Supermium

Again, you are being biased.

The original was not changed by the developer.

"Real" Chrome/Chromium uses PURE WHITE for the active tab, as does Supermium's active tab.

I meant to grab a screencap of v122 and not v125 but both use PURE WHITE for the active tab.

Win10 "app light mode" is where this PURE WHITE comes from.

Perhaps the underlying issue here is only for those using "dark mode"?

But the github report is showing tab colors for "app light mode" as that report is "complaining" about a PURE WHITE active tab.

And both Supermium and "real" Chrome/Chrome BOTH have this PURE WHITE active tab.

 Yeah, for those with a dead CCFL bulbs monitor. For me, Supermium lights up the whole room, I don't need to turn on the lights anymore, so yeah, again, a feature. Mind you, it's with the dark theme!

So it's not XP claissic theme bug only, I'm on Vista.

well i think you might should gonna turn the brightness and contrast settings a little lower, every monitor has that

My own eye doctors [plural] (optometrist and ophthalmologist) tells me that if I want to RUIN my eyesight, then "use dark mode".

The *three* people on this forum that discuss these "brightness" issues (in more than just web browsers) perhaps have already "ruined" their eyesight.

I am not an optometrist or an ophthalmologists but I do try to heed their advise when they tell me to "do not use dark mode".

Does it make any sense to me why this is the case?  No!  But I try to always do what the doc tells me.

Is their advise "biased"?  Doesn't appear to be, several medical web sites agree with them.

But there is also no doubt that "coders" and "gamers" LOVE LOVE LOVE dark mode.

It seems to me that it's because the "coder" and "gamer" has this infatuation with dark mode, that it is them that FLOOD the internet with PROS versus CONS.

And you might wanna read my posts (and all the users/others, too), I only get the excessive Brightness with the two clones/non-clones/whatever_they_call_them, I mean Supermium and Thornium.

So, why would I change my settings?

What does it have to do with the reported issue on github? The 1st image clearly shows the difference.

The github report is asking for v69 colorization/brightness

Supermium creator hasn't "changed" anything.  He is creating a v122 and is using v122 colorization/brightness.

If the Supermium creator wants to "bend over backwards" and add patch v122 to v69 colorization/brightness, "all the power to him".

But is it really "fair" for users to make such a request ???

What next?
"I like the colorization/brightness in v19, can you please implement that instead?"
"I like the colorization/brightness in v39, can you please implement that instead?"
"I like the colorization/brightness in v49, can you please implement that instead?"

OK! How then you'd explain CatsXP v122 has no excessive brightness issue? There were images posted before. Brave has no such issue, either.

That said, you can't run CatsXP on XP and Windows7, but can on Vista (with ex-kernel).

All I can tell you, "beyond a shadow of doubt", is that "real" Chrome/Chromium v122 and Supermium v122 both use PURE WHITE (RGB 255,255,255) for the active tab.

Anything beyond that is "not my problem".  My name was specifically invoked so I answered what was asked of me.

Perhaps an "alpha mask" is being used?

[user57]

well i do not think it makes to many sence to have style questions 

but actually if you do change your style also the buttons and apearness changes up

so in my opinion its not more then a style question - that you actually have also have by "control" panel then "appearance"

 

in the very past if you got a UI from somewhere it might even had a few bugs or flaws 

as long chrome is working well, it rather seems a lluxury question to me

 

 

[NotHereToPlayGames]

Agreed!  This whole "hubbub" about brightness in A vs B vs C is all BS to me.

The creator's intent should be focused toward a working and stable "port".

Not creating 30 different versions that all function 100% identically but have a color change here or a pixel change there all to appease "members on this web site like it this way", "members on that web site like it that way", "these members don't know about those members but they want it this way", et cetera...

CatsXP and Brave creators also haven't "changed" anything.  They created a v122 and used v122 colourisation/brightness.

So?

 Thank you, very helpful! members must take example from you!

[NotHereToPlayGames]

"Whatever"

At least I'm jumping through all of these hoops to show you "brightness complainers" SOMETHING.

This seems to be SYSTEM-BASED.  My system simply shows PURE WHITE in real Chrome/Chromium, shows PURE WHITE in Supermium/Thorium, and shows PURE WHITE in CatsXP!
