Re: SM 2.9.1 color scheme

2012-05-19 Thread MCBastos
Interviewed by CNN on 17/05/2012 14:59, W3BNR told the world:
 I accomplished two things this last week:
 1.  New Computer - now running Windows 7
 2.  Installed SM 2.9.1 on new computer
 
 Using the SM Default Theme when I 'hover' over an item, either the icon for a
 drop-down menu or an item in the drop-down menu the text changes to white and
 the background is the same as the existing background except lighter..  Very
 hard to read what is selected.
 
 If I switch to SM Modern Theme this hovering action shows black text on a 
 light
 blue background.  Easy to read.
 
 Also on my Linux Mint machine running SM 2.9.1 Default theme the background is
 black and the text is white. Also easy to read.
 
 This would seem be be a change in SM 2.9.1 not Win 7.  Anyone else seeing 
 this?
 

OK. First of all, let me make clear that I'm also using SM 2.9.1 on
Windows 7 X64 SP1. For the purposes of this thing, I disabled the
Personas mini-theme I was using and reverted to plain Seamonkey Default
Theme.

If Windows 7 is using the Windows Classic theme (the one that looks
rather like Windows 2000, or perhaps Win98), the toolbars/menubars of SM
take beige-ish shade, one very very slightly warmer (that is, beiger
as opposed as greyer) to my eyes than the Windows Explorer toolbars. In
this legacy mode, menus keep the same color (black on gray), except when
you are hovering the mouse over a line of an opened menu -- then that
line is displayed as white text over dark blue background. Hovering the
mouse over a button or a *closed* menu only highlights it with an
outset border, making it look like a button to be pressed. In the case
of the toolbar icons, there are slightly different icons for the
normal, hover and pressed states. That's all consistent --
although not quite identical -- with the Windows theme.

On Windows 7 Basic or Aero themes, the toolbars take on a
purplish-blue shade, slightly purpler for some reason than the
Windows 7 Basic shade I see on Windows Explorer (yes, even on Aero,
even if Aero is using some other color shade for tinting the glass
parts of the interface). The shiny effect on the menu bar, which seems
intended to make it look slightly convex, is also a bit off. But it's
generally consistent with the Aero Basic look. (Seamonkey does not
support full Aero transparencies).

On Aero, the hover pseudo-3D effect is slightly different, with
rounded corners on the buttons (consistent with the Aero Basic look),
but otherwise similar to the one in Windos Classic.

The menus themselves aren't light blue, but light gray (again,
consistent with the Aero look -- blame whoever at Microsoft was
responsible for the UI design if you consider this a lack o consistency,
Seamonkey just emulated the look). When I hover the mouse over an opened
menu, the horizontal bar highlight for the hovered option is a very
light blue highlight/frame, but keeping the font black (well, except for
greyed out items, when the highlight is also grey, with the border of
the highlight a bit darker than the usual menu background). Again,
consistent with the Aero look.

(Aside: It seems that the theme guys didn't _quite_ manage to reproduce
the Vista/Win7 look using the Mozilla toolkit, but they did get damn
close. I only notice the slight differences between the native Windows
theme and the emulated version in Seamonkey because I was looking for it
-- I have been using SM on Win7 for about one year and a half and never
had noticed those differences).

Anyway, the text on a hovered item in a drop-down menu only turned to
white (over a *dark blue* background, however) when using the Windows
Classic theme. On the Windows 7, the text remained black.

I think gjikkl may be on to something; perhaps there is something wrong
with the theming on your Windows, and the theme is not being able to
interpret the cues from the OS correctly -- and ended up using an unholy
mix of the Wndows Classic and Aero versions of the theme.

A few things to try:
- Open one of the bundled Windows applets (like Windows Explorer, or
Notepad). Check the menu behavior on those and compare it to the
Seamonkey behavior.
- Change the theme to Windows 7 Basic. Repeat the test above.
- Change the theme to Windows Classic. Repeat the test above.
- Change back to one of the Aero themes - it may be the Windows 7
theme, or any one of the others (the ones with transparent glass
effects, I mean). Repeat the test above to see if the change/change back
theme could have fixed the issue.

