https://github.com/JustAdumbPrsn/Zen-Nebula/issues/229

[faint wave]

did you get issue ? xd well i have uninstalled waiting for update 🙂

[strong cedar]

no i cant get those artifacts at all

[white totem]

alr done tyy

[strong cedar]

yeah the webpage behind urlbar still is active

[whole cedar]

@strong cedar Reinstalled zen just now
Is there any way to make this tint a bit lighter?

dammit this wasnt there a min ago

which snippet?

[strong cedar]

thats very dark wtf

[strong cedar]

BROO

HOW

ARE

YALL

HAVING THIS ISSUE

i cant replicate it at all

[strong cedar]

go to nebula-config.css and edit the nebula-ui-tint to something lighter

[strong cedar]

https://github.com/JustAdumbPrsn/Zen-Nebula/issues/231

oh wait holy shit

@whole cedar looks like

mica4everyone is causing this

i just created a new profile without any mods or anything and even the startup thing has this artifacting

[whole cedar]

I was thinking this same ngl

New profile worked

with mica

[strong cedar]

my current profile has no such issue

[whole cedar]

no wait id dint enable mica after resintalling

[strong cedar]

but if i create a new one with mica4everyone, it shows this issue

[strong cedar]

so why is this transparent

[whole cedar]

YEP

its mica

[strong cedar]

but

but

[whole cedar]

even with just removing the process rule the artifact goes away

[whole cedar]

not sure, weird stuff happening with the status bars too

i just disabled those

[strong cedar]

hmm

time to switch to dwmblurglass

if that would work

pretty sure mica4everyone is not maintained

[whole cedar]

20%

[strong cedar]

i just use the defaults in config and mine doesnt really look that dark ig

[whole cedar]

ill try rn

[strong cedar]

same

[dim sage]

Dwmblurrglass is so cool ngl

[whole cedar]

..last release march

[strong cedar]

if it works then not really a problem

wait

mica4everyone got updated on jul 30

[whole cedar]

yes

[whole cedar]

lmk if you find how to use it for zen
ill figure this darkness out

[strong cedar]

@flint nacelle

how to use dwmblurglass

for zen

[whole cedar]

😭

[dim sage]

Put the dwm folder one the system: C/program files, and then run the exe

[whole cedar]

2 ques
there was a flag to change this gap in the configs right?

[whole cedar]

thats it?

[strong cedar]

yeah

[whole cedar]

you remember?

[strong cedar]

idr

do you wanna remove it

then just use the nogaps option in nebula

[dim sage]

Download the symbol, then install

[strong cedar]

ok then

[whole cedar]

it is on, i use multiple toolbars

[whole cedar]

got it

[strong cedar]

ohh thats why

[whole cedar]

yeee

idk how you guys use single toolbar xd

[strong cedar]

single toolbar goated

i hated it at first

but now im too used to it

[whole cedar]

it feels very

one sided

or unbalanced

dwm!!

[dim sage]

Heck yeah

[flint nacelle]

Bro, you reinstalled Windows 11?

[whole cedar]

alr time to change wappaper

[flint nacelle]

What is wappaper?

[whole cedar]

wallpaper*

new keyboard 😭

[strong cedar]

yea like a month ago

[strong cedar]

mine aint working
also that fixed the issue right? amazing

[strong cedar]

wappaper

[whole cedar]

what did you do

[strong cedar]

i put the dwmblurglass folder in c:, program files and ran it

i messed with settings to try to get it to work but it doesnt work idk

[whole cedar]

You need to download the symbols first

it takes a lil bit

and then install

[whole cedar]

weird

[strong cedar]

ok i reinstalled dwm and looks like its downloading symbol files now

[whole cedar]

yepp

and then disable aero

[strong cedar]

well

it does say valid now

but

if i click download the button doesnt click

alr it worked finally

[whole cedar]

perfect

[strong cedar]

does seem to work

[flint nacelle]

Bruh use my config.ini in arc2.0 readme.md.

[strong cedar]

yeah send send

[flint nacelle]

You have Sine right?

?

[strong cedar]

yeah

[flint nacelle]

Disable Nubulu and install arc2.0. Then click on the GitHub icon there.

[strong cedar]

why tho

i made the dwm.ini

[flint nacelle]

Scroll down a bit and you'll see it

[latent pagoda]

Ive got it as well

[flint nacelle]

I need you to try my theme at the same time

[strong cedar]

fixed

mica4everyone is causing it

dwmblurglass works without this bug

[strong cedar]

oh lol

[latent pagoda]

Aaaah. Ofc. Mica fucked one of my personal projects aswell recently

[strong cedar]

damn

i was just making a new profile to test this issue and even without mods i had the artifacting

[flint nacelle]

L MFE.
W DWM🗿

[strong cedar]

so i realised that mfe is causing it

and then i disabled mfe and everything worked fine

then i tried dwmblurglass and it works

[latent pagoda]

I am dualbooting Just windows being windows ig

[latent pagoda]

Wait dmw works on windows??

[flint nacelle]

Not

[strong cedar]

dwmblurglass

https://github.com/Maplespe/DWMBlurGlass?tab=readme-ov-file

[latent pagoda]

Didnt know. Never tested haha

[strong cedar]

you can adjust blur and stuff

[flint nacelle]

Not Windows fault. Use 2 separate SSD for dual boot. @latent pagoda

[latent pagoda]

Am on laptop ._.

[flint nacelle]

Use external ssd

[flint nacelle]

How is it? My config and my theme?

[latent pagoda]

Just got a 4TB SSD for it though

[strong cedar]

idk abt theme but config looks exactly like default zen acrylic option

[latent pagoda]

Might set up another image of Arch btw

[flint nacelle]

You need to know something about the theme and default Zen Acrylic has a lot less blur radius than my config

[strong cedar]

let me try arc2.0

cuz im bored

[latent pagoda]

Dmw work like mica btw when it comes to tweaking all programs? (Where you can add programs to the list)

[strong cedar]

btw

bro

i forgot what code i had for sf pro on my zen profile

i was wondering why my text looks weird and realised that sf pro is no longer installed cuz i reinstalled windows

[flint nacelle]

Except setting it up separately for every program, it's universal.

