My Browser Builds (Part 5)

It is obvious that it can be a "failure" of both browsers only in my XP ...

Now I checked: does any version of Serpent & New Moon show (in my XP!) graphics on www correctly?

And: the last version of Serpent showing graphics on the www correctly is
basilisk52-g4.1.win32-git-20180922-3c04affe2-XPMOD - will this information help in the investigation...?

And: I have not found ANY version of New Moon, which displays the graphics correctly (in my XP).

Any idea to find a reason for failure?

There is no such issue in, for example, Serpent 52 (2025-04-03) on my Windows XP computer.



Did you try it in a brand new and clean profile without any modifications?  FYI, you generally should only post issues confirmed in such a profile.

I don't have a crystal ball, and this is not a guessing game.  If you really need help, unspecific questions or replies without any information are simply useless. Your problem page works fine in New Moon 28 and Serpent 52, which means that something is wrong on your side. Good luck finding the cause!

thank you.

the solution is:  gfx.color_management.mode to 0

What graphics card do you use?

Palemon and Basilsk
Some image galleries can't be viewed.
Big Images do not load, only thumbnails can be seen
When I click on a thumbnail, the wheel spins endlessly, but the higher resolution image does not load.

The default value of the gfx.color_management.mode pref in New Moon 28, Serpent 52 and Mypal 68 is 2. And this works for me. No need here to set it to 0.

We know about it

You are lucky

as You can see - in my case it does not work. So: it is better to get out of propaganda and ask yourself: WHY?

CMS in New Moon and Serpent is configurable (0,1, 2 in about:config, e.g. via pale moon commander https://postimg.cc/9rrsJrzV and in Serpent only via about: config). Why is it configurable? When should you use it and why? I still (almost, almost ...) don't know.

In any case, in my browsers "0" works OK.

So...maybe another competition :). Let's grab the other bull --> examples of www: https://vider.pl/vid/+fs85ve5

Players in New Moon and Serpent do not play --> https://postimg.cc/rDD2H22r.

WHY?
(Firefox? also, but N.moon and Serpent are to eliminate such disasters in XP...)

And: how to find the cause?

You didn't provide any information about your previous setting of the gfx.color_management.mode pref. You only stated that you solved it by switching the pref to 0. And therefore, I can't see any propaganda from my side but in contrast to you detailed information. And TBH, I have to ask myself nothing at his point as it works for me with the default setting. So, you should rather ask yourself. And since you are so extremely polite , there will be no further help from me at this point. The sound of words makes the music. I do not have to be insulted and to waste my time for nothing.

@covo by the way, what if you right-click on the setting and choose "Reset"? What are your other "gfx" (in about:config search for gfx) settings?

@adata I'm using Serpent 52.9 and I too only get spinning wheel when clicking on thumbnail on the forum link you posted and also on techpowerup forum for that matter.

I'm still skeptical of you,but i'll just say something

 

Just because the default configuration works for you,doesn't mean it will always work.

Where did I claim that it always works?  First of all, it works for me on my Windows XP computer (real installation on a hard disk with time-period correct, old hardware, i.e. no virtualisation).  And that means that it can basically work. No more and no less.

Does those count as you saying that? Not directly,but i'm assuming you basically saying that it'll always work.

Your assumption is wrong. Doesn't seem to be one of your strengths. You solely interpret, but not particularly well. All your quotations lead to the statement that it works for me. No more, no less.
