Arc 2.0

[half wadi]

Do you have Sine? If not, use it.

[alpine coral]

i don't have sine

i have arc 2.0

but an older version

i dont like newer version cause it has that cheap effect on tabs, when hovering

[half wadi]

Ok well use Sine and latest version of Arc, you'll get an option to turn off animations for tabs.

And I don't think it's cheap bro... Many actually wanted it, that's why I did it in theme.

[alpine coral]

i find it to look very cheap

as that's my job, i'm an ui/ux designer

that's just my view

[half wadi]

Ig you don't have much fancy ui taste and rather prefer things simple. Well anyways, there should be an option for everything.

[alpine coral]

🙂

https://www.navarror.com/

[half wadi]

Wait a minute or two, I editing json file to add a pref for this.

@alpine coral By that time, please install latest Sine.

[alpine coral]

sure, will do a bit later if you're still on

i have to jump in a meeting

[half wadi]

I know what you mean but -

Why are you supposed to jump in a meeting? 😕

[half wadi]

@alpine coral Update me with status after meeting is complete and you are free

[alpine coral]

hey

finished the work for today

let's do it

question: by installing Sine and etc. It a must for me to keep all of my history, and accounts signed-in

i need it for work

[half wadi]

Nothing is affected by installing Sine, if that's what you're asking

Sine is just a better mod management system with which you can even use JS mods that can provide extra features

[alpine coral]

oke

how do i install it?

[half wadi]

Lemme dm you sine server link

[alpine coral]

@half wadi I want to reinstall windows, to install 25H2, but i'd like to keep every data from Zen, accounts ,history, log-ins, customization, how can I save these data?

[shut finch]

I could help you most

So you could go and get cookie manager extension to get all the login info. And create a Firefox account to get history, bookmarks, extensions, etc. These are the most important parts and for mods just export it so that when you import it they will automatically installed

[low prawn]

Back up your profile folder from about:config

[half wadi]

@alpine coral I hope suggestions from CTG and aser worked. 🙂

[elder helm]

I set the container gradient to none but theres still that green on the right, is there a way to remove it?

and is there a way to not remove but reduce the blur when using the url bar

[twilit stream]

How can I reinstall from scratch without leaving anything saved, history, bookmarks or mods?

@half wadi

[half wadi]

Just create a new profile.

[half wadi]

If you have installed the mod via Sine, then you get option there to enter the amount of blur you want.

[half wadi]

It can't be removed as it's needed to show when you're using a container tab.

You can just disable containers in Settings.

[elder helm]

Can I change it with my own css or would the mod override it

[half wadi]

You have to set none in Arc2.0, then enable your CSS.

[elder helm]

actually there was a way to just do it from the settings under tab management

[half wadi]

Yup, that's what I meant. You can disable it with settings

[river shell]

is their a why to remove the blur when a page loading i moved to using Arc 2.0 (v3.2.9) and I am not sure how to remove this behavior

[half wadi]

How have you installed the theme?

Via Sine or via traditional method.

[river shell]

with the Sine Mods
this is my current page

[half wadi]

Yeah, so enable Arc2.0 and click on settings button.

[river shell]

the what should i set to remove the loading blur?

[half wadi]

Yeah well ping me when you reply.

So can you send ss of the settings panel that opens after clicking mod settings button?

[river shell]

here

[river shell]

this is as a single image

[half wadi]

Change this in your preference.

[river shell]

Thanks man, I really appreciate the help🙏

[half wadi]

@river shell Also, try every prefs man, I made so many for a reason lol!

[river shell]

haha no worry it will happen, I also plan to manually change the css until now I didn't even know there was settings I always changed directly the css

[half wadi]

Yk what, reinstall Arc2.0 so that you can now set it as you like via settings!

[whole nexus]

Is Arc 2.0 more efficient than Zen without anything? I find that Zen eats up a lot of RAM, I have to restart it regularly because I get freezes... and I see that there is RAM management... is it effective?

It only happens on a few sites... but it's quite frustrating because they're the ones I use at work (jira for example)

[shut finch]

Arc2.0 is a theme for zen

[half wadi]

Stock Zen is the best for performance. While any theme is bound to make Zen slower due to extra fancy customizations added, Arc2.0 is made to be as performance efficient as possible while providing animations and UI tweaks you might like and choose from mod settings...

[whole nexus]

But why do I have to regularly quit Zen or clear the memory so that it doesn't skyrocket my RAM? I once saw that I had 60 GB of RAM when I only have 32...

everything was frozen, I couldn't do anything anymore...

[half wadi]

You on macos?

[whole nexus]

yup tahoe

In fact, I'm on both: macOS Tahoe and Windows 11.

I think the garbage collector isn't working: it never goes back down in its RAM usage, even if I have 5 or 20 tabs it doesn't change anything

on mac I have zero theme, 1 extension (bitwarden) and I have 4 spaces with 4 or 5 tabs open...

[half wadi]

Yeah, well just keep the about:memory tab open all times, and the moment Zen feels slow, go to it and click Minimize Memory Usage.

[whole nexus]

I kept the Arc 2.0 configuration on my Mac for performance (fade unloaded tabs, amount of memory before unloading, duration before unload and performance efficient mode)

I hope this helps while keeping a theme-free browser

[half wadi]

Ig Zen needs a bit more optimizations with Mac.

[azure haven]

:has:has:has:has:has:has:has:has:has:has:has:has

"why's zen so slowww"

[half wadi]

Can't replace :has, it's needed to make theme look good. 🙂

[azure haven]

trust me, you can

if you have to use it, you've done something wrong

[shut finch]

Ok what is going on here

[half wadi]

Then help me man. I want Zen to look very good with a subtle Arc look. Like in your free time, just edit all :has in theme and replace it in such a way that what intends to happen does happen while performance being uncompromised and make a PR.

[azure haven]

I dont really have the time to look at it

send the link and ill go from time to time

[half wadi]

Ok.

[half wadi]

https://github.com/YashjitPal/Arc-2.0

[civic orchid]

@shut finch

In the multi-toolbars mode, enable the compact mode (hide the two toolbars)

The bookmark bar will display an error.

Disable arc2.0 will return to normal.

[half wadi]

Arc2.0 is currently supposed to only support Single Toolbar Mode. Will try supporting other modes if I and CTG get time.

[civic orchid]

Hmmm……

@shut finch @half wadi

[half wadi]

Can you try to make a fix for it. Idk myself how to do it.

.

[civic orchid]

In fact, I was also quite surprised because Arc 2.0 returned to normal again at noon today. I have no idea at all where the problem actually lies.

（the time when this video was recorded was at night for me.)

[half wadi]

oh, isee

[half wadi]

Yeah, these different modes are so hard to manage. Every update breaks something - I'll just crash out now.

https://tenor.com/view/indignation-jump-window-done-gif-3443826

[civic orchid]

Zen's updates often modify some underlying elements, causing the CSS hits to become ineffective.

Nebula merely failed to update for just one month, and then a large number of problems emerged.

[half wadi]

Yeah, I have decided to keep Arc2.0 styling centered to Single toolbar mode, cause I just can't with other modes malfunctioning each update. Even if it was a simple class ID change, I wouldn't complain, but it's so complex to figure out every element... If others (even you) can make PR with a fix, I'll gladly appreciate it, or it is Single Toolbar as I am quite busy these days.

