  1. That seems to have done the trick, the keys are now disappearing when 360Chrome is closed. How strange that they should have been stuck there before.
  2. I'm not seeing that behaviour at all I'm afraid. This is what I see in the registry when the machine first boots, without ever having run 360Chrome. Starting it and stopping 360Chrome makes no difference, the registry entries stay exactly the same.
  3. Ah, I did wonder why it wasn't in the place stated, I didn't realise it was different on your version, but that makes sense now! I'm sure that 360Chrome was closed when I changed the system theme font setting, but I can try again (tomorrow now!) That registry setting does not disappear for me when 360Chrome is closed. Is it just the font family setting which should disappear, or others as well?
  4. I can confirm that. The flags now work, but all the emojis are faint and indistinct. That is really noticeable on the Instagram comments, where they are much smaller, some now are barely readable. I tried changing the system 'Palette Title' from MS Sans Serif to Tahoma, but the registry entry for 360Chrome did not change.
  5. If I change that registry value to anything else, it always reverts to 'MS Sans Serif' when I restart the browser. I think it is just the system font, and I can't see any way in the browser settings to change the font used by the browser UI, only the size of it.
  6. I do have the 'MICROSS.TTF' file after all, I just hadn't identified it as being that font. It can't be replaced because it's protected. I'll try substituting the file with @Humming Owl's modified version when I'm booted into Windows 98, renaming it with the original name, to see if that makes any difference. There is a copy in the System32 folder as well as the fonts folder, should I replace both of them or will 360Chrome only use the one in the fonts folder anyway?
  7. Yes, that explains it, as my system theme font setting is 'MS Sans Serif'. Strangely, I can't find 'MS Sans Serif' specifically mentioned as an installed font. There is 'MS Reference Sans Serif' (REFSAN.TTF), is that it?
  8. Got it thanks, so if I just install that, without changing the file name, it will replace the system 'MS Sans Serif' font? That font is used in lots of places IIRC, so I will certainly make sure that the original is backed up so I can restore it if necessary! I'll let you know how it goes.
  9. Yes, ArcticFoxie's non-unGoogled version.
  10. My 'FontFamily' registry value says 'MS Sans Serif'. Is that why changing the SimSun font isn't apparently doing anything?
  11. Well I've tried replacing the default SimSun font with both of the offered patched versions, and I can't see any difference at all in 360Chrome. There are still just vertical lines where the emojis should be in the tab labels. Perhaps it isn't quite a simple as that!
  12. Thanks, I never noticed that! No problem, I see from the above that this could indeed apply to the title bar now I know that it's possible to have it!
  13. I'm sure you're right, but it would still be good to know exactly what's being talked about!
  14. That's a shame, as I've always found it very convenient to just click the tray icon if I want to examine the console output, and then just click the icon again to hide it. I seem to remember that I could do that with ProxHTTPSProxy's tray icon when I had it installed before, but that may well have been because I was using a utility called 'TrayIt!' to put the icon into the system tray in the first place. It's so long ago now that I can't remember exactly how I did it!
  15. I'm a bit confused here (not for the first time!) Are we actually talking about having emojis in the 360Chrome title bar? I didn't think 360Chrome had one! Do we actually mean the address bar (in URLs), or perhaps on the tab labels?
  16. Looks great! As #11 and #12 are enabling or disabling the same thing, I'm wondering if maybe that would be clearer if they were just labelled 'system-wide proxy on' and 'system-wide proxy off' or something like that? Also, does clicking the system tray icon toggle the console on and off as it does on HTTPSProxy? Thanks very much for this, it will make a huge difference.
  17. The number of emojis has massively grown in that three years probably! I must say I was a bit surprised that when you open it, it just shows the usual text symbol table. I was expecting it to show a huge table of emojis!
  18. When I sorted out the folder and then tried to install the font it said it was already installed for me too, so I guess it happened automatically when I copied the file to the folder. It was still good to have the full functionality of the folder back though! Here you go. seguiemj.ttf
  19. I just did this, and I now have emojis in Instagram comments on 360Chrome 13.5, which were all just rectangles before! They're only black and while, but that's a great improvement. I had the same problem with the Fonts folder, and doing a repair with TweakUI made no difference. What did fix it was adding the system attribute to the folder, which must have got lost somehow back in the mists of time. My seguiemj.ttf file is dated 07/12/19. It came from a Windows 10 21H2 ISO.
  20. Yes, I realise that now! I misinterpreted what you said in the PS of your post earlier where you said "I disabled the AU Service". The service starts anyway even if set to 'manual' so it might as well be left on 'automatic', as you say.
  21. I've now discovered that if I disable the Automatic Updates service, I get this on every boot in the Event Log. I guess you just can't win! I'll re-enable it again.
  22. Thanks @AstroSkipper. That all makes perfect sense, and as you say if AU can't be made to work properly, it might as well just be disabled. It's not like it's ever going to find anything now! Cheers for the great help as always, and sorry for the delay in responding. Dave.
  23. OK, no problem with either issue as far as I'm concerned, they don't affect the usability of the browser at all. I guess the first tab may not be trying to connect to anything at all, I've looked quite a few times and while the browser always seems to have a connection or two going, there is no consistency in fact as to what addresses it's accessing. It could just be that the loading of the first tab can't complete for some other reason. As for the Chinese button, interesting that the Russians didn't translate that either, I guess as you say its label is a bit buried somewhere! It's the only bit of Chinese I've spotted in the GUI, so you've done a pretty thorough job everywhere else!
