Re: [slim] Google Chrome new browser
One thing I see in Chrome, as I've seen reported elsewhere for other browsers, is the way the left-hand side of the Default skin is rendered. change 23050 (7.2.1) - please give it a try: the default height of those panels was too small. I've now made it huge, so at least you won't see the footer while the page is loading. IMHO this is less disturbing. Thanks!

In fact, Chrome typically takes more memory than other browsers (as it runs a full blown process per tab) - the trade off is better security and reliability. Ah yes, forgot about a tab for each.. still only totals 58mb though. I would expect that having a process for each will avoid the bloating memory leaks that IE has. -- Khuli http://www.last.fm/user/khuli Khuli's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=851 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51913 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

It's still lower than I was getting with Firefox 3 - that was about 100mb. Maybe it'll increase when I keep it running longer.. will be interesting to see.

In Chrome instead you get the normal Google search result page which you then need to click through to get to the map. ctrl-f doesn't even come close to the toolbar functionality, even if it lets you search the page it doesn't do things like multiple keywords each highlighted in its own colour. -- andynormancx Yes, it will.

Re: [slim] Google Chrome new browser
I have spent a little longer using Chrome. At work most of today. It really is a much faster and smoother web experience than IE7 (I haven't fiddled with FF for many iterations though). You can only move playlist items in IE7 by clicking and dragging the artwork of files (using SC7.2). You can click anywhere on the playlist item in Chrome to move them within a playlist, which is how I believe it should work. Only other thing I have spotted is if you pop the player out of the main web window, the address bar appears on the top of popout window (attached). Perhaps there is a way to disable this?

That sounds like a bug in the skin, not necessarily a plus for a new browser. So far I haven't really found Chrome to 'feel' significantly faster than Firefox with the SC7 Default skin, but both are running on a fairly fast PC. Firefox still seems to render pages faster. I wouldn't be surprised if the difference was more significant on a slower machine. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51913 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

You can copy and paste that address into a new tab, then go to the little page icon that brings up a menu, and choose to save as application shortcut. That will put an icon on your desktop which opens the player in a stand-alone window. Personally, I have not found Chrome any faster than Fx3 for running SC, but I kinda like the application shortcuts for some stuff when I don't want it cluttering up my Firefox tabs. -- MeSue Sue http://www.last.fm/user/MeSue MeSue's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=985 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51913 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