[strong cedar]

i cant find an option for setting up for each program

it looks like its all over windows

[latent pagoda]

Guess ill use mica and dmw

[flint nacelle]

Copy from my theme.

[strong cedar]

send codd

code

[latent pagoda]

[flint nacelle]

I'm not with pc rn

[strong cedar]

do u remember where it is located

[latent pagoda]

Nice shades btw @strong cedar

Didnt realize until now

[flint nacelle]

Every file is distinct as per the feature it exhibits in arc2.0 folder.

[strong cedar]

thanks

[flint nacelle]

Won't be very hard to find

[strong cedar]

got em straight out of cringe minecraft vids

[strong cedar]

broo

[flint nacelle]

Yes?

[strong cedar]

oh i like the fact its a pref

WTF WE CAN SET PREF TO TRUE OR SOMETHING BY DEFAULT USING CSS>

???

wtf

[flint nacelle]

Yes, it's for Linux users who don't have blur working by default.

[latent pagoda]

Prefs for the win. Fixed PiP corners aswell

[strong cedar]

no but wait if i make a custom pref, and add ,true in the code so if the css is working the pref will be enabled by default?

[flint nacelle]

When did that thing got unfixed

[strong cedar]

i was literally looking for that shi 4 months ago 😭 would have saved hell lot of time and made my code more optimized

[strong cedar]

yeah that was like the longest going issue since the pip was taken straight from natsumi

[latent pagoda]

Long long time ago, in a galaxy far away

But dk if everyone had the issue

[flint nacelle]

Whenever I update my theme, I aim to introduce as many new prefs as possible. This was brought in v3.2.6 when I got the idea to optimize the theme by making clipping shit a pref.

[strong cedar]

i still cant find the font code

i searched through all modules

nvm i made it work

:root {
  font-family: "SF Pro" !important;
}

[drifting mica]

yeah finally we can import font with sine

[flint nacelle]

root

[strong cedar]

whts the issue

[strong cedar]

cleann

[flint nacelle]

How is it?

[strong cedar]

it aint applying

[strong cedar]

looks like default zen

[flint nacelle]

https://tenor.com/view/skeleton-gif-13148928981517710530

Bruh.

Update your Sine. Go to Sine repo and get v2.2. @strong cedar

Good thing I asked.

Or else bro would've thought my theme is default Zen.

[strong cedar]

finally worked

damn everything so bouncy

[flint nacelle]

I got a type... yk?

[strong cedar]

yeah i can see

[flint nacelle]

Even my girl...

Iykyk.

[strong cedar]

also why is urlbar like this (dw the alignment is fine thats just the screenshot

i loved the old arc urlbar

[flint nacelle]

This was in v3.2.7 to make theme more glassmorphic. For original Arc2.0 URLBar, enable it in mod settings.

[strong cedar]

yeah that looks nicee

[flint nacelle]

Did you try everything? How is it?

[strong cedar]

idk what everything is but i just messed with some settings

and

it is indeed quite bouncy

[flint nacelle]

Hmm, seems like you'll be using this theme more than Nubulu now.

[strong cedar]

sure

[wispy tangle]

What about these black boxes appearing when hovering over something when url bar is opened?

[lilac rampart]

Outdated mica4everyone

[strong cedar]

that is because of mica4everyone

m4e is causing issues right now

so i suggest using dwmblurglass instead

[flint nacelle]

Update Nubulu readme.md.

[latent pagoda]

[faint wave]

dont you think new zen update is causing this? im not having any issue on other apps with mica 4 everyone

[latent pagoda]

I have problems with m4e in another program. Likely something to do with windows updates. Found some information about KernalBase.ddl issues, witch Mica uses

but may be a mix of that and zen update/either

[faint wave]

ohh so its mica for everyones fault ig

[latent pagoda]

May be, but at same time had the issue earlier too, so likely to be zen fault too. Never know. So much could be the error, especially when it comesto .ddl tweaks

Thats why imma try DMWblurglass later today

[faint wave]

did u update mica4everyone?

just released today

2.0.5

[latent pagoda]

Haven't no. Whats new/fixed issue?

Aaaaaah finally they fixed the open as admin on startup issue (Edit: nvmd, they just comformed its an issue )

[wispy tangle]

But Im not using Mica for everyone . . .

:D

Ditched it few years ago after some Rectify11 issues (that completely broke my PC at that time)

About transparency
I think it was less transparent and more consistent between different pages. When now it is more transparent on some pages and completely not at others. Transparent on yt (shown in screencap) and solid on blank page for example

[strong cedar]

new firefox version + mica4everyone is the problem

and since we cant mess with firefox updates, but we can use dwmblurglass instead of mica4everyone

dwmblurglass has no such issue and also has adjustable tint and blur

[strong cedar]

what are you using then

[strong cedar]

no thats intentional

if background website itself is transparent then urlbar is filled with a layer to not cause text spill

[strong cedar]

like here for example if background is transparent, you may be able to read the text of the website behind the urlbar which makes readblity bad so urlbar adds a layer which also blurs the stuff behind it

[wispy tangle]

Just nothing

[strong cedar]

ehhhhhh

[wispy tangle]

Ah, okay

[wispy tangle]

Yeah, I also tested few other mods with similar url customization and didn't encounter that issue in few hours of usage

[strong cedar]

weird af since i only encountered it with mica4everyone and that too without nebula just default zen

[wispy tangle]

And its 100% not mod conflict (tested with every mod off exept Nebula)

[wispy tangle]

Has it always been like this?
I've never noticed this before tbh :D

[strong cedar]

wait ok as a last try can you go to general-ui.css file and delete this part ```css
/* Ensure blur rendering works */
browser {
will-change: transform !important;
}