[hidden sand]

it worked fine before this update 🥀 i get it though, thanks for your efforts

most themes are broken on collapsed now and i exclusively use collapsed bar

[civic orchid]

I don't often use the "Compact mode > Hide both" option. I merely raised this issue based on the phenomenon that I happened to notice. However, I will first try to fix it.Now I have removed the irrelevant CSS and corrected the position of the toolbar.

[low prawn]

What is this

[half wadi]

wtf

[azure haven]

Remove arcline

[half wadi]

@low prawn Update to latest Zen as well

Arc2.0 never messes with this menu lol

[low prawn]

I don't have it, and zen is latest version

[half wadi]

Show me you installed mods list

[azure haven]

I think js mods are still left behind, even after removing

Or in cache or something

[half wadi]

Disabling this solves the issue?

@low prawn you there?

[low prawn]

I don't think so

[half wadi]

Remove any irrelevant JS file(s) of mod(s) you don't have in the list that might be there with its name or some weird bunch of numbers and letters.

In chrome > JS folder

@low prawn Found any of such JS file?

[low prawn]

I believe it was arcline that had weird name, fixed, thanks

[half wadi]

cheff was right!

[low prawn]

Yep, opened it and I think it was arcline
That thing started happening after the last update, it was fine before

[civic orchid]

Hmm, a small bug

[half wadi]

That it doesn't have border?

[civic orchid]

The position of the search bar seems to have shifted upward by a certain distance, which has caused the icons not to be aligned properly.

[half wadi]

Wait how is that sidebar even up there?

Floating URLBar is supposed to be floating in the middle of window. 😭

[civic orchid]

Normal or Floating only when typing

[half wadi]

Ooh, this looks good!

Like the alignment seems to be fixed

Did you fix it someway?

[civic orchid]

not yet

[half wadi]

Oh, then it seems new Zen update somehow did it...

[low prawn]

Does anyone has that bug that url bar is overflowing in compact mode? Top left side

[shut finch]

Did you updated to the latest version

Of zen?

[low prawn]

Yes

[mighty vortex]

Extensions button disappear.

[half wadi]

It's there in Control Center.

[mighty vortex]

My bad.. i'm dumb

[shut finch]

I was also confused at first when there is a new update so you are not the only one

I am also there with you

[civic orchid]

@half wadi I think I know the reason for this issue.

The various blurry effects of the labels are calculated using the formula calc(100% - (var(--zen-element-separation) * num)). However, it is unknown why in the full-screen mode, the value of --zen-element-separation becomes 0.

Recent I used this formula to forcibly set the height of the sidebar, I noticed that when the browser entered full-screen mode, even though the toolbar was not hidden, the height of the sidebar remained at 100%.

[half wadi]

Ooh, so is there a way to solve this??? . .

[civic orchid]

Just need to find an alternative - a browser internal variable named zen-element-separation. But I don't know how to look for it.

[shut finch]

Hry fellas what is happening here

[civic orchid]

We are discussing how to fix the background of the sidebar.

[civic orchid]

this @shut finch

[shut finch]

Oh okay

[alpine coral]

[alpine coral]

how to decrease this font size on menus?

[alpine coral]

how to move all acounts saved from a profile to other?'

[shut finch]

Oh ok so here's the thing

@alpine coral

[shut finch]

There is no options for it now but you do it manually or search for a mod that works.

[shut finch]

Wdym exactly

?

[half wadi]

You there?

[alpine coral]

is it possible to change this accent colour?

[alpine coral]

how to fix this?

[shut finch]

You could in the config

[shut finch]

The white theme? You need to get a dark reader extension from Firefox addons

[alpine coral]

i have it

doesnt seem to be fixed

anything else to do?

[shut finch]

Uh?? did you check it thoroughly that it has the right settings? @alpine coral

[shut finch]

Not that the dark reader extension

[alpine coral]

it is on OFF

what settings should i do?

[shut finch]

Turn it on

And check it

[alpine coral]

but i need default websites

not to force dark mode

[crystal epoch]

@half wadi yo! as you suggested, i have installed the theme. You guys have a really awesome theme

So i dug around a bit, and removed some :has

will do a pr in a minute

[half wadi]

@crystal epoch Also bro, for some reason I could not try pseudo bg. Can you make a screen recording and show a summary of all the changes you've made? You can use Google Drive to escape Discord limit.

[crystal epoch]

wdym? about this ?

[half wadi]

I mean I see the CSS changes, but just a quick screen recording of all the changes you did would be nice! 😁

[crystal epoch]

I didn't change anything yet. Just some logic about some selectors. So there are no change in behavior

[half wadi]

What? I mean you did changes for MacOS style buttons from Nebula and compact sidebar pseudo bg appearing in all modes and sides...

[crystal epoch]

Oh wait! you're right! was beginning the record. But realised that in the right side, the background is still on the left

pseudo-bg*

[half wadi]

Yes, I even shared a screenshot of it on GitHub lol.

[hasty scroll]

am i dumb

i guess am not changed the transparent zen mod settings

[half wadi]

Why are you dumb?

Like what is it that's making you call yourself that?

[hasty scroll]

cuz its not works like its supposed

[half wadi]

Join VC.

[crystal epoch]

you did changes for MacOS style buttons from Nebula
Ooh i just understood what you meant. That's not me you're talking about lol. It's another guy @half wadi

[half wadi]

Bro do u see what i msg in voice chat?

[hasty scroll]

best zen theme ever

[shut finch]

Thanks man

[whole nexus]

Is it normal that when using glance, it is completely transparent at first? it's even more obvious on other sites where you don't glance for a few seconds

[half wadi]

Yes, that's how it is supposed to be with latest developments in Glance.

[shut finch]

Hey

There is a issue that when the whole browser is transparent this glance is also transparent whcih is odd and hard to see

we gotta fix that

[half wadi]

What, that isn't the issue tbh. Real issue is that when we press esc to exit glance on a pinned or essential, then on web view new blank tab opens instead of the page from where glance was opened

That's something that has to be fixed.

[shut finch]

This is kinda not the issue the one I told is the real issue I will send you a ss when I am in my pc

[raw hawk]

hi, does anyone know which css element is responsible for animating these buttons? (copy, extension)

[shut finch]

It is just the default zen behavior

[raw hawk]

I know but hiding animation can be made smoother, do not understand what exactly need to change

[shut finch]

Ok we will look into it

[storm temple]

Im using the arc theme and my url bar looks like this for some reason

[storm temple]

nvm im dumb

[shut finch]

Did you find it?

[shut finch]

If you tell it here others if they want to figure it out. They could find it here instead of asking it again

[storm temple]

Oh yeah sorry, so it’s just the option that sets the transparency of the URL bar, usually it’s set to 0 but there’s a disclaimer that says “set to 1…” and you just make it 1

[shut finch]

Hmm

[mighty vortex]

Someone have this problem? my close maximize buttons are empty.

[half wadi]

Idk bro all good for me.

Reinstall theme.

[whole nexus]

what is this? an extension to debug the browser ? so it's easier to apply the css ?

