cute and cuddly" 'stickers' plastered all over their web page - some do not
-
Um, seriously?!
-
Fair enough. Saying "non-standard" is a bad choice of words. I still have zero desire to "enable" my screen to look like a 4yr old plastered the screen with a bunch of "stickers". <pukeface>
-
I don't use either of these "apps" but this sounds like something that should be "fixed" via Stylus/Stylem as opposed to "non-standard" OS fonts. edit - To clarify, I have some finance sites that use "non-standard" fonts in the web site's toolbar menu. More aptly they should be called "glyphs" as opposed to a "font" (but the idea is identical to that of an "emoji"). I use Stylus to change the font name that way I don't need to install the (childish, IMO) "glyphs" font (and I don't need to 'enable' a ssl finance site to connect to a third-party non-ssl just for a couple of "glyphs").

I am 1,234,567% positive that "Palette Title" affected my 360Chrome registry setting in XP x86 the other day but I cannot repeat that today. I changed it from Tahoma to Arial then back again the other day but it's locked at Tahoma today and won't change with any system setting.
-
Note that there is a "MS Shell Dlg" and a "MS Shell Dlg 2".
-
I don't think it is that one because my 360Chrome font says Tahoma and that registry key says Microsoft Sans Serif (not MS Sans Serif, but Microsoft Sans Serif - if there's a difference). Also, the registry key would have to say Segoe UI on a Win10 system, from the limited digging I've done. Seems a "patched" system font is probably the easiest route - replace your "MS Sans Serif" with <cough, cough></end sarcasm> an emoji font.
-
Hmm. Palette Title changes it on my XP x64 but not on my XP x86. I admit that I don't quite follow the infatuation with this (zero interest in emoji fonts, a "Mozilla-ism" to the best I can surmise, I prefer to see a "square" for the missing font), but I'll still see what I can do to help. What fonts do you have listed for the following? HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\International\Scripts\19 -->> IEFixedFontName and IEPropFontName (ignore this one, just noticed that it's an IE setting) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes -->> MS Shell Dlg 2

Cool! Ignore previous post. We criss-crossed.

Please delete both the "360" and the "360chrome" keys while 360Chrome is closed (verify via Task Manager that 360Chrome is indeed closed). Highlight "Software" then close regedit. Reopen regedit and verify that "360" anc "360chrome" are both deleted. Close regedit, launch 360Chrome, open regedit, observe keys under "Software" but do not highlight any of them, keep "Software" highligted, close regedit, close 360Chrome, reopen regedit, observe keys under "Software".

dmadmin.exe is the "Logical Disk Manager Administrative Service" and this should have a startup type of "manual" and doesn't run under normal usage, it should only be running when configuring a drive or partition or when a new drive is detected. If this is running "all the time", I would suspect this to be your issue. Could also be a side effect to "Windows File Protection" but I think we can rule it out because you don't have sfc.exe running.
-
Make sure that you close regedit and reopen it when verifying if a registry folder/key disappears or not. I think you have to close regedit without the key/folder being the current selection, but I'm not positive on that.

Only if you use Humming Owl releases should you have a 360Chrome registry key when 360Chrome is not running. I think the v13.5 branch has a second key also, but it should still only exist when 360Chrome is running and it should delete itself when you close 360Chrome.
-
This is my registry when 360Chrome is NOT running - no 360chrome folder/key
-
If you run any Humming Owl releases, the registry entries do not disappear. If you run only my releases, the registry entries disappear. This is my registry with my 360Chrome running -
-
For my releases, that registry setting is here -- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\360chrome\default\ui_persist_value I do not know what happens when you ALSO run Humming Owl releases because then the two registries can interfere with each other. And the registry entry only exists when 360Chrome is OPEN, it should self-delete when 360Chrome is not running.
-
Mine does. 360Chrome has to be CLOSED when making the system change.

This to me sounds like a positive. Some peoples "features" are another persons "bloatware".