#main-window {
will-change: transform !important;
}```

[strong cedar]

not always since it was not able to be made using css so i added it in v3.1 when i introduced js

[wispy tangle]

Nope :(

[strong cedar]

shii

[wispy tangle]

Black rectangles still there

[strong cedar]

uhm

wait

go to chrome > JS > and delete Nebula.uc.js

ill kms if that fixes it

[wispy tangle]

And no again

[strong cedar]

wtfff

[lilac rampart]

this is crazy for performance btw

[wispy tangle]

And now sidebar is fully transparent

Ehhhh

[strong cedar]

it is not required on windows and macos but is there an alternative for linux since linux version does not work at all without something like this 😭

[lilac rampart]

mhm

[strong cedar]

any alternative if it works and is better then ill gladly replace this

[lilac rampart]

it still tanks performance lol

and it is required on all OSs

[strong cedar]

mhm for me it does not effect the visuals

but i keep it because there are so many issues opened abt blur not rendering on linux

[lilac rampart]

its a specific path to follow

[wispy tangle]

Its happening in Arc 2.0 too D:
Ig I got lucky when first try went without any issues

[strong cedar]

hmm arc2.0 does have similar code so i guess thats why

[wispy tangle]

OMG its dying even more on some other video content pages

[strong cedar]

wtffffff 😭

why dont i get any such issue

[wispy tangle]

Idk . . .

[strong cedar]

dont think my zen setup is any different from you guys
since i also use nebula with sine

well at last you could just try this v3.2 files if it helps idk since it has bug fixes

[wispy tangle]

Could it (for some reason) be conflict with extentions?

Maybe

[strong cedar]

no since the people who made github issues about this said they went as far as to disable extensions

and it didnt work

[wispy tangle]

I see

[strong cedar]

https://github.com/JustAdumbPrsn/Zen-Nebula/issues/231

[wispy tangle]

One sec, I'll try

[dim sage]

Update when 💀

[wispy tangle]

Still the same

Thats insane

Its giving rectangles but not breaking sites completly

[wispy tangle]

This issue is solved

[strong cedar]

i could just release it but i wanna fix 2 major things rn

[strong cedar]

how

[dim sage]

Alr, no rush. Please take your time ❤️

[strong cedar]

its just sitting there for 2 months lmao

i just dont know how to fix the contrast 0 js thing

and this rectangle thing

[flint nacelle]

Bro I tested and it's fine for me. I use DWM for transparency.

[wispy tangle]

Is there a way to disable ability to select content on the page when url is ipened?

[strong cedar]

rogue does not use mfe or dwm at al

all*

[strong cedar]

i mean yeah

i can give a small code for it if you want

[flint nacelle]

R0gue, use DWM and then tell if it still happens.

@wispy tangle

[wispy tangle]

Ok I'll try, but don't think it is going to make a difference tbh

[strong cedar]

true

[wispy tangle]

That would be nice :)

[dim sage]

I personally think your zen is somehow cursed 😭

[flint nacelle]

Alright, I disabled DWM and it does happen a lil bit for me; but I found a workaround for it bro.

[strong cedar]

but this is happening to 7 others

[wispy tangle]

True xD

Maybe me, not even Zen

[wispy tangle]

Still happens (as expected)

[strong cedar]

i can troubleshoot the artifacting but idk how to replicate it

[wispy tangle]

Enabling transparent zen extension?

[flint nacelle]

Bro, Ig just get DWM...

[wispy tangle]

More info:
It happens only on default url bar animation style

[strong cedar]

OH THANKS

ok let me test

finally a clue

YES

happening to me now

thanksss bro

i use the heavier option so i had no issue with this

[wispy tangle]

Oh!

Yay

[wispy tangle]

Ah, I found out what threw me off with transparency. Your url bar has blur, mine does not at all

[strong cedar]

wdym 😭

[wispy tangle]

Idk why this happened either (blur disappearance)

[strong cedar]

it has blur since day 1

[wispy tangle]

Yeah, thats true

But like

its not?

[strong cedar]

thats...

[wispy tangle]

or am i tripping

[strong cedar]

oh ye ik why that is happening

relax

i already fixed it will drop tmrw

[wispy tangle]

Okie

Thanks <3

[dim sage]

Yeay new updt tmrw

[strong cedar]

new zen update changed a bit of urlbar background which causes previous code to not work so yesterday i fixed it by setting it to current one

[strong cedar]

yeah since now i know the rectangle issue cause

[hearty rapids]

downloaded dwmblur and my zen turned black

black background

[strong cedar]

you would need to adjust its color

[hearty rapids]

acryllic works with dwm, but mica makes it all go black

[strong cedar]

mhm

[hearty rapids]

i cant click dark mode colors either

what do your advanced settings look like?

[hearty rapids]

kk it works ty

i think i like how mica looks more but if dwm is necessary ill use it

[strong cedar]

idt its necessary now

the rectangle bug seems to be from the default urlbar animation

trying to fix it rn

[strong cedar]

@wispy tangle

[flint nacelle]

This has it fixed?

[strong cedar]

probably

i tried 100 times

not a single artifact with this one

but i am having tons in previous code

[flint nacelle]

100?

[strong cedar]

yeah

[flint nacelle]

Also in next version, include some font like Suse, Roboto, Nunito or SF Pro.

[strong cedar]

idts

hardcoding font is a bad idea

[flint nacelle]

Not hardcoding!

[strong cedar]

then

even with pref

[flint nacelle]

Just like Arc 2.0 got prefs for it, yes...

[strong cedar]

its just one extra step for something they probably use like the font changer mod or stuff

[flint nacelle]

Hmm, well it's you only who wanted to include as many mods feature in theme as possible...

[flint nacelle]

I tried and sometimes font changer mod doesn't work. Has some consistency issue.