[shut finch]

It is a extension to make websites transparent

[shut finch]

Found the issue man I will work on it

[shut finch]

You didn't check it correctly man

[shut finch]

Just enable this checked one to retain the mac look or else just click disable style for window controls which above the checked box

[half wadi]

Oh, seems like bro has black workspace theme colors

[shut finch]

Transparent also does that man

[granite spire]

Same

[shut finch]

THis is been fixed now guys

[shut finch]

This is fixed man

[granite spire]

Thanks <3

[worthy pagoda]

how do i fix the blurry text in the url bar ?

[shut finch]

Blurry text? @half wadi look into this

[half wadi]

Why are you awake?

[half wadi]

Send a screenshot

[worthy pagoda]

its blurry when i use the arcline url bar setting disabling it the blurryness goes away

[half wadi]

I don't see text blurry here

[worthy pagoda]

heres a side by side

[half wadi]

Uh that URL Background is blurred! Not the text.
It's like that intentionally, use arrow key to focus on other search suggestions in URLBar.

[worthy pagoda]

ohh is it ? is there a settings to lessen the blur

[half wadi]

yes.

#general message

[shut finch]

New updates coming soon

Guys

[sharp vigil]

can we like

control the blur

[shut finch]

Oh I will add it man

[sharp vigil]

make the background more saturated and things

[sharp vigil]

K thanks 🙏

[shut finch]

Wdym by that? Like which bg you are talking about?

[sharp vigil]

wait

like this (from nebula)

@shut finch

and also is there any way to keep the UI text white changing the theme colours

[shut finch]

Any way that could you show it visually?

[shut finch]

I think we will look into it

[sharp vigil]

White**

Opposite of thi s

[shut finch]

Hmm

Ok we will look into it

Too

[sharp vigil]

k thank s

[half wadi]

You'll have to choose colors from Theme menu which does it automatically.

[sharp vigil]

Nah I meant if there was anyway to keep a colour without losing the white UI text

[half wadi]

Remove colour and search for it's hex code.

Apply that on custom color in theme menu

[sharp vigil]

hmm alr thx

[half wadi]

You know how to do it?

[sharp vigil]

the hexcode? yes

the theme menu? not really

[sharp vigil]

@half wadi help 😭

[half wadi]

Wait, lemme screen record and show you.

[shut finch]

Oh ya totally forgot that lol 😅

[sharp vigil]

huh

I dont have that custom colour thing

[sharp vigil]

can we make it yk a little less opaque?

[sharp vigil]

nvm got it

thanks!

[sharp vigil]

help

[half wadi]

set your preferred sidebar size in mod settings lol

keep is ~21 above ig here in this case

[sharp vigil]

oh I did not know that there was a limit

[half wadi]

It depends on your display size and icons on sidebar stuff that's why I can't put a limit on this code to not decrease pseudo bg size.

And use dark mode, better for your eyes.

[dusty locust]

just got arc, is there a way i can disable the sidebar blur or make it more blurry, also remove the blur animation while a new tab loads?

[half wadi]

You get to edit everything in mod settings if you installed the theme via Sine.

[vocal drum]

broken with the new update Version 1.17.7b on macOS

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1302759683882225774/1439689861547163728/image.png?ex=691b6f2b&is=691a1dab&hm=449102a61e09a977d2d2568f1cc96a29f615ca9b3985651916693600cc34598a&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=2024&height=1272

browsing area is forced to the left most corner of the window. surprisingly its fine when you split tabs

[clear jasper]

I had the same issue two days ago.

[half wadi]

Reinstall theme

Which way have you installed it?

[vocal drum]

sine

[half wadi]

Ok, go to chrome > sine-mods > Arc 2.0 > Arc-2. 0 > Chrome CSS > animations.css.

There search for term "switch"

Go to one of the prefs with value 4

Comment it the 4's snippet.

Then restart Zen

And at last reinstall Arc 2.0

[bitter lagoon]

Hey man! How you styled your taskbar to look like this?

[half wadi]

WindowGlass theme on WindHawk.

[chrome trench]

How do I fix this

[half wadi]

How did you install Arc2.0?

Man I replied within 2 mins, yet bro went offline.

[chrome trench]

Dw I just reinstalled it and it’s back to normal i installed through sine

[half wadi]

Yeah, how did you reinstall though?

Did you run Sine installer again?

[chrome trench]

I removed it then reinstalled from the marketplace

[half wadi]

No, like web-view wasn't shrinked on all pages?

How could it be reinstalled?

[chrome trench]

It was but it’s normal when you do split tabs

[half wadi]

Oh, didn't know that. Thanks for telling bro! ✨

[chrome trench]

Yeah no worries

[vocal drum]

I’m sorry

I realized that base zen was fine after all

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-music-monkey-monkey-listening-to-the-music-monkey-chill-vibin-gif-24320967

[vocal drum]

#zeneral message

[half wadi]

Well I am fine taht everything ended well.

Not issue after all 😌

[vocal drum]

i reinstalled arc 2.0 and it works!

thanks!

[scarlet sphinx]

hey, is it possible to have a vertical line dropping from the folder running adjacent to the tabs listed under it. a cherry on top would be if the folder itself could have the exactly same background as the pinned tabs have in superpins mod

something like this but the folder background is exactly same as the tabs

[half wadi]

@shut finch check if it is possible. If yes, then make a pref for the option between transparent and colored bg.

[scarlet sphinx]

something exactly like this

[shut finch]

I will look into it

[half wadi]

Wait, isn't it already like that? Open theme menu and select any color.

[scarlet sphinx]

there is no vertical line along the tabs under the folder

[half wadi]

There is bro, you need to activate that pref in Arc2.0 mod settings.

[scarlet sphinx]

where? do you mind sharing a screenshot please

[half wadi]

Just go to Sine/Cosine mods and click settings icon button under Arc2.0 in Installed Mods section. I am going to sleep rn, so can't share a screenshot.

[woeful plume]

any ideas on how to make the lines around the tab groups disappear? i know that i can do it in the browser console, but it always gets back to this after a restart... using arc 2.0 and advanced tab groups.

[woeful plume]

not happening in dark theme btw.

[half wadi]

Thank you for pointing out this issue. By the time it is resolved, prefer to use Dark mode.

@shut finch Look into this as soon as possible!!!

[woeful plume]

Cheers! Do you know of any way I can make the browser console fix "permanent" until the fix is shipped?

[half wadi]

Hmm not sure. I got a lot of exams so only CompTechGuy can do anything here. And dark mode is better for eyes, so use that. 😉

[shut finch]

I will be looking into it today and for sure it will be fixed before the day ends

I am in USA time btw

[woeful plume]

what a living LEGEND! thanks my guy. 🙏🏿🙏🏻🙏🏽

its been bugging me for ages always going into the console on restart and removing it. hahah

[shut finch]

I am trying to get this 3rror and still can't find it if you dont mind sending the prefs for it?

[woeful plume]

wdym by “the prefs”? but yeah i can once i get to know.

[shut finch]

The settings of arc2.0

[woeful plume]

here:

[sharp vigil]

could we decrease the blur intensity of the browser using arc?

