NotHereToPlayGames Posted January 11, 2022 Author Share Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) I've tried those also. Only one that "seems" to make a difference is the Accelerated 2D Canvas. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a "Seven Step Sequence" where I do this, then this, then that, and I can repeat the vanishing fonts every time I do the "Seven Steps". It's only with v11. But still rare enough that v11's pros far outweigh the inconvenience of fonts vanishing every once in a while.

XPerceniol Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) Okay ... I'll just leave those at their defaults then, not sure if enabled or disabled. I agree, I'll put up with it and I'm like ... lol ... my text is gone and I copy it (the blank text) to my clipboard then to notepad and change the color and its there. Maybe that helped you in the process and the text is still there but hidden. I don't care and I just close it and stand up and do something else for a minute - good to stretch the legs every so often. As it stands: Your new version 13 is great and videos play somewhat well, but skips. V13.5 chews up every resource but is much prettier. V12 wasn't good when I last tried it but will give it a whirl tomorrow. DC Browser works but videos stop dead with the circle animation, so that is gone. For me (just personally for my usage and limited juice), V11 plays videos the best so the pros far outweigh the inconvenience; indeed Edited January 11, 2022 by XPerceniol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPerceniol Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I'm used to doing without 2d anyway as in Serpent I use: gfx.direct2d.disabled (true) gfx.direct2d.force-enabled (false) Of course, canvas.poisondata is/was nice but I don't think we can do that in chrome browsers - too bad.

UCyborg Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Direct2D doesn't exist on XP so related prefs shouldn't make a difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rereser Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) no Roboto but found Segoe Ui Bold.ttf. hope that helps , must have installed it sometime ... closed the browser , renamed the ttf to old , started the browser , still bold fonts. and thanks for the new 13.5 build. (only change found is the more visible "optimize memory" icon) question: would Proxomitron or ProxHTTPSProxy help with storing passwords in v13.5 for https sites without a green padlock? and would Proxomitron or ProxHTTPSProxy slow down the browser? have not done any research on how to use.

You noticed that, did you? That was one of my funnest "learns" this go-around - converting a "grayscale" image to what is called a "duotone" image where I basically inverted black/white on the original image while retaining transparent background, defined two shades of blue (pulled from the "broom" icon to the right of the "rocket" icon) as my min/max shades for the image and all shades of "gray" were converted to shades of "blue" within that min/max range of shades. 40 minutes ago, rereser said: would Proxomitron help with storing passwords in v13.5 for https sites without a green padlock? Definitely possible! Especially if the https sites you are referring to uses autocomplete = off html coding. Proxomitron simply edits the off to on and the web browser does the rest. 40 minutes ago, rereser said: would Proxomitron slow down the browser? Theoretically yes, all "traffic" has to bottleneck through Proximitron. But it's been my experience that pages load FASTER using Proxomitron (the page load timer is displayed right in the status bar, so this is not "placebo effect", the pages load FASTER based on that page load timer). 31 minutes ago, XPerceniol said: What do I do? Don't need to do anything. It's a legit font. Not a "default" XP font so one of your other apps installed it. It's more of a Google OS / Android font than a "Windows" font. I do not have this font on my XP install and was surprised to see 360Chrome internal files call for it (but they fallback to arial which then has a fallback to sans-serif). So anything that 360Chrome is trying to display using Roboto, it can't so it falls back to Arial on my systems.

Also some capitalization errors corrected on error codes you shouldn't ever see to begin with. v11 had the biggest changes due to unicode characters used in the Developer Tools status bar that did not use default XP fonts.

NotHereToPlayGames Posted January 12, 2022 Author Share Posted January 12, 2022 Speaking of v11, it will likely get another update in a week or so. There are several "mobile phone" embedded 'features' that are not required on a web browser that none of us are using on a "mobile phone". These were removed by the original creators of 360Chrome in v12 and higher but are still there in v11 (and admittedly never noticed on my end until hunting for possible fixes to vanishing text issues that seem to only exist in v11 [also exist in Humming Owl's v11, in official Chinese v11, in repack Russian v11, and in orginal Chromium v69 that 360Chrome v11 is based from]. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an easy program to learn. But well worth the learning curve once you do learn it. The original author passed away some time ago and the online presence dwindled pretty fast. It's still a must-have on my systems but I have to answer all of my own questions through trial and error. I still use the sidki3003 config from 2011 as my "base". Yes, knowing v11 and v13.5 definitely helps. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