Still didn't work? Check with your video card/embedded card maker to see
if you aren't using an old version of their driver. Some earlier drivers
are notoriously buggy.

Still didn't work? Well, maybe it's something wrong in your Seamonkey
profile. Try creating a clean SM profile, just for test purposes. If
this clean profile does not display the problem then it's a profile issue.

If not... well, I'm not sure what could be causing this either. In that
case, you might want to file a Bugzilla bug for

Thanks to you and Daniel for the test. This seems to prove that the 
amount of RAM in use is more-or-less dependent on *what pages* are loaded 
in the ~12 tabs, and not actually any kind of fault of the browser or the 
tabs themselves. If one loads pages containing lots of unknown images of 
various file sizes and other multimedia, the memory usage will be high. 
Keep in mind, too, that any pages that have that silly Facebook Like 
button, there's another over-a-quarter-megabyte of JavaScript, each.

As I said, my test involved a dozen tabs each with a small ~4KB page (no 
images, only text and links), and the total amount of RAM used by 
SeaMonkey was ~50MB. I don't see a browser issue here.

Beauregard, just for a further test, so you would know how much 
graphics, etc, is loaded in the viewed pages, I just opened twelve tabs 
all addressed to http://www.seamonkey-project.org/. vsize 668MB .. 
which is roughly the same as what I was getting for my earlier three tabs!!

Re: After 2.9.x upgrade, slower to empty Junk folder

2012-05-19 Thread Michael Lueck

Greetings,

I also noticed SM 2.9.1 running on Windows XP Pro with NTFS is equally slower 
about deleting all messages from the Junk folder. So this is a cross-platform 
observation.

What happened between the 2.8.x series and the 2.9.x series that would make 
deleting all Junk messages extremely slower?

I would think that View Source should do exactly that... Show the actual

No search and replace type translation should be performed on the output of 
View Source.

So is SM actually translating anything? Have you done a wget of the URL in

I don't have to do a wget.  I tried it on one of my own pages.  I keep a
complete copy of my Web site on the hard drive of my PC.

I see this problem when I want to copy some markup from an existing Web
page into another page.  This is easily done by marking the content in a
rendered page and then viewing the source (right-click, View Selection
Source on the pull-down context menu).  The marked content is then
marked in the source, so all I have to do is copy and paste.

I do not see this problem when I go to the SeaMonkey menu bar and select
[View  Page Source].  Then it seems that all entity references remain
untranslated.

Then that should be the way you get your copy.

What are you using for an editor (which could also affect what is

 Pray tell, what pages are opened in those 18 tabs?

 Why would Seamonkey be chewing up 430 megs of RAM all the time?

 Because it makes ineficient use of cache, but works toward that has been 
 initiated and they say will continue to improve over time, for now he 
 have to settle for a FAT SEAMONKEY, that's getting thiner VERY SLOWLY.

 
 People keep saying to just give it up and use Firefox. 
 
 With the interminably slow bookmarks loading in SM, I'm getting to agree with 
 them.

Uh? I don't notice that, and I have quite a few bookmarks. The menu just
snaps open.

Anyway, Firefox has been on a diet for the last year. Only it's not
really Firefox who is on a diet, but Gecko. Which means that Seamonkey
should reap most of the benefits too.

However, there is a delay between an improvement being announced as
landed and it actually showing up in a release version. For instance,
there was recently an announcement of a patch that greatly reduces the
problem of add-ons leaking memory. Only, of course, the patch landed
on the *trunk*. Which means that it won't see the light of the day until
Firefox 15, scheduled for August 15 I believe (Current Beta version is
FF 13, Aurora is FF 14). That is, if no serious problems are found with
this patch while undergoing the Aurora and Beta stabilization phases. If
a serious problem is found, this feature might be delayed a bit more.

But it's a Gecko patch, meaning that if FF 15 has it, SM 2.12 (also due
in August) should have it too.