[arctic jewel]

How do I completely disable context menu animation? The animation settings in the mod still don't work.

[half wadi]

Blur intensity on which area?

[half wadi]

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/scl/fi/g4z5l4ec9tmggkrmwrk8v/zen_WyJOPKKy0K.mp4?rlkey=p19t71fnuqh7tjarl7pe7nmkh&dl=0

[shut finch]

Yo sorry and I will be working on it soon

[woeful plume]

you guys got any idea on how to increase the spacing between the folders and the tabs?

as you can see, now the top tab is fucking with the sort button and has uneven spacing inbetween with the folders and the other tabs.

[half wadi]

Not happening for me bro. Must be due to an other CSS or mod. Try in a new profile and tell if you can recreate this error.

[woeful plume]

yeah, i can get it kinda further by turning off the better new tab button, but i cant get it totally in line like you have it, cause i have the clear button turned off and the tidy tabs button hasn't got the right padding set up... 🙁

but thanks for the notes.

[shut finch]

oh You use advanced tab groups? ok I will check that

[shut finch]

I tried to make one and still I don't get it. If you don't mind telling the steps of getting this or take a video of it?

[woeful plume]

just skip to 0:10 sec.

and then to 0:23

[scarlet sphinx]

there is no such option

just so you know, i am not talking about the tab groups. i am talking about the tab folders

[half wadi]

You there right now?

[scarlet sphinx]

Yes

[scarlet sphinx]

yes

[half wadi]

You're in Sine server?

You aren't there it seems.

Lemme DM you the server link

[icy sage]

At the end what happened with that guy, apparently I kinda have the same problem

[half wadi]

Reinstall theme.

[low prawn]

No top bar and side bar in private mod in latest update, anyone encounted this? I've already reinstalled the theme

[shut finch]

If you don't mind sending a screenshot of it?

[low prawn]

So it does look like this initially, if I click compact mode toggle it just disappears, when I hover over the top part nothing opens so I can't close the browser

This is main window, compact mode works ok, top side buttons and bookmarks open ok

[shut finch]

Oh I will look into it just to make sure it is our problem

[scarlet sphinx]

it would be cool to have an option in the pip to attach the pip itself to the media bar. for example, when playing youtube, the media bar can have a small media player attached to it which serves the purpose of the pip but in the sidebar itself. or when attending google meet, the pip can be attached to the sidebar. cool addition, just an idea

[azure haven]

@frozen tartan ^^^

[shut finch]

It is pretty hard because it is kinda another window but I will try my best to check that out

[shut finch]

Why did you ping slowLife for this???

[azure haven]

He's the one that does this

[half wadi]

This needs JS bro, you might've to make a separate mod if you're upto it. If you remember, you haven't even picked up your first JS mod target to make Tab Sorting for Folders.

Well I advice you to look into this asap, i.e., ofc after completing ST5 Vol. 1.

[shut finch]

Hmm

[low prawn]

Seems like it was a Zen problem

[frozen tartan]

I don't think js mod can do this

[half wadi]

It used to do it with tab groups!

fym!?

[frozen tartan]

no

[half wadi]

[woeful plume]

hey, any progress?

it still shows up after updates on my end. :((((

[shut finch]

I can't recreate this error

[woeful plume]

can i get your prefs and mod list then pls pls?

[shut finch]

I can't give you rn I don't have my pc rn

[half wadi]

Try on a new profile?

[woeful plume]

yeah i could, but its probably gonna be one dumb switch away from working just fine, soooo i’d rather not remake everything. does that make sense or am i missing something?

[half wadi]

Just try a new profile.

[woeful plume]

literally the same exact behaviour.

fresh install, new profile, arc 2.0 + advanced tab groups.

the line still appears in the same way in the light theme.

🙁

[half wadi]

Alright man, from now on use Dark Mode. I'll solve it after my exams end.

[woeful plume]

yeaaaah, i dont restart my browser that much anyway, i'll just adjust the browser console on each restart. 🙂 thanks.

i really like light mode tbh. 😄

[shut finch]

I will really try my best to recreate the issue

And send me the advanced tab groups pref too

[shut finch]

Sorry for the long time but I finaly recreated the issue and I will fix it rn

Successfully Fixed it so that you don't get that border color anymore man. ENJOY!!!!! @woeful plume

[vocal drum]

@half wadi do you know where arc 2.0 stores the customizations?

like i want to recover these from my old profile

because there were a bunch of settings i fine tuned

[half wadi]

Just copy and paste prefs.js from your old to new profile and restart Zen.

[vocal drum]

something in the prefs.js breaks the new profile implementation

can i only copy over the arc-* stuff

[half wadi]

yes ofc

[vocal drum]

also @half wadi do you remember how to fix transparency lost when unfocusing zen?

i remember it working before

i have this set to false but its still losing transparency

and i have this in dwm

nvm

i clicked a whole lotta buttings and now it works

idk what i did that fixed it

[half wadi]

Also, update to Beta2 Pre-release of DWM. https://github.com/Maplespe/DWMBlurGlass/releases

[glad sparrow]

  /* Disable UI fadeout on focus lose */
  #navigator-toolbox {
    --inactive-titlebar-opacity: 1 !important;
    opacity: 1 !important;
  }

[vocal drum]

Ooo thanks!

Idk it doesn’t fade-out anymore after I messed around with some settings on dwmblur. maybe this snippet will help on Mac

[half wadi]

@vocal drum You'll need assistance in settings this up, can you join VC?

[vocal drum]

Thanks man but I fixed it

I’m just telling kodzzumba that I fixed it without the css he sent

[half wadi]

I meant setting up DWMGlassBlur Pre-Release 2 version! It's all new layout and stuff.

[vocal drum]

@half wadi what exactly is this?

[half wadi]

Enable it and load any website.

[vocal drum]

oh its that thing at the tp?

do you know how to remove that full-page blur when the site loads?

[shut finch]

There should be a pref that has a drop-down

About animations

[vocal drum]

yeah, there should be 🙂

found it!

[shut finch]

Great

[half wadi]

@shut finch Also, can you look into this small thing - fixing the positioning of this Tools button?

Like there is so much empty space on bar that can be utilized.

[shut finch]

Didn't you fixed it before?

[half wadi]

I just fixed the pseudo bg behind it lol

[shut finch]

oh

[half wadi]

pdf.js file is needed to be configured. And given it's a userContent.css file, live editing won't work.

[shut finch]

I will do that don't worry and live editing doesn't work so you need to use the website inspect

[humble swift]

Oh damn I didn’t know this

[raw wing]

how do i disable the blur when loading pages? it's annoying to me

nvm i found it, "Animations while the website loads" set to "No Animation" (idk if this is a sine mods only feature)

[half wadi]

Yeah well this is a theme feature. It works well on pc with modern specs.

[distant orchid]

same issue, i also installed it via sine , how did you disable it

[half wadi]

Go to mod settings and choose any other animation option for website loading.

[gentle quiver]

ight ngl fellas, this looks pretty clean lol. Good job to whoever is maintaining this mod

[glad valley]

What are you using to get your essentials to look like that?

[gentle quiver]

Super Pins, Better Unloaded Tabs, and Arc 2.0

[glad valley]

what is the setting to get the circle border?