[strong cedar]

yeah i will add smth when i get the time and motivation to do so lmao

[flint nacelle]

How much time you got rn to release v3.2?

[strong cedar]

v3.2 is basically done its been done for 2 months

i just want rogue to test the new file if he can for artifacts

if they still happen ill kms

[flint nacelle]

@strong cedar You there?

Well when you're there, just had to confirm that it works.

W OpenAI.

[strong cedar]

hi

[strong cedar]

what works

[flint nacelle]

The new zip file you shared.

Artifacts got resolved.

[strong cedar]

i didnt use ai for that

i just deleted that code and edited a different part to work in same way

[flint nacelle]

What!
Remove dumb from your username rn.

[strong cedar]

i use ai for js

but i dont have more js stuff to add

[shut flax]

what is it?

[flint nacelle]

Whatever it is, Nubulu doesn't do it.

Check on new profile.

[strong cedar]

it does wait

[strong cedar]

PERFECT

BRO

can you please

[strong cedar]

go to chrome folder
then there will be a sine-mods folder, go there and replace your current nebula folder with this @shut flax

[shut flax]

ok

[strong cedar]

if it works then let me know

[shut flax]

it works 🙂

[strong cedar]

FINALLY

amazing

[shut flax]

only my fonts are broken 🙁

[flint nacelle]

Eh, weird that it didn't for me!

[strong cedar]

sorry just delete this from userChrome.css /* Add additional CSS below */ #browser { font-family: "SF Pro" !important; }

[flint nacelle]

@wispy tangle URL Bar is fixed.
Reinstall theme in Sine.

[shut flax]

and the text is no longer centered

[strong cedar]

yeah because centered text has issues

[shut flax]

ok

[smoky hedge]

h

[hearty rapids]

i just started getting the black box that shows up when i open the url bar </3

[wispy tangle]

Yay, that worked

[wispy tangle]

Reinstalling it through Sine (using link) did nothing for some reason

[wispy tangle]

@strong cedar are you using same method for findbar?

[flint nacelle]

Not link. Do it from the Marketplace.

[whole cedar]

Mica works again?

[strong cedar]

that is due to mica4everyone but if you experience glitching lots of rectangles then thats due to a small bug in urlbar code
totally different bugs but kinda looks same

[strong cedar]

no

i wanted to

but making it for findbar is very difficult since findbar is different for all webpages and stuff

[strong cedar]

new version does ig (cheff knows better abt this)

[whole cedar]

Idk how much newer can i download lol

I tried both the repo aswell as microsoft store

Idk what other issue is there
Because if u try to install the latest version
It says newer version is already present (i dont no mica)

[strong cedar]

hmm

then just use dwm for the time being

@coarse sail i want to update nebula.uc.js

[coarse sail]

Oke

[cerulean rapids]

@strong cedar i was also having the rectangles issue, but seems to be fixed with this new Nebula file. But i cant find this line of code anymore, did you remove it on purpose or is it somewhere else? i used to have a different opacity values, because i dont think the nebula urlbar default works for me

[wispy tangle]

Ah, oke

[strong cedar]

where do i update it

if u can then just update it with this in sine marketplace

[strong cedar]

the new zen update made changes to it so i had to shift the blur and stuff to the #urlbar[open] itself instead of #urlbar-background like it was previously

and i removed the background color as it had almost no difference and saves some performance

[dim sage]

Is it updated yet?

[strong cedar]

i am ready to update it

problem is i need to first get the js file to be approved by mr sine first

in order to put it to marketplace for v3.2

[dim sage]

Ahh okiee

[strong cedar]

any suggestions for what else i should improve and stuff

in the meanwhile

[dim sage]

Mmhhhmm

[opal hornet]

maybe add an option for window menu like that minimal exit menu mod

[strong cedar]

hmm

let me look into it

[strong cedar]

ok i just tried the zen minimal exit menu mod since i guess thats what you are reffering to and it looks so weird lmao

[opal hornet]

yeah that mod has been broken for a while

[strong cedar]

oh makes sense

[cerulean rapids]

can you point where this is exactly? right now the URLBar is not very visible (the background is a youtube video)

[opal hornet]

some forks of it work

[strong cedar]

wtf

wait

is that light mode

[cerulean rapids]

yeah, thats why i wanted to change the opacity

[strong cedar]

oh shit

[cerulean rapids]

its mainly because light mode is not good

[strong cedar]

i forgot abt light mode after v2.0

[strong cedar]

ik, i want to improve it but i suck at making color stuff for light mode

[strong cedar]

can i get the code

[cerulean rapids]

light mode with nebula is mostly fine

[opal hornet]

https://github.com/pedroand6/zen-minimal-exit-menu

[strong cedar]

can you add the previous background light-dark color you were mentioning earlier to the same place where it was

[opal hornet]

i'm using this one

[strong cedar]

if that fixes what you are saying

[cerulean rapids]

same background

[strong cedar]

did it help

[cerulean rapids]

yeah, all good now

[strong cedar]

oh nice

ill add it back too then

[strong cedar]

@flint nacelle

[flint nacelle]

Whut?

[strong cedar]

macos style buttons

messing around with it

[flint nacelle]

I remember suggesting you to add it to Nubulu, but you were high and rejected it.

[strong cedar]

cuz as i said i didnt have motivation

but now since mr sine is afk

im doing random shit

[somber nymph]

how about icons for workspace
tho I think that's not possible or is it

[strong cedar]

wdym

[somber nymph]

wait what

[somber nymph]

since when can we add icons for spaces

[strong cedar]

since forever

[somber nymph]

i just found out

[strong cedar]

been in default zen since i started using it

[somber nymph]

ahh idts
wasn't here before folders update cuz I did ask logic and he pointed out the fodlers dev thread to me

[strong cedar]

it was

[somber nymph]

no i mean icons

[strong cedar]

uh

emojis

[somber nymph]

not emojis

[strong cedar]

ohoh

[flint nacelle]

@strong cedar If you're bored, try latest Arcline. 🙂

[strong cedar]

OH SHI WTF

[strong cedar]

i did yesterday

oh wait that was arc2.0

[flint nacelle]

Yeah, you're gonna be so overwhelmed with its Settings.

