livvy Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 <----Theo's words :eh: <--- me I tried Chrome, but it gets disoriented when its zoom is anything but 100% which is highly unhelpful for RSing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Livvy, I'm basically saying: Firefox 4 has more oomph than Chrome, and is about as fast (at least for my use cases). I can make the Firefox icon in the right size and format for CAV. Like so: http://www.masteryofthearts.co.cc/random/fx.ico Hmm... it seems ICO doesn't support alpha transparency though. So the shadow isn't as smooth as it should be. *grumble* Edit: Scratch that last statement, I just screwed up the indexing pallet. The image should be fine now. :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domino Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I use Chrome. FF is too slow for me right now, but maybe with the update? I like my pretty Chrome themes (FF themes for Macs are in scarce supply or just don't work quite right). They both have their benefits...FF has a HUGE number of extensions that are great, and aren't available in the same way as with Chrome, although I make do. And Safari. Ugh. I dunno. I can't deal with it. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I've never used the Firefox theme system much myself. I've always stuck with its default theme, because it integrates almost perfectly with the built-in GTK theming on GNOME in Linux (basically I have themes for my whole operating system). :yes: But I can see why the glitches would drive you crazy (even slight blips irritate me to no end).

Luciana Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Hey AA, do you work for FF or something? The way you talk about it makes it sound like you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I like Chrome because it's simple. I don't need, or want, lots of bells and whistles. So it's perfect for me. My husband will use nothing BUT Firefox, because he likes lots of fancy stuff to play with. Oh and as usual, the alarm thing continued. I woke up at 5:35 this morning. My alarm goes off at 5:40. :laughingsmiley: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Ryan Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I like I because... Oh wait, I don't like IE... Lol. xD I didn't have to set my alarm today. 8D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livvy Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 If by "work for" you mean "get paid by" then no, AA doesn't work for FF. He's just something of a coding and development aficionado. Spritzie, I agree with you (of course) on the fancy bells and whistles. The only thing I didn't like about Chrome was that it got disoriented when I zoomed out so I couldn't RS properly.

-Ryan Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 What does aficionado mean? -curious and wants to know how AA is connected to FF- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I don't zoom in or out, so I wouldn't have noticed that. I think my favorite thing about Chrome, is the thumbnails of your most visited sites (or whatever you want to set them as.) when you open a new tab. I don't have to look through my bookmarks, or use my bookmark bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domino Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I mean, I guess it doesn't really matter which one I like best, (although it is Chrome), because I use all of them. Now that I think about it, using 3 different browsers at once is a little weird. Why don't I just keep them all in the same window? Hmm. But my favorite part of chrome is...it launches really quickly. So I don't have to wait like....the extra 30 seconds for FF :laughingsmiley: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Firefox doesn't agree with my work computer. I have too many work related programs running. Firefox would be great on my new netbook, but now I'm too attached to Chrome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Ryan Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Hey, what was with that weird board in another language? I posted on it right before I left and now it seems to be gone. xD My parents won't let me switch to FF. <.<' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 It was someone spamming the boards, with ads and nonsense. So it was removed. (It wasn't a introduction post in a different language.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Ryan Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Ahhh. I really need to learn a second language, or how to use Google translator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Chrome offers to translate pages in other languages. So I can quickly tell if something is wrong or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Ryan Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Cool, I wonder if... AHA! I found the translator. -nodnod- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Uh oh. Are you going to translate your member title into Spanish now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAV of Gang Green Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 He wouldn't. He's bluffing, and his title would be a lie because it's Spanish while we are looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Then maybe he'll make up a new member title in Spanish. Or another language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seliphra Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 We can't have member titles in anything other than English? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Ryan Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 No, I think we can. And btw, thanks for the ideas people. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Though I couldn't find any rules about it (I do know that English should be used in posts, since this is an English language forum.), it'd probably be best not to even start something like that. Mods would have to start translating the member titles to make sure it wasn't inappropriate. I was only mentioning it as a joke, not as a suggestion. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Ryan Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Awww, I wanted it to say 'This member title is in English when you're not looking' in spanish. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler. Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 that's what I just did, so ha! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