[glad valley]

hmm, mine isn't getting that look with those settings

[gentle quiver]

do you have containers enabled?

itll only show if ure using container tabs

which i am since im on my music/work page

if you arent using container tabs or the default tabs that arent containerized you wont see it

[glad valley]

got it, i see it now, thanks

[gentle quiver]

this is what im talking about

[half wadi]

Thanks for appreciation, bro! Means a lot to me...
Spread word about this theme if you find anyone looking for one. 💖

@gentle quiver Hey also, you've MacOS right? Can you tell if there is any issue with sidebar blur in compact mode?

[gentle quiver]

works fine for me i think

but im also using the Zen Compact Transparent Mode mod from sine

[half wadi]

I mean try on a transparent website

like the chatgpt

you got above

[half wadi]

Yeah turn this off and check if it's all good? i don't have macos, so i gotta check time-to-time.

[gentle quiver]

this is what it looks like with the Zen Compact Transparent mod off

looks liek default zen

[half wadi]

Hmm, I mean get something colorful (like an image), i wanna see if blur works

[gentle quiver]

doesnt look like it does

it works fine on youtube tho

discord works fine too

[half wadi]

Saerch on a website like this

where website bg is transparent

[gentle quiver]

yup looks good

[half wadi]

nice!

idk why one macos user had issues

with blur on transparent website

[gentle quiver]

it doesnt work on chat gpt or claude for some weird reason idk why lol

i guess there has to be heavy content with alot of colors

for the blur and transparency to show

but thats ok, i dont really need it on those websites any ways

[half wadi]

That's because when CSS can't blur sidebar if website bg is transparent - attempting to do so makes the sidebar bg clear (just like how it is on MacOS Tahoe Top Bar).

So to solve this issue

one has to apply pseudo background to sidebar.

That helps in rendering website content color being blurred on sidebar hover.

[low prawn]

Any idea why is there padding/margin when sidebar is on the right side?

[umbral kettle]

does this mod allow to keep the same transparency when you click out of the app ?

mainly for macos

or is that limited to the actual browser

[half wadi]

It's all good for me though...

[half wadi]

For MacOS? Well since I use Windows only, I don't have solution for MacOS. Though I do remember @quiet delta has a solution as he has MacOS - when he comes online, he would share it with you, so keep checking the thread.

[umbral kettle]

i appreciate it, yea i tried zen.view.grey-out-inactive-windows to false but that didnt work

[low prawn]

Yep, I noticed that it's fine on other screenshots, maybe the arcline broke it somehow

[half wadi]

You use Arcline+Arc2.0?

@umbral kettle Just found out it's only possible on Windows. Can't do it on MacOS as it's too much locked down to make that happen.

[umbral kettle]

yea seems like it. i think im going to just remove the transparency all together, im trying to see how to do that with the theme

[half wadi]

There is one thing that can be done though...

[umbral kettle]

ohhhh

[half wadi]

This might help, try it. @umbral kettle

[umbral kettle]

interestingggg

i guess ill have to wait for a fix, i do use zen with other apps in the same window

[half wadi]

You can use 2 apps in a workspace side-by-side in a WM.

[low prawn]

Nope, it had some prefs for sidebar which I changed, so that's my guess

[low prawn]

These 2 lines in sidebar.css breaks it for me, specifically left property, when I comment it, sidebar seems fine, but then when I hover the sidebar, shadow applies like sidebar is on the left side

[shut finch]

Oh we gotta fix that and I will fix it soon

[quiet delta]

Unfotunaterly it is not possible due to how macOS handle windows unless we custom build firefox which I don't even know if still can be done.

I just use a window manager with Zen on a single workspace with no other windows so it works for me 🙂

[gentle quiver]

so sexy bruh

[umbral kettle]

i appreciate the response

[distant orchid]

why the texts are so unreadable on some sites , i only have bonjour +arc 2.0 via sine

[quiet delta]

If the website has a dark theme, enable..
If not, use darkreader or turn off transparency

[distant orchid]

yeah it seems it doesnt have dark theme , how can i use darkreader , turning off transparency didnt help

[half wadi]

Enable dark reader addon for that website.

[gentle quiver]

is it normal for folders to not have a highlight when i hover over them with arc 2.0?

[low prawn]

Can you add preference to put close/minimize/expand buttons on sidebar on windows? Arcline had it, but there were some bugs with that when using sidebar on the right side iirc

[half wadi]

You want buttons on the left or right? Also you want normal Windows controls and not Mac ones?

[low prawn]

I already see MacOS style preference for those buttons
For me, I would like MacOS style on left side when sidebar is on the left and on the right side when sidebar is on the right, but either way works

[half wadi]

You want it to change automatically? Like i don't think that's possible without JS. Well any ways there is a pref in mod settings to do this manually, just a restart is needed for changes to take effect.

[low prawn]

I don't need it to change automatically and ok with restarting the browser. The only preference I see moves buttons to the left side of top/nav? bar, but they're not on the sidebar like on the screenshot I sent

[half wadi]

Send ss of where they are.

Last time I checked (i.e. yesterday) left and right buttons positioning was all good though.

[low prawn]

It's kinda hard to get top and sidebar on the same screenshot, what I mean is on Windows, those buttons are located in their default behavior place, on application window top right side, no issues with that. I just wanted them to be on a sidebar

[half wadi]

Oh I see what you mean now. Will try to fix it ASAP. Also I recommend increasing the pseudo bg size you've entered in for sidebar as the text is visible through the sidebar I see.

[low prawn]

Increasing pseudo bg size actually fixed this error
#1345153916773339217 message
#1345153916773339217 message

[half wadi]

Hmm yeah, actually the size you enter is the size of pseudo bg which then automatically matches the compact sidebar size, but if the size value entered is smaller than the limit of Sidebar to be minimum, then some errors like these occur.

[low prawn]

I had 25em which was default value, now I set 30em (2k monitor with 100% scaling in both windows and browser)

[half wadi]

@shut finch matching pseudo bg side to minimum size of compact sidebar fixes this, so I guess another solution for sizing is needed, or easier is to mention in prefrences.json in brackets to match the size value if text is visible through sidebar in transparent page.

[shut finch]

I will find a way.

[gentle quiver]

nah when my sidebar is on the right, the close/minimize/expand still stays on the left side of the window but only shows up on hover like this

[quiet delta]

Gotta use the darkreader extension, but keep in mind this often breaks overlay elements like dialogs so I recommend to try turning off transparency (the about:config flag) if you don't need it at all in the website

[wheat cipher]

how do i fix this

also when page is loading a blur came out i dont which setting to disable it

[woven bay]

install context menu icons from sine

[wheat cipher]

installed already

[half wadi]

Generally this is fixed after you click right click twice, but if it's not fixing alignment, then ask for help here. https://discord.com/channels/1088172780480114748/1389505423488323615

[wheat cipher]

idk why but restarting zen twice fixed it

[umbral kettle]

i didnt even think of this, i tried to just make the sidebar transparent and adding background mask with blur affect etc like

.zen-browser-generic-background {

  background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.12) !important;      
  background-image: linear-gradient(
351deg, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.45), rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.08)) !important;                                                
  backdrop-filter: blur(20px) saturate(180%) !important;


  }

ill have to see what hack you used

that just made my floating compact sidebar transparent lol

now i figured it out

[civic orchid]

I think this might be because the CMI-config file wasn't loaded correctly. Since I placed all the key variables here for unified management. Occasionally, Sine's performance issues may arise, causing some variables to not load quickly. This issue is also reflected on Nebula. This is not a big problem. I believe that Sine will be able to solve it in the future.