Cosmo will online by the time you're done.

[strong cedar]

also is the windows left control config not working

[somber nymph]

good this you fixed the font issue
earlier I selected sf pro but for the main Ui like settings and all, I wasn't getting applied and started using Times Now Roman

[somber nymph]

it is

[flint nacelle]

You gotta carefully watch every pref.

[somber nymph]

also @flint nacelle can you add a pref to remove the this please
or atleast make it not take up so much space

[strong cedar]

not for me ;-;

[flint nacelle]

I don't have write access to Arcline. 🥀

[flint nacelle]

Join VC.

[somber nymph]

wait what
i thought you did

will you guys speak in hindi in the vc? im just curious

[flint nacelle]

No, cheff will ban.

[somber nymph]

demn

[latent pagoda]

Menu appear animations. Have one for the application menu (zen icon in sidebar top): https://github.com/T3lluz/zen-menu-reveal-animation. But for all the menus mby. Idk if its too demanding and will trigger performamce issues, but ...

The one above works by pasting in sine importer btw

[cerulean rapids]

oh, thats nice, would be cool to have this animation for the context menu too

[coarse sail]

in your fork, edit the Nebula.uc.js file in the Nebula folder of the mods folder.

your fork of sineorg/store repo, just to clarify.

[strong cedar]

i tried adding menu animations yesterday but i have just one question, im on windows so will making menu animations fk up the menus of macos or linux

[strong cedar]

oh

alr

[dim sage]

Is it updated yet?

[strong cedar]

im doing it rn

[dim sage]

Yeay

[strong cedar]

ok i opened a pull request on sine store

lets see how long it takes

[gaunt oar]

How can i remove white border?

[hard inlet]

omg nebula update??

[hard inlet]

oo whats new

[strong cedar]

yess 💪🏻

i wanna know that too

hate that border

[strong cedar]

when hovering over a link, the statusbar is now in the same style as findbar and stuff

[hard inlet]

awesomee hopefully its updated on sine soon and i can go back to using nebula compared to no theme

[strong cedar]

it will be updated today, just waiting for mr sine to accept the pull request for js file

[hard inlet]

preferred nebula over arc 2.0 and theres no other good theme apart from these 2

[hard inlet]

yep thats good

[strong cedar]

wht abt arcline

[hard inlet]

yea i tried that but didnt rly like it tbh

[strong cedar]

oh i see

[latent pagoda]

Good question. Can someone on mac or linux try installing the mod and see if it works?

[strong cedar]

thats basically the reason stopping me from adding that since i know all OS have way different context menus

[hard inlet]

im on macos i could try

do i have to wait for it to come on sine or install manually just to test this

[strong cedar]

just paste this in userChrome.css

or

just paste this github link in sine https://github.com/T3lluz/zen-menu-reveal-animation/tree/main

[hard inlet]

ok i’ll try on a new profile later

[strong cedar]

ty

[hard inlet]

oh ok i’ll do this on my current profile instead

which menus is it for, like the extensions popup and etc?

[strong cedar]

right now not for that but for this button

the main menu of zen

[hard inlet]

ahh ok i’ll try when i can and let u know

[hard inlet]

@strong cedar @latent pagoda

[strong cedar]

bro macos and linux has such good context menu animations by defualt 😭

windows has mica effect but no animation

[hard inlet]

ohh yea

this doesnt seem bad imo, could add to nebula

but might be different to this on linux

[strong cedar]

well i made my own version

for context menus (not this side panel right now)

[dim sage]

Omg I fw this so hard

[hard inlet]

ah nice

[strong cedar]

(the outer part of it is just default macos/linux animation)

made this with some js and css

[hard inlet]

this is without that mod enabled

[hard inlet]

oh damn this is sick

[strong cedar]

yeah that animation is just so smooth, was my fav

[strong cedar]

would work on all OS

not sure how it will look with macos animations but yeah

[hard inlet]

macos context menus just look like this tho we dont get the one with the icons on top

[strong cedar]

not a problem since this code does not hardcode each button

[hard inlet]

this one

[strong cedar]

yea this js detects it automatically does not rely on each button

[hard inlet]

oo nice

[hard inlet]

but yea idk if it'll animate this one

[strong cedar]

gpt 5 been cooking good

[hard inlet]

hahah nice

[strong cedar]

yeah i guess, if it does then good if it doesnt then ill see what can be done

[hard inlet]

yep

[latent pagoda]

Yeah I just added support for lotta sections

[strong cedar]

ok i managed to polish the js and css nicely

now all the buttons animate properly

[latent pagoda]

Nicccce

[latent pagoda]

Took inspiration from the menu in chrome browser mobile btw

[strong cedar]

ohhh

[latent pagoda]

But wish the pane itself could be animated too, but dk if possible?

tried for some time, but didnt get it to work

[strong cedar]

me too, but its not possible on windows since that pane layer is controlled by windows dwm

for mica/acrylic to work on it

that was the reason why those animation were removed when cheff introduced material for the menu

[latent pagoda]

Makes sense

[flint nacelle]

@strong cedar Updated?

Reply with ping..

[strong cedar]

i want to

but mr sine is inactive rn

someone got their zen broken cus i was adding v3.2 files on repo but js file was not updated cuz of this

[flint nacelle]

https://tenor.com/view/rage-angry-communication-gif-17637019732916283735

[strong cedar]

idk but there should be a better system for this ig

the js and css files both are being added on different times while updating

[flint nacelle]

There can't be. Or else someone might just update a malware with JS lol.

Mr sine manually checks for malware fr.

[dim sage]

So he is like.... Checking it line by line..?

