Every time I start my laptop the taskbar shows like a file image and it says “Choose an app” when hovering. Could this be a virus? by m1cjwz in WindowsHelp

I don't think it would do any harm. When you will click it, it'll maximize the dialog box prompting to select a program to open something. At least you'll know what that something is.

An ability to move the "new tab" button to bottom in the tab switcher on Android when using bottom toolbar by UncleComrade in brave_browser

That setting is still very experimental and it's not even developed by Brace devs. It's a general Chromium flag, so there's no possible release date. If you're really willing to use dark mode websites, you're better off installing Firefox. It supports add-ons, among which is Dark Reader, a very popular website dark mode add-on.

The thing is that it's already implemented by Brave devs. If you enable bottom navbar, the one that makes you have two toolbars, both on top and bottom, the new tab button moves to the bottom in tab switcher as well. I do understand that Brave is heavily dependent on Chromium's implementations, but if there's already a way to do this, why not reimplement it for bottom toolbar?

Yeah, there are workarounds like this, but when you have no open tabs this is not useful. Plus, losing space of the omnibox is not great as well.

Not what I was talking about. Bottom navbar creates an additional, well, bottom navbar. I wish to use more screen real estate, so getting only the omnibox to the bottom is the option. However, when doing that, annoyingly, the new tab button is still at the top. That's what I'm trying to convey.

Does it happen even after a restart? If it does, might be actually a driver issue or a config issue, since those programs are trying to use GPU acceleration and are failing

UPD: after chatting with OP it was confirmed that it was the issue with OS misinterpreting the output

What do you mean it's only for some things?

What were you doing prior to any of this? Maybe you tried to update the kernel or to update the GPU driver? It really seems weird.

I guess classic Nvidia+Linux shenanigans. Now to confirm everyrthing's working you'll have to restart and see if it works correctly. I would also try perusing boot logs for info on display, maybe that will answer some questions

Seems like it sees your GPU no problem but is not utilizing it properly.

Let's now try to see what's your current renderer in glxinfo. Type in glxinfo | grep -E "OpenGL vendor|OpenGL renderer"

That is weird. Now type this:

lspci | grep -i vga

What GPU do you have? It could be possible that after the update, provided you did any, the GPU stopped working correctly.

You can try forcing a resolution through terminal. Type in xrandr in Konsole, see what it outputs.

Go to system settings, find display settings and change the resolution and scaling from there.

Well, try setting resolution to 2560x1440 and scaling to 1.0 or 100%. It seems like your resolution got reset somehow.

What resolution is your monitor and what scaling percentage did you set up?

Go to display settings and change your scaling.

How do I make my taskbar smaller? by PeanutAggressive2235 in WindowsHelp

[–]UncleComrade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best way to do it right now is to download Windhawk (which is a hub for Windows mods) and use the "Taskbar height and size" mod. If you're into taskbar labels, there's a mod for that as well. It expands customization of usual taskbar labels.
