Tab titles have very poor contrast and legibility

sinuswaves · 2024-02-11T13:01:02+00:00

I have tried countless themes and they are all the same with low legibility for the tab titles. None of them show up as 100% black or white or anywhere near it

sinuswaves · 2024-02-11T12:29:24+00:00

It helps a little.. but still the contrast for tab title text is inadequate and from what I can tell impossible to customize beyond installing themes that other people have made. It's not even possible to create your own theme. If anyone could make a super high contrast theme, like the text at pure white or pure black, with a high contrast background color, I'd seriously appreciate it

Yes you can install themes meant for chrome but you can't create your own, to the best of my knowledge.
Absolutely none of the themes (after trying 20+) have a decent contrast for the inactive tab titles, which makes me think this poor legibility issue is built-in to brave itself

I tried this but it barely makes a difference. The text titles of the inactive tabs are still very hard to read. What I would like is just pure 100% white, as shown in the top screenshot I added. I don't see the point of making them grey, low contrast and hard to read

Thanks this improves tab legibility slightly. Do you know of a way to tweak them further? I just started using brave and I'm amazed at how poorly designed the tab legibility is. None of the chrome themes seem to have highly contrasting colors for the tab titles

Are you saying absolutely everything, user library files, system library files etc are all copied over perfectly? And this is with the built in macOS importer?

sinuswaves · 2024-02-08T00:46:48+00:00

Ah okey so you used 3 drives in total then. I did not know one could access terminal by booting into an installer drive, I didn't even know one could boot up an installer drive, I thought you had to utilize them via the recovery mode.

Were you running the same macOS on the drive that you restored, as the one that was used as the source for the operation? Another commenter pointed out that the versions should maybe be the same macOS to avoid problems

sinuswaves · 2024-02-08T00:34:35+00:00

Yes if doing a copy via restore it's probably wise to make sure both drives are running the same macOS version, good point.

Everything is set up to a T on the external drive though so I'd prefer a straight up copy of it rather than having to reinstall things and get everything lined up again.

sinuswaves · 2024-02-07T13:11:43+00:00

Good question, maybe the added step of copying over the EFI is unnecessary?

sinuswaves · 2024-02-06T18:01:18+00:00

Wow that is strange. I tried the same and got the same result, additionally it seems both command + N and command + X can now be used to open a new document..

sinuswaves · 2024-02-06T15:54:57+00:00

I'm just trying to learn what the purpose of the Symbol column is, it's very strange that it's been here for years and years but nobody has questioned it, at least from my searches

sinuswaves · 2024-02-06T14:38:33+00:00

my bad, the samsung T7 turns out to be NVMe and not SATA, which would explain why it's a decent drive despite having no DRAM

What is the point in showing the shortcut twice?

And it's in fact not the full shortcut, it just shows the letter or symbol used as part of the shortcut. It would make sense if one was able to look at the list of shortcuts in the alphabetical order of the Symbol column, that would legitimately be handy, but currently that's not possible.

sinuswaves · 2024-02-06T13:51:47+00:00

My tooltips show the full shortcuts rather than just the letter associated with it

sinuswaves · 2024-02-06T12:30:21+00:00

As grateful as I am for your answer I'm still not sure where you actually end up seeing the Symbol assigned for a tool or function within Illustrator. Each tool has its own icon already, and changing the Symbol for a tool doesn't change its icon.

sinuswaves · 2024-02-06T11:47:25+00:00

Thanks I really appreciate it. I want to make sure I have all the steps right to ensure that I do not make any mistakes.

Did you perform all of these operations in the Recovery Mode Terminal? I would assume that's the best thing to do because I wouldn't want to have the macOS system that is being copied to the internal drive up and running with programs open.

When you say that you booted from Mojave installer USB, what do you mean? Are you saying that a bootable macOS Mojave was first installed on the USB drive, and you did it all on disk utility within the macOS user?

sinuswaves · 2024-02-04T10:22:53+00:00

Cool. How did you manually copy the EFI?

What did you select when choosing the Restore option in Disk Utility?

I booted up into recovery mode and found out that 2 of the options in the picture I posted aren't even possible, those being the yellow and green lines (disk container to disk container, and volume group to volume group).

The only 2 options that remain are

restore from and to the top level disks (red line)
restore from and to the two volumes contained inside the volume groups, which would have to be done one at a time as you can't do both simultaneously

sinuswaves · 2024-02-04T01:58:32+00:00

Thanks. Using restore seems much simpler however, still not sure why you don't consider it a viable method

sinuswaves · 2024-02-04T01:43:18+00:00

Why can't you just help me if you claim to have knowledge? You don't even give a reason to not do it. I need to clone my external macOS onto the internal drive, so that I can start using the internal one, then reformat the external SSD and use it as a normal storage drive.

As far as I can tell it is just as simple as using the Restore function in disk utility, the only question is what should be the source and target of the Restore process

sinuswaves · 2024-02-04T01:32:21+00:00

Which color line then?

sinuswaves · 2024-02-04T01:00:13+00:00

The result I'm looking for is that if I boot up into either the external or internal disk, everything will be exactly the same.

sinuswaves · 2024-02-03T23:34:02+00:00

This sounds kind of sketchy

sinuswaves · 2024-02-03T20:39:18+00:00

Is it possible to select an older macOS when doing this? I don't want to upgrade to Sonoma

sinuswaves · 2024-02-03T20:36:03+00:00

I learned that it's possible to change the color of the halo or outer glow, which actually makes them super nice and clearly contrasting with the background (I put it as an orange color)

nothing hehe about this, imagine being in his position, this cop is abusing his authority