[strong cedar]

he is inactive...

i made a pr 10hr ago

[flint nacelle]

When a PR comes, he checks it word by word.

[strong cedar]

since he is from us there is timezone issue

[flint nacelle]

He should be awake rn.

[dim sage]

Sounds like a chore damn...

[strong cedar]

people have lives

[flint nacelle]

That's the reason not a single malware is reported on Sine.

[flint nacelle]

Ik, but as per his usual routine, he is active during entire nightime for us...

🥀

This is quite unusual.

[strong cedar]

well i am not even mad about the js problem but

the thing is

i am more concerned that the time of update of js and css is different

since js is updated when mr sine approves it

but the css will be updated when i upload the new files

ykyk

[strong cedar]

there is new zen update?!

[flint nacelle]

Not yet, but there will be when you again go into hibernation.

[strong cedar]

true

[flint nacelle]

Also, does your PC has expandable RAM?

[strong cedar]

prob not

even if it did

never noticed

16gb is enough

[flint nacelle]

Yes, I added 4GB more (stole from my cousin) and it feels better!

Now it's 20GB RAM!

[strong cedar]

shi

what u doin with that mch ram

[dim sage]

Bruh yall be havin a lotta ram while I use zen-nubulu with 4gb on win 11

[flint nacelle]

Running MyDockFinder, Discord, Zen, Wallpaper Engine, PowerToys, Raycast and Spicetify at the same time.

[strong cedar]

dw my gpu still doesnt work

[flint nacelle]

Feels smoother than before.

[strong cedar]

bro

how is your pc

handlng

what specs u got

[flint nacelle]

20GB DDR4 RAM, intel i7 13th Gen processor, 1TB SSD.

[strong cedar]

shi

[flint nacelle]

Still Ryzen > AMD.

[strong cedar]

ryzen > amd?

[dim sage]

Lol

[strong cedar]

[flint nacelle]

Galaxy > samsung.

[strong cedar]

btw

[flint nacelle]

?

Bro goes afk after btw.

[dim sage]

Is this included in the new update?

[drifting mica]

wtf is that bruh

[somber nymph]

wha

[drifting mica]

i mean which website u on

[strong cedar]

yea

[somber nymph]

it's the same thing for every website

[drifting mica]

shock u r using latest version?

[somber nymph]

it's just extension icon or arc

yup

or am I

0.9.0?

[drifting mica]

i never changed that number

[somber nymph]

yeah but i am on the latest update cuz i see you added the changelog

and fixed some stuff

[drifting mica]

but it should not have that arc logo icon

[strong cedar]

guys

can someone on macos/linux test v3.2 context menus

plks

pls

[twin pewter]

why

[somber nymph]

wha
could it be from arc 2.0 even tho I have it turned off since way back

[strong cedar]

fasfas

[drifting mica]

u r using some extra css which is affecting it

[twin pewter]

where is my reduced motion

🥀

[drifting mica]

to increase ur attention span

[somber nymph]

nah im not
uhh lemme try removing arc 2.0 then

[twin pewter]

true

I'm literally trying to watch a show

[drifting mica]

now way u watching the gay anime

[twin pewter]

Blue eye samurai

[flint nacelle]

🏳️‍🌈

[strong cedar]

ik its ur fav

@flint nacelle do u have linux

[somber nymph]

lol

rip quality

[drifting mica]

i only watched like few episodes year ago i know they was some gay thing i forgor tho

[strong cedar]

i realised that the context menu animation will prob break menus in macos and linux

[twin pewter]

Nuh uh

wdym gay

[flint nacelle]

Me and Linux can't be in the same sentence, until it's sth negative about Linux...

[twin pewter]

I only see boobies

[dim sage]

Linux > ubuntu

[drifting mica]

ahh nvm it was reverse gay i forgor

[flint nacelle]

https://tenor.com/view/why-are-you-why-are-you-gay-pepe-julian-who-is-gay-you-are-gay-gif-7498895038026770702

[twin pewter]

the hell is that

[flint nacelle]

Actually vice versa is true.

[somber nymph]

lol removing the mod fixed it, tho it was already disabled

[flint nacelle]

You removed Arc2.0

[somber nymph]

I had to

also, need some suggestion for wireframe

#css-mods message

[flint nacelle]

Well I agree @drifting mica , Arcline > Arc2.0.

Feature wise.

But performance wise its opposite.

[somber nymph]

yeah arcline is loaded but slow

[drifting mica]

u guys just use it very wrongly

[somber nymph]

are we supposed to use it with everything off then

[drifting mica]

mostly default things

[flint nacelle]

Yeah well even with using it very rightly with prefs you suggested, it still consumes more RAM than any purely CSS based theme due to JS...

[drifting mica]

i can make pure css version

[flint nacelle]

No.

[dim sage]

Lol

[somber nymph]

hmm well I use default except macos window controls and arc style url bar

[flint nacelle]

Then there'll be no point of Arc2.0

[strong cedar]

[somber nymph]

separate server for nubulu

[flint nacelle]

No.

[somber nymph]

separate server for arc 2.0?

[flint nacelle]

No.

[somber nymph]

: (

[flint nacelle]

Btw that's how slowlife replies.

[somber nymph]

lol

[somber nymph]

please

[flint nacelle]

Themes should only be made into speparate server when msgs cross 1 million plus.

That's how Lucid theme server started.

[somber nymph]

damn

[flint nacelle]

For Spicetify.

[drifting mica]

ahh finally my raycats proble fixed

[flint nacelle]

Bro how to get more memes in meme generator?

All I got are old asf.

[drifting mica]

u dont

i mean u can try to edit the source code

and build extension locally

[flint nacelle]

Wut? How did cosmo got cats then???

[drifting mica]

it wasnt cosmo it was me

[flint nacelle]

@drifting mica How to do!!!

[drifting mica]

wait for it to release

https://tenor.com/view/games-banner-cool-games-games-free-ad-gif-21717936

[flint nacelle]

Bro has canary build for raycast.