In other operating systems, it is hardly affected. Even if it is affected, simply reopening the context menu will solve the problem. However, on the Linux system, there might still be some issues with incorrect paths, which prevent the CMI from functioning properly. Therefore, if you use Linux, manual installation will be more stable.

https://github.com/Starry-AXQG/Context-Menu-Icons/issues/45

[civic orchid]

@shut finchThis settings window looks like it has been incorrectly set to partially transparent

[half wadi]

It's supposed to be like this.

You don't have DWMGlassBlur?

For Windows.

[civic orchid]

yes

I just installed and used Arc 2.0 simply through Sine.

[half wadi]

Yeah, well you need it (guide has been given to install it in Arc2.0 readme) - https://github.com/Maplespe/DWMBlurGlass
Install latest Beta build.

[civic orchid]

I see

[woven bay]

why is dwmblurglass essential? i dont have it either

[half wadi]

It's not essential until you're facing issues like Starry as in the image shared by him.

[woven bay]

oh alright

[civic orchid]

HI, all users who are using Arc 2.0 and CMI simultaneously:
I've noticed that Arc 2.0 may affect the display of CMI in a few rare scenarios, causing some menu text to be slightly offset by a few pixels. You can simply change this setting from its default state to 28px to resolve this issue.

[scenic nacelle]

Essentials are not looking like in ScreenShots in README, I installed using the traditional way of copying files from ZIP btw

[shut finch]

When did you do it since he got it updated

[scenic nacelle]

Today...

I mean yesterday now

[half wadi]

Reinstall.

[scenic nacelle]

Okk

[woeful plume]

hey fellas, any idea how to make the line inbetween the pinned tabs and the actual tabs thinner and not cut through the sort button?

[woven bay]

i dont have these options in the setting... any reason?

[civic orchid]

Hmm, send a screenshot

[woven bay]

i use zen ui so not sending the fluent one

[scenic nacelle]

Reinstalling the CSS did not work 😭

[half wadi]

Not CSS. Use Sine bro. That's the way you get the latest update .

[scenic nacelle]

Installing Sine is a hassle on Linux

imma still install it anyways 😭

It's working now.. Thanks bro!

[woven bay]

@civic orchid

[civic orchid]

Hmmm，please update CMI

This is the old version of the CMI configuration page. You should uninstall the current version of CMI, then search for and download it again from the Sine store.

@woven bay

[woven bay]

oh alright. thanks

[scenic nacelle]

The right click context menu does not have blur. It's just plain transparent

[half wadi]

Have you updated to the latest version?

[scenic nacelle]

Yup

[half wadi]

On Sine, right?

[scenic nacelle]

Yeah I even reinstalled it

[half wadi]

Oh, well that wasn't needed. Kindly join VC>

[scenic nacelle]

Okkki

[scenic nacelle]

@half wadi The blur is a linux issue. Not DE related

Blur is not being applied in Hyprland either

[half wadi]

Hmm, alright. Thanks for the info! 🙂

[scenic nacelle]

No probs!

[sudden heath]

How do you disable the tint for the sidebar if you installed using Sine?

[half wadi]

What tint? Send a screenshot.

[sudden heath]

Whenever I apply the mod the sidebar get a tint (color gets lighter) is what I mean. Not sure how to fix this issue.

[half wadi]

Yeah, send a screenshot of sidebar from before and after application of Arc2.0.

[half wadi]

Send the list of all the mods you have rn.

[sudden heath]

• Animations Plus (v1.2.2)
• Arc 2.0 (v3.2.9)
• Better Sidebar (v1.1.8)
• Bigger Mute Button (v1.0.3)
• CMI | Improve your context menu by adding icons, folding redundant menu items, and more.
• Download BG (v1.0.0)
• Extensions List (v1.0.1)
• Only Reset On Hover (v1.0.0)
• Private Mode Highlighting (v1.0.5)
• ZenMotion Pro - Zen Browser Animations Pack

[half wadi]

You've to delete Animations Plus, Better Sidebar, Bigger Mute Button, and Only Reset on Hover.

Also, will you like it to look like this?

[sudden heath]

I'd rather it not be transparent.

[half wadi]

Okay, did you delete the stuff I mentioned?

[sudden heath]

yup

[half wadi]

Ok, now you got to install https://zen-browser.app/mods/642854b5-88b4-4c40-b256-e035532109df/?q=transparent. Ik you don't want transparency, but this will help to achieve exactly what you want.

[sudden heath]

Installed, still having the sidebar colour issue.

[half wadi]

You need to set your preferred color here.

Either in HEX, or in RGB format.

[sudden heath]

Still having the issue.

[half wadi]

That must not be the case. I'm busy rn will contact about it later.

[sudden heath]

alr thx

[shut finch]

Yo, i think equinox forgot that I added a option that helps to retain the color of your workspace in the tint

just go through the settings of arc and you will find that there are number to set

if you make it 0 it will be transparent for sure

@sudden heath

[sudden heath]

What setting do I edit and what should I change it to?

[shut finch]

to 0 and I will check which setting it is

[shut finch]

here change density in compact sidebar to 0

@sudden heath

[sudden heath]

unfortunatly, still having the issue with the sidebar.

[shut finch]

What?

[sudden heath]

It still won't match the color of my theme.

[shut finch]

what? send a ss?

[sudden heath]

Still won't match the green

The green's dont match.

@shut finch ?

[shut finch]

I have no clue what is messing up

[sudden heath]

alr thx anyways

[shut finch]

Did you turn it off to make sure

[sudden heath]

yes

only happends when I turn the mod on

[shut finch]

What interesting

I will let you know if I figured it out

[half wadi]

Hey, you there rn?

I figured it out.

[half wadi]

You need to turn off pseudo background in mod settings. @shut finch this will resolve it.

[shut finch]

Let's join the vc when I am home and free to fix or if you did it then great

[half wadi]

What's there to fix here? Like isn't it pseudo bg doing it's job?

[shut finch]

Maybe

I still didn't get it like what you mean

[half wadi]

The job of pseudo BG is to create a background so that side bar is transparent Blur even if website BG is transparent Blur.

This effect is the reason this user is not able to get the exact colour he has selected in the colour theme menu.

[shut finch]

Hmm

Interesting

[half wadi]

Bro I am a noob with CSS, why I am the one here explaining this to you? 😭

[shut finch]

Because I am not locked in the css and right now class

[half wadi]

Nerd🥸

[sudden heath]

Still not fixing the issue 🙁

[half wadi]

At what time you're going to be free? I need you on VC.

[sudden heath]

avail rn but dont got a mic

[half wadi]

That's alright

Join rn.

@sudden heath You there?

[sudden heath]

[half wadi]

Ok, I'm on now.

Aree you in Sine server?

