Had to search for chrome.exe, which was in C:\Users\your_name\AppData\Local\Supermium\Application. This is a known issue since the initial release. https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/releases/tag/v115 "Shortcuts and Start Menu items will not be formed by the installer on Windows Vista. The workarounds are to directly extract the 7z archive to your desired area, or manually create shortcuts to Supermium, which will be installed in the AppData\Local\Chromium\Application folder." 1
Saxon Posted December 7, 2023 Posted December 7, 2023 I've been meaning to ask, does supermium support custom themes? 2
UCyborg Posted December 9, 2023 Posted December 9, 2023 Does Chromium support custom themes? GUI looks and feels like stock Chromium. Also, yay: ContextResult::kFatalFailure: Failed to create shared context for virtualization. Definitely much laggier because of it and zero ability to run WebGL. Vanilla up-to-date Vista with SP2. Also the below happens when restoring window when using Actual Window Manager, version 8.14.1, had problems with newer versions (it just exited after few minutes), only on Vista though. A workaround is to minimize it and restore it quickly afterwards. GDI font rendering looks weird to me, but at least web fonts render now.

Can't say anything about WebGL or GPU process, since I always block them completely, but I totally agree about the weird fonts. They are blurry and bright. I think people on this forum already noticed those bright fonts. There were a comparison picture posted somewhere with other chromiuims of the same version. 3

seven4ever Posted December 11, 2023 Posted December 11, 2023 I'm curious what will be the necessary ressources on XP to operate fluently. 1

I also wonder this as my system struggles already to run the latest 360 chrome (Chrome 115 was very very choppy on Youtube) with 3GB of RAM and I have an odl Intel Pentium D CPU 3.40 GHz ... my guess we won't be able to open many tabs at one time. Ha! I'm running a factory produced machine with old hardware that is failing.

Ctrl-F'd 'fonts' through this thread, couldn't find an answer. For me, on Vista x64, there's a missing font (see attached), any idea what it is? Thanks again for both the browser and extended kernel. 1

You can use inspect element, and point on the square to know what font it is, or you can use the WhatFont extension. 2