We all got beta build.

[flint nacelle]

Bro this is perfect!
Is there same for Spicetify?

[drifting mica]

no

[flint nacelle]

[twin pewter]

[flint nacelle]

Change your wallpaper...

It's been same since your pre-hibernation era.

[strong cedar]

i used this after a long time

[strong cedar]

no usually i just use it for the github covers

[flint nacelle]

Eh, it's just a lil bit too much white color yk... Steals the vibe transparent websites get!

[strong cedar]

alr ill go back to my old one

[somber nymph]

hey can you also share the wallpapers you linked with the release earlier
that link isn't working anymore

[strong cedar]

just download the wallpaper.rar file from v3.1 release

[somber nymph]

im reverting back to normal wallpaper from wallpaper engine now
bored of wallpaper engine and it's bugs

[somber nymph]

yeah I tried, it fails after a while idk why

[strong cedar]

oh whatt

github bugging 😭

[flint nacelle]

Also, didn't you also have Wallpaper Engine?

[somber nymph]

yeah I thought it was because my laptop went to sleep mode once but tried again didn't work

[somber nymph]

if only wallpaper engine had these kinda wallpapers

[flint nacelle]

Use Hibernate instead of Sleep...

[flint nacelle]

Wdym? You can add whatever image you like to any active theme on WE.

[strong cedar]

i do

[flint nacelle]

Then get it! Try the Green Gradient theme.

[strong cedar]

i can send you the ones u want tho

[somber nymph]

yeah but like proper ones with animation
can I?
Well i do know about the wallpaper editor but I haven't tried

[somber nymph]

lol how many are there
isn't there any link for them?
or if you'll link them up for the new release then i'll get it from there

[flint nacelle]

Yeah, try it rn!

[somber nymph]

damn!

[flint nacelle]

Send ss of what you did!

[somber nymph]

nothing rn
will do it later maybe
rn trying to understand how themes work lol

how can I test prefs?

[flint nacelle]

Prefs?

[somber nymph]

yeah like if I wanna have windows control left as a preference, how do I test it on my end rn

[strong cedar]

there are like 100+ but i have link to few packs which have like 60

[flint nacelle]

I didn't know about that. Where is it?

[somber nymph]

found it!
I have to do it from about:config only
tho idk why but my defined prefs are not showing up for some reason but i'll see

[somber nymph]

oh damn
can you share

[strong cedar]

https://cgispread.com/free-vectors/fractal-maze-gradient/ press this button

[somber nymph]

da button doesn't work

[strong cedar]

worked, for me

https://www.mediafire.com/file_premium/d7tpecj5lvap46k/Fractal_Maze_Gradient.7z/file

took me to here

[somber nymph]

lol what
nah just opened the picture for me

[somber nymph]

thanks!

[strong cedar]

weird

[somber nymph]

indeed

[strong cedar]

you can also find more packs on https://cgispread.com/page/2/ so yeah

[flint nacelle]

Eh bruh, I thought you were talking about WE.

[somber nymph]

lmao no 💀

[flint nacelle]

I was like - that's new, when did pref got added into WE. Never explored that thing - seems like a new update...

[wild leaf]

Installed arc 2.0 after some messages from here, now the browser doesn't open until I close the Zen process in the task bar. Saw a message here suggesting to delete some file, couldn't find it, which file was that?

[flint nacelle]

What? Can you show a video.

[wild leaf]

I mean when I turn on PC, click on the Zen icon, it just doesn't start, open task manager? (don't know why I said task bar) and close the process it runs normally, I can close the browser and open it again with no issues

[flint nacelle]

Create a new profile and see if it happens.

[latent pagoda]

Niiiiice.But No bounce? 👀

[strong cedar]

at first i tried making it bounce but it looked so weird that i had to stick with just normal scale 0.95 to scale 1

[latent pagoda]

Mine bounced, but bugged sometimes, so better safe than sorry

[strong cedar]

i did finalize this code but now i realised that it might break context menus for linux and macos

need someone to test it

your css solution worked on macos and linux too since it was hardcoded but mine has js which can indeed break context menu completely

[latent pagoda]

Wish macos vm was possible

[mellow hare]

I could try tomorrow (near 13-14h Madrid Time Zone), on my Gnome/Fedora/Linux based laptop if you give me the files ^^

[latent pagoda]

@strong cedar This is the problem I encountered with my mod aswell. Items being visible before animation has come to that point. Anyone else have it?

[strong cedar]

oh sick

[strong cedar]

yeah that is because of ff's lazy loading of these

i fixed it using some js

[strong cedar]

nebula folder

the js file

[somber nymph]

still no update? : (

[latent pagoda]

Im using your latest files on that video. Any idea how to prevent them from loading before animation?

[strong cedar]

i can update right nowb

since finally the pr for js file has been merged

but i need someone to test the update first

on macos

or linux

[somber nymph]

mr sine is back?

[hard inlet]

ohh nice

[strong cedar]

not sure but he did merge the pr

[hard inlet]

i can do that when i get home

[strong cedar]

ohhh

what

[hard inlet]

is it a different thing to what i tried befor

[strong cedar]

yeah

this is for context menu animations

and it works fine on my windows

[somber nymph]

well that's good then

[hard inlet]

oo ok i’ll let u know when i can try it

[strong cedar]

but i want to see how it does for macos cuz it can break it

[strong cedar]

these are the files btwe

for v3.2

[latent pagoda]

Just to make sure, imma make a new profile. May just be some configs or smth overriding from loading and unloading sine-mods

[strong cedar]

wait are you talking about the greyed out buttons?

which are visible before animation

[latent pagoda]

Anyone else having problems like that btw? Driving me crazy. If i enable nebula, then remove it from sine, nebula configs and css still in the browser...

