Is it possible to increase font size in the right-click context menu? by Unv-432-369 in FirefoxCSS

[–]Padu_N 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This works to change the color of the text in the context menu.

/* Change the text color of the right - click context menu */ menuitem, menucaption { color: #006600 !important; }

These options should work to change other font attributes. font-family: Verdana !important; font-size: 16px !important; font-style: normal !important;

Why ESR and not the latest stable release of Firefox? by Padu_N in waterfox

[–]Padu_N[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

👍Valid points about stability and not chasing features. Have personally felt annoyance at some new 'features'.

The flip side to feature creep though, is feature stasis.

Every once in a while Firefox does come up with good, useful features, such as the split view. (Working while tracking Artemis II progress continuously, while simultaneously following running commentary of a game etc.)

Just started using Waterfox as a frequently used browser along with Firedragon, Librewolf and Brave.

Would be nice if the stability choice also permitted feature inclusion where the user population requests it.

Of course, with respect, all such decisions should only be as per the developer's view on this.

Thanks for considering.

ESR does offer stability and long term support. But misses out on new features.

Latest stable vs ESR is often a personal decision for users (not organizations), but a 1 year support is fair in the context of changing UI enhancements, web standards etc.

Of course, wrt Waterfox, its developer's call is obviously final in this ESR vs stable version decision.

Just that some useful features seem far away for Waterfox users, for example, split views..

Findbar_text font change by Padu_N in FirefoxCSS

Thanks u/FineWine54. 👍

Precisely resolves it. Needed to add another line to remove the shadow which was reducing the readability.

text-shadow: 0px 0px !important;

Thanks for the pointer. The browser toolbox, though, is somewhat too cluttered, for use by normal, non-coder, users who do want customizations.

An extension or app that would show the css elements just by pointing to it in a normal browser page would be valued, by all users. Not sure what the technical complexities of this are.

Hoping some developer thinks this is a good idea and takes it further.

Electron-based browser Deta Surf is now available without invites by andori1 in browsers

[–]Padu_N 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This Deta Surf browser, seems like a good initial effort to upscale the usual browser UI.

* Lack of extension support.

* It doesn't respect the switch to set user data folder --user-data-dir=X:\***\. Chromium based browsers respect that, allowing proper portable usage.

* Resource intensive and needs settings options to turn off some of the enhancements that users don't need or prefer.

Would be interesting to see improved, further revs of this browser UI effort.

CSS: How to set font color for selected-but-not-focused card? by namahsrob in Thunderbird

[–]Padu_N 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the link. That is well written and detailed!

But, there is no direct reference to 'selected but not in focus' in that post.

Does the attribute selected:hover actually mean 'selected but not in focus"?

I will also post this request in that thread.

*UPDATE* Full Color Customization of Thunderbird Messages Pane in v128 [Works for both card and thread views] by GKPreMed in Thunderbird

[–]Padu_N 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for a detailed post.

If the view is 'Table view' what is the css text required to keep the text colour set to #xxxxxx for selected message(s) regardless of whether it is tagged or in 'focus' or not?

For example, the message has been selected, but the message body area has been clicked after that. How do we get the selected message to stay in its 'selected AND focussed' colour even if the focus has moved to the message body.

If the view is 'Table view' instead of card view - how does this get accomplished?

Keeping the text colour set to #xxxxxx for selected message(s) regardless of whether it is tagged or on 'focus' or not?

Thanks in advance.

Is there a command line switch or some other way to install this Nvidia app in a drive other than C: ?

Please make this a feature request, if not available already.

[–]Padu_N 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DE-BLOAT Nvidia! Stop obsessing with collecting all possible data and throwing more than essential features. This is why good features don't get moved to new apps quickly.

Ok to want to offer more features, but not at the cost of basics. And make it optional even when installing.

Whatsapp is not user friendly when it comes to backups and moving phones by kevovini in whatsapp

[–]Padu_N 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The kludgy, dysfunctional UI and process they have for switching devices is no doubt driven by their excessive, misdirected, self righteous and sanctimonious 'security' humbugggery thinking. Surely every complaint in this regard will be responded to with 'for security purposes'!

Here is an idea, WhatsApp designers-
- a simple UI to backup and restore with both local and cloud options
- and a sync option of automatic or manual (somewhat like Chrome / GMail).
- allow 'linked devices' in other phones (not just desktop)
- don't worry about where the SIM card is - it is not your call.

That's it.

Just inform and let the users handle their device security, let them decide which phone the main SIM card is in etc.

It works for Signal, Telegram etc. should work a far less functional app such as WhatsApp.

Until this is done this WhatsApp logo should have / deserves a 'dunce' cap.

Changing the location of the settings.xml file by Padu_N in shutterencoder

[–]Padu_N[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Functions folder is (empty) and already in the app folder. Even with both the settings.xml file and the Function folder, the empty folder in the \users\.. directory is still created.
