NotHereToPlayGames Posted March 17 Posted March 17 (edited) You really do have to COMB THROUGH the CSS differences instead of always always always trying to blame the monitor. Gets Old and shows ignorance!!! These are screencaps which capture pixel colors *BEFORE* the monitor "renders" them! These are not pictures taken with a camera which would show pixel colors *AFTER* the monitor "renders" them. Take two monitors side-by-side, set one brightness at 100%, set the other at 5%. Screencap same image on both. The screencap/print-screen reveals pixel colors that are IDENTICAL. A *camera* would reveal the brightness setting differences, a *camera* would reveal "bad caps" on one monitor relative to the other, et cetera. THERE ARE CSS DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SUPERMIUM AND OFFICIAL CHROME. DIG THROUGH THEM IF YOU REALLY WANT TO FIX *YOUR* BRIGHTNESS ISSUES. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO FIND THEM FOR YOU!

I have no idea why the author changed it to overblown white! All Chromium forks I saw to this date, had the standard brightness. And even the white colour there was pleasant, not too bright.

In this case, the brightness keeps climbing up with every and each release. Like the author's monitor was closer ans closer to the deathbed, Or his eyesight rapidly declined.

D.Draker Posted March 17 Posted March 17 (edited) @Dave-H, @VistaLover, friends, could you ask the question on github? I'm pretty sure @NotHereToPlayGames won't do it, since he said he was hiding, so I'm not even asking. The question is simple, why there was a brightness increase made, probably he has an eye condition, but then again, not everyone does. Also, why the colour was changed to piercing white from light grey. Thank you all!

The *only* light gray discussed thus far is the INACTIVE WINDOW TITLE (TAB) BAR which changed to a blue that is darker than the ACTIVE WINDOW TITLE (TAB) BAR. Seriously, how can we report on GitHub if none of us are even on the "same page" - WHAT LIGHT GRAY HAS CHANGED TO "PIERCING WHITE" ??? ??? ??? Edited March 17 by NotHereToPlayGames
NotHereToPlayGames Posted March 17 Posted March 17 THINK ABOUT IT !!! If we are to "report" something to GitHub and "claim" that a color changed, THEN IT IS ON US TO FIND THE RGB/COLOR CHANGE WITHIN THE CSS DECLARATIONS !!! Then, AND ONLY THEN, can we ask the developer, "Why did you change RGB (a, b, c) to RGB (x, y, z)?" 1

NotHereToPlayGames Posted March 17 Posted March 17 (edited) Read the whole thread. Too many folks keep speed-reading and jumping over the important parts. The INACTIVE WINDOW is light gray. But that light gray in Official Chrome is changed to BLUE in Supermium. The "offense" is that a light gray is changed to (and I *quote*) "piercing white". Blue does not equal "piercing white", SO THE INACTIVE WINDOW (TAB BAR) IS *NOT* THE "OFFENSE". By all means, ask the developer himself. He's going to tell you the same exact thing that I've already told you - NO COLORS HAVE BEEN CHANGED. Font rendering has been changed, but that is NOT what is being "complained about". Until we find proof in a CSS DECLARATION, then you "dark mode" folks can keep running in circles all you want (none of you use Supermium anyway). I, on the other hand, have a vested interest in Supermium. I need a PORTABLE chrome-based for a laptop being set up for streaming. Some have had success with Supermium+Widevine, others have not. I'm still in-process. Edited March 17 by NotHereToPlayGames 2
D.Draker Posted March 17 Posted March 17 14 hours ago, NotHereToPlayGames said: But that light grey in Official Chrome is changed to BLUE in Supermium So you actually acknowledge the default theme had been tampered with. This tampering could easily set all colours off. That's why the question must be asked. 1

NotHereToPlayGames Posted March 17 Posted March 17 (edited) 1 hour ago, D.Draker said: And how would you know it, you don't use, never used Vista. NOT TRUE !!! I have used and you and I are as opposite as opposite can be on Vista - IT IS BY FAR THE UTMOST WORST OS I HAVE EVER USED !!! Post your "complaint" regarding Supermium AT GITHUB. And I'll be the first to "laugh out loud" when the developer replies no color has changed. Changing the tab bar color is one thing, THAT IS NOT WHAT YOU KEEP COMPLAINING ABOUT, you "all" keep complaining about overall brightness and font issues. THIS IS A DEAD END. 1 hour ago, D.Draker said: Wheras it doesn't glow in Brave. Not relevant! Brave is by far the most BLOATED browser I've ever ran across! I've had to axe out more out of Brave than I've ever had to axe out of 360Chrome! You have to compare to "virgin Chrome". 1 hour ago, D.Draker said: This tampering could easily set all colours off. THEY ARE REVEALED IN THE DEV TOOLS CSS DECLARATIONS. I CANNOT FIND ANY CSS COLOR CHANGES. AND NEITHER CAN YOU OR YOU WOULD POST A SCREENCAP OF DEV TOOLS AND PROCLAIM "TOLD YOU SO". YOU HAVE DONE NO "TOLD YOU SO" BECAUSE YOU CANNOT FIND ANY CSS COLOR CHANGE. Q. E. D. THIS IS A DEAD END. THIS IS A DEAD END. THIS IS A DEAD END. Done... Toodles... This has become nothing but a gigantic CIRCLE JERK... Contact GITHUB... Edited March 17 by NotHereToPlayGames 1
Klemper Posted March 18 Posted March 18 The acid blue colour is distracting, I like the default grey colour much better.