[strong cedar]

looks like a sine issue

[latent pagoda]

Yeah the elements/text visible before the animation has reached them

[strong cedar]

yeah those are the only buttons i am unable to fix

firefox tries to avoid repainting them

and i tried forcing js to repaint them immediately too but it doesnt work

[latent pagoda]

Hmmm. Yeah ig thats the magic of hardcoding. Got them removed with my mod but dk about js compatibility

[strong cedar]

wait can you send the code to remove them

or wtv u did

ill just add that part ig

if it helps with this

[strong cedar]

WAIT i managed to make it work

/* ------------------- PANEL MENU ANIMATION ------------------- */

/* Hide menu items by default */
#appMenu-popup .subviewbutton,
#appMenu-popup .panel-menuitem,
#PanelUI-popup .subviewbutton,
#PanelUI-popup .panel-menuitem {
  opacity: 0;
  transform: scale(0.95);

}

#appMenu-popup[panelopen] .subviewbutton,
#PanelUI-popup[panelopen] .subviewbutton,
#appMenu-popup[panelopen] .panel-menuitem,
#PanelUI-popup[panelopen] .panel-menuitem {
  animation: menu-item-appear 0.15s both;
  pointer-events: auto;
}

with my js

[flint nacelle]

Bro, didn't you like my theme because I made it bouncy!

[strong cedar]

no the bounce animation on context menus look weird

and nebula doesnt have bounce shit

[flint nacelle]

Common man, we should add as much bounce in our life as possible!

[strong cedar]

so i made the animation same as my urlbar link animations

[flint nacelle]

Hmm, cosmo was active in morning (for us). Is the PR approved?

[strong cedar]

yup it s

is

all i need to do is make a release and edit theme.json to say v3.2 instead of v3.1.1 for people to get update

but im very skeptical

[flint nacelle]

Yeah Marketplace still has it named v3.1.1.

[flint nacelle]

why?

[strong cedar]

ik thats intentional

since if i need to fix something, i can make the fix and then release v3.2 so people get working update

[strong cedar]

about context menu animations working on macos and linux

it works on windows

but idk abt those two

[flint nacelle]

Well you didn't find anyone in #zeneral with Mac/Linux to help you?

[strong cedar]

nop

[flint nacelle]

Well then you can ping cheff as he got all...

[strong cedar]

sure

[flint nacelle]

Yk what, get VMware Workstation Pro and run Hackintosh and Debian/Arch on it to test Nubulu for v3.2

[strong cedar]

my pc already has a hard time handling windows let alone vm

[flint nacelle]

16GB RAM!

Where it all goes?

[strong cedar]

ram is not the issue

cpu and gpu are

blud thinks pc just needs 16gb ram 💀

[latent pagoda]

Lessgoooo. When you planning to push?

[flint nacelle]

Turn off some startup apps and services for one time and it'll work. It did for me with 8GB RAM, Intel iGPU and i5 10th gen CPU.

[strong cedar]

i updated it on github

well

technically

v3.2 is already released on sine

just delete and install nebula again through it

all the files are there

including js

[strong cedar]

i dont have any startup apps

all i use is edge and zen

lmao

[flint nacelle]

Also run MemReduct program to get the best performance.

[strong cedar]

i have mem reduct, its useless

[flint nacelle]

ooh, well it worked for me on my work pc...

[strong cedar]

it only clears the cached memory in ram but the thing is that cached memory is necessary to make pc fast and to utlize unused ram, if something else requires more ram windows automatically deletes that amount of cached ram

anyways

[flint nacelle]

Hmm, what CPU and GPU you got...

[strong cedar]

i5 9400f, gt730 ddr5

[latent pagoda]

KhorvieTech on YT = king of optimizing windows

[strong cedar]

YES

[flint nacelle]

Fuckin shit! Do it bro what tf you gotta worry about!

[strong cedar]

btw

i just realised

my context menu animation also is applied to these dropdowns in sine settings

lessgo

[latent pagoda]

https://tenor.com/view/gloop-gif-25555044

[flint nacelle]

Bro realized only now that context menu covers almost every menu except panel menu on Zen!

[latent pagoda]

Its all coming together

[strong cedar]

and i made panel menu also animate

sick

just hope i dont need to restrict it to windows 11 only

if thats even possible

[latent pagoda]

Lets see after they test on Mac and Linux

[flint nacelle]

It's possible. Just plz run VM bruh... You're more than capable to run it. Like the specs I mentioned for my work pc - even on that it worked great.

[latent pagoda]

Mac VM tho-...?

[flint nacelle]

Hackintosh - so many tutorial on YT to do it.

Tahoe included.

[latent pagoda]

Hmm. Ig im going all in on MacOS on my dualboot windows Arch now 😈

Well

https://tenor.com/view/nice-cat-gif-25643491

[flint nacelle]

Del one gif.

[hard inlet]

@strong cedar im free now what do i need to do to try it

[strong cedar]

yay

nice

just

delete nebula from sine store

and download it again

and restart

[hard inlet]

[hard inlet]

alright

[strong cedar]

to make sure the version is the latest one, go to nebula settings and see if bottom part says "adds macos style window stuff"

[hard inlet]

yep it does say that

[strong cedar]

if u open the context menus

[hard inlet]

there doesnt seem to be any animation

[strong cedar]

do they animate

[hard inlet]

idk if im tripping but when its closing there seems to be a fade? idk if that was there before

i'll screen record

[strong cedar]

uh

[hard inlet]

that was probably there before i cant remember

its rly subtle tbf

[strong cedar]

no these are not the animations

hmm

[hard inlet]

these are animated now though

[strong cedar]

looks like it does infact not work on macos

[strong cedar]

YES

this is what i was talking abt

wait

[hard inlet]

👀

[strong cedar]

can you open this menu

and see if that animates too

[hard inlet]

sure

indeed

[strong cedar]

alr nicee

ok so only the regular context menus on macos are not animated because those are system level so ig they cant be

but alright atleast they are not broken

[hard inlet]

yea

[strong cedar]

nice then

ok ill release v3.2