[sudden heath]

[half wadi]

Ok lemme dm invite link to you

[sudden heath]

k

[fresh mango]

hi guys, i just installed the theme via sine on macos. However i am unable to get the workspace color from the repository page as I can only add 3 colors at most. is this a known issue?

[half wadi]

Zen only allows 3 colors to be added max.

[fresh mango]

thanks, so am i right to say currently theres no way to accomplish the same color scheme as what was in the github repo?

[sharp vigil]

hey-o, I dont think i have an option to close a tab group

you know a way i could do it

[half wadi]

Which colour scheme are you talking about ? Send a ss.

[sharp vigil]

righy clicking also doesnt show any options

this one

[sharp vigil]

[half wadi]

Yes, you just need to ctrl+select the tabs in the group, then right click to context menu and click move tabs to end/start.

[sharp vigil]

ohh, thanks

[gilded belfry]

I have made a mistake in the settings. Whenever I install this mod, Zen Browser won't load. How can I reset the preferences file?

[gilded belfry]

should I update to sine 2.3c?

[half wadi]

Yup

[gilded belfry]

it breaks arc 2.0 for me actually

[half wadi]

Reinstall it then.

[gilded belfry]

i did

[half wadi]

Doesn't break for me.

[gilded belfry]

had to downgrade

really?

even if you restart the browser? @half wadi

[half wadi]

Yes.
How did you upgrade?

[gilded belfry]

it was an auto update

how should I update?

im on windows arm btw

[half wadi]

Ig try the installer

[gilded belfry]

i did

are you on windows?

[half wadi]

Yes, Windows x64. Why not try on a new profile?

If it still doesn't work, then report it in Sine server.

[gilded belfry]

i opened a case on girhub

[half wadi]

Still you'll get a better support on Sine servr.

[gilded belfry]

you bet im already there

thank you

[half wadi]

🆗

[mossy tusk]

he is 32 yo unc btw

[humble swift]

@half wadi ppl having issues with sine 2.3c? Like zen running in the bg but not showing up on screen

Or it is some wireframe issue somehow

[half wadi]

I myself was having issues in v1.18.1b, but it was fixed in v1.18.2b.

[humble swift]

Check wireframe thread

He’s on 1.18.2

And same issue

[scarlet sphinx]

is there any way to make the tab folders have individual backgrounds for every single tab under the folder. the folder container should have a separate background and the tabs under it also have separate ones

[half wadi]

Will look into it.

[shut finch]

Oh you mean the white tint background behind it??

Change it to other colors???

[scarlet sphinx]

Na. I want the tint to be limited to the folder and the tabs containers individually. Not as a whole

I think nebula has this.

But it doesn't have the vertical line

[shut finch]

If you draw it so that I could understand it clearly

[scarlet sphinx]

The folder bg should be the same tint as the folder

[half wadi]

Oh I get what you mean now, unfortunately I tried doing it,but it broke tab visuals when dragged, so it can't be done.

[scarlet sphinx]

Aww. I see. Thanks anyways tho. Arc is really great

[gentle quiver]

Hi, so Im using the arc tab group feature and noticed that the folder icon isn't aligned properly. Is this just me or is this known?

Collapsed

Expanded

[half wadi]

Yup that's something that can't be fixed because positioning of icon there isn't dynamic. It has to stay fixed.

[hot depot]

sine recentely updated to v2.3.0, the arc 2.0 mod doesn't seem to load in after the update and just shows a blank blur, I have to remove the arc 2.0 folder from the chrome\sine-mods directory for the zen ui to load in. will i just have to wait for the mod to be updated or is there some settings i can change that will fix the issue?

[half wadi]

Create a new profile and check if the issue persists as this didn't happen to me.

[hot depot]

yea, a new profile fixes the issue, i think theres a specific setting causing the issue

[hot depot]

yeah, found the issue, when you set your font to SF Pro, it makes the text invisible, upon restart, you get nothing showing

[half wadi]

Oh @shut finch why is this happening?

Fix it ASAP!!!

[hot depot]

havent tested on other fonts, could be a issue with just SF or all non-default fonts
also the invisible text is just there for a sec, then renders in

[scenic meteor]

how you remove the line from sidebar and inner window?

[half wadi]

Do this.

[proven shale]

@half wadi The url bar at bottom left of the browser is shown blank like this if website appearance is set to light. Changing to dark solves the issue but I don't really use dark mode. Any chance you can fix this?

[half wadi]

Install disable status bar mod in Zen mod store

Like just search status bar there

And install the one that removes it

[proven shale]

Thanks but I would like to keep the status bar😂

[half wadi]

Ok, ping when you reply.

Lemme try to fix it.

[proven shale]

Thanks a lot!

[whole nexus]

the current workspace icon is misaligned...

[half wadi]

It's supposed to look like that, you know, to make it look distinct from other being not property alligned from bottom and only aligned with top.

Though idk why book appears more down...

[whole nexus]

alternatively you could make it round but with color? I admit that I found it to be a bug at the beginning

[half wadi]

Lemme see what can be done now it's quite complex scenario.

[half wadi]

Fixed.

[proven shale]

Thanks, I have not seen it reflected, maybe need some time for the mod to update. Will report back if anything.

[half wadi]

What? I'll have to check...

[half wadi]

Check now

[proven shale]

Re-install the mod and now it works fine! Thanks!

[analog grove]

yo is there a way to change the highlight color in the search bar?

[half wadi]

Are you there rn?

[half wadi]

It isn't supposed to white, but it is

[half wadi]

@analog grove reinstall theme, it's fixed.

[analog grove]

Tysm 🤓

[grand magnet]

@half wadi brother why is arc 2.0 causing this weird free space at bottom

bruh

i was thinking of using arc2.0

[half wadi]

What?

[grand magnet]

i know why its happening

i just dont want it to happen

also why does split view tabs show a line at the left side

[half wadi]

Idk wdym.

I can't recreate it.

[grand magnet]

yes because you have pinned extensions

thats what causes it

the pinned extensions code uses a height calc to make space for pinned extensions area

or atleast thats what used to happen in nebula

[half wadi]

Yeah, but I'm using pinned extensions, and its still good for me.

[grand magnet]

but zen already has implimented pinned extensions now

[grand magnet]

yes because you have extensions pinned, but those who dont will have this space at the bottom

[half wadi]

I mean it says in settings to disable it if you're not using it.

[grand magnet]

where is the setting

lmao

so many settings i cant find the one for pinned extensions

also why does arc2.0 has pinned extensions mod? zen added this feature a while ago

[half wadi]

Wdym.

[grand magnet]

add one more extension

[half wadi]

Nope.

[grand magnet]

cheff added this

(default zen btw)

[grand magnet]

then add one more

keep adding

[half wadi]

Send a vid of you adding this.

[grand magnet]

alr

[half wadi]

This has to be a MacOS specific shit. I added 6-7 addons and yet it aint working blud.

[grand magnet]

i am on windows bro

zen does not work on my macos installation

[half wadi]

Yeah, seems like Windows specific thing then.

Doesn't work on Arch for me.

[grand magnet]

no its not

[grand magnet]

oh wait

its twilight only

[half wadi]

[half wadi]

Because when you hover on Arc2.0 ones, the hover effect is better.

Like look for yourself by enabling it as I wanna see if it still works in Twilight @grand magnet

[grand magnet]

yeah i get it now, the twilight version is very buggy

like

a lot

it messes the sidebar

[half wadi]

Nice, now is Arc2.0 compact sidebar pseudo bg or pinned extensions affected by this?

Given this new native feature has no toggle in Settings I presume.

[half wadi]

@humble echo So did you fix the compact sidebar size issue?

[humble echo]

how do i do so? im in about:config but now where?

btw is there a better theme then Arc 2.0?

[half wadi]

Feature-wise there are, but then they tax a lot on browser performance.

You'll get to try 'em all once you'll get Sine running.

[humble echo]

ok

how do i make my browser faster?, when i open like the side bar in compact mode it's like 10fps

and how do i change the settings of arc 2.0 in config?

[half wadi]

You're in Sine server, right? Join VC there, I'll just show you what to do for now.

[half wadi]

@humble echo Ok, so first of all I think you need to download theme files this way.

[humble echo]

huh

how is your github transparent?

[humble echo]

Done

then?

[half wadi]

CSS.

[humble echo]

ok, i want that too

anyway next?

[half wadi]

Go to about:config and set browser.tabs.allow_transparent_browser to true.

Then download this addon - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/zen-internet/

[humble echo]

done

how do i remove that blur (appears for like 5 seconds) whenever opening a new tab?

how do i change the width of the sidebar in compact mode?

[half wadi]

For compact sidebar, in about:config, add this arc-compact-sidebar-size as a number pref and set its value to 20em.

[humble echo]

"20em"? i can't add the "em" it says number only

@half wadi

[half wadi]

Oh, then add it as string

[humble echo]

but still it's width is not changing

am i supposed to restart zen?

[half wadi]

Yes.

@humble echo working?

[humble echo]

no

i even changed it to 10em and restarted but still isn't working

[half wadi]

Damn ig I've forgotten how this system even works.
Lemme boot into windows and resume in VC.

[heady cypress]

Hey guys, I'm trying to set up arc 2.0 but I can't get the transparency to work

[half wadi]

Which os?

10 or 11?

[heady cypress]

11

[half wadi]

Then just follow Arc2.0 readme.md

In GitHub.

[heady cypress]

yeah i did but this is what it looks like rn

[half wadi]

Join Sine server, there I'll tell you more what to do.

Invite dm'ed to you.

[heady cypress]

ok

[stuck bane]

awesome theme, thanks

[half wadi]

Welcome! Glad to hear such good comments! Also don't forget to star the theme on GitHub (if you have an account there) 😉

[stuck bane]

done

[half wadi]

@stuck bane why did you send your mails screenshot?

[stuck bane]

I have a problem with the font color on some pages. I have a light background, but the font appears white. I didn’t have this behavior before applying the theme. I deleted the post to check if I could change this in the configuration before asking 🙂

[half wadi]

You need to open theme menu and select the moon icon.

[stuck bane]

thanks, tried but persist the problem (change between dark and light mode several times), also, google looks like this 🤔

[mossy tusk]

do u use raycast ??

are u on windows??

[stuck bane]

no

[stuck bane]

garuda linux

[half wadi]

Hey you there rn?

I went to sleep.

[stuck bane]

While touching the configuration options, I discovered that the Zen transparency mod is causing the visual issue

thanks for the help

[low prawn]

Removing all colors from picker fixed it for me

[analog grove]

how do i make it so that the side panel doenst block the pdf

like moving it all the way to the left

[half wadi]

I'll try to fix it asap; these days busy asf with college assignments and exams.

[half wadi]

@shut finch Can you please help with fixing this? Just have to adjust positioning and add blur.

[shut finch]

Oh can I work on it in the weekend?

[half wadi]

@shut finch So will you look into it today?

[shut finch]

Yes I am 😁

@half wadi

[half wadi]

[shut finch]

Ok then gn

See you tmrw

[half wadi]

Ok

[shut finch]

Bro @half wadi What a heck is this

I have no clue how to solve this

I tried every single method and can't solve it

This page thing is bounded to the topbar by firefox which makes it really hard to get it away

and I tried every single and can't solve it

we gotta do it together

[half wadi]

Oh, well I tried and couldn't find a solution, that's why I asked you!
There has to be a way though...

[shut finch]

lets work together

[half wadi]

Hmm, I'll come online in ~15-20 mins

[shut finch]

I will get up soon tmrw

Instead

[half wadi]

Ok, wake at 5

Am

[shut finch]

Ok

[shut finch]

I tried but I could only wake up now

[half wadi]

Hello.

[civic orchid]

I want to know why Arc 2.0 recently inverted the color of the sound icon. We should make the icon appear black in light mode and white in dark mode to ensure visual visibility.

[quiet plover]

oh I couldn't even see what you meant till I leaned forward and looked 😭 point has been made

[half wadi]

Can you come online rn?

@civic orchid https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/scl/fi/p4j6mcxo8xvyuglmxz9n6/explorer_uI4ze4BTd7.mp4?rlkey=lx1wf3gl922aj2b1soimfaumn&dl=0

Idk why I can't reporduce it.

I've latest updates with Arc.

Try reinstalling theme.

Or a new profile.

[iron mural]

hey

ive been trying to use compact side bar

and ive set a width in the settings

but everytime i restart zen

the sidebar gets streched

is there any way to fix this?

[half wadi]

Is same happening on other profile?

Because for me it's all good

[iron mural]

i havent tried it on other profiles

how do i set up a different profile exactly?

[half wadi]

Ping when you reply.

Go to about:profiles

Then click on Create New Profile.

[civic orchid]

I don't know how to explain the phenomenon I encountered, anyway I can't reproduce it accurately. Now the icon of Arc2.0 can change colors normally in the browser's light/dark mode switching, which wasn't the case a while ago. It's worth mentioning that when I tested and found that Arc2.0 had a fault in this regard, Nebula was normal. The current phenomenon is the opposite now; Arc2.0 works properly, but Nebula has the issue on my device. This is really strange.

🧐

[half wadi]

Seems like Nubulu is hating on Arc2.0 and trying to alter it.

Arc2.0 didn't like it and reverse genjutsu whatever it was tryna do to Arc2.0.

Thus, enemy's threat has been successfully neutralized.

[civic orchid]

hmm, that's fun

[half wadi]

[woven bay]

does the transparency on arc2.0 work on macos the same as windows?

[half wadi]

Yes, though can't control blur radius, but transparency is there.

[iron mural]

oh im sorry i wasnt aware

[iron mural]

oh but i lose all my bookmarks and the mods i installed too right?

[half wadi]

Nope, not if you've Mozilla Account and synced turned on.

[half wadi]

Also, about that pfp; Messi >>> Ronaldo.

[iron mural]

ohh right i forgot about that🤦‍♂️
what about the mods tho? Ill have to reinstall those yeah?

[iron mural]

im a neymar fan😎
i set this pfp like 3 or 4 yrs ago thinking it was funny and never went about to change it lol

[half wadi]

You need to copy the chrome folder in your new profile, and paste it into your new profile to sync that as well.
