I'd like to add a User Agent string for the new KM version in my latest working KM1.6/1.7, but don't know the strings. The 2014 versions don't even start on win98 anymore. But UA faking still works wonders, on some sites even exotic ones like IE7 or a mobile browser string help, either to display a fully readable page at all or only to prevent unnecessary cluttering and the need

An interesting page about win2000 and VC++ 2010.

Exists everything as additional extension somewhere. Was it greasemeleon or something? That can be used to make very detailed display changes for specific websites, and ready-made styles can be downloaded from the web. Personally I don't use it, but there are some threads about it in this forum. Alternatively you can change colors by some native browser functions, if you know how to put i

Just got curious, although I cannot use KM74 myself (on win98), but that file in KM74b2 seems to contain no useragents at all? Unless it's configured in some other place now, like lots of other gecko24 things. Jon. what do you see when you open the page "about:config" (type it into address line), and then type "useragent" in the filter line? Is there a list for usera

My screenshot is in the 5th post on this page. It is openly visible, not just a link. My whole point is just to avoid the need of double skins for different users, since there isn't any problem at all. The default skin would work perfectly out of the box for all users, it can still HAVE partial NT-transparency, if only the privbar background or the privbar text would have slightly differe

Glad we're finally off the 74beta thread at least. Now just look at my screenshot. Why don't you see it? The transparency WORKS. The transparent background is BLACK, not pink, and it works fine. And the text is black too. THAT is obviously why the text is transparent too: "Black" is defined as transparent in this bmp. The black-text-on-black-background is the prob.

QuoteguenterThat is one of the last in magic pink. Magic pink makes no sense, only promotes the old urban legend. Why not the modern skin version, just with a tiny shade of different colors in background and privbar text color, one common skin for all users and systems?

Just made a new screenshot of AuraAlpha in KM17a2 and win98se. Note that the black background works as transparent, there is really NO magic pink needed :cool: Only prob is the missing text on the privbar. When I open the bmp in irfanview it appears only black-on-black. My system can't seem to handle gradual transparency or how that's called, only 100% or nothing. So just guessing
Forum: Graphics

QuoteguenterAFAIK It is not a fault of the skin bitmap but true transparency is realized/made with a Windows function that is not present in Win98 and some Wine versions. If you call it "true" transparency then this works fine on all systems. No prob! We do NOT need magic pink, every other color works just as well.

Uhm, wasn't that number 1? Then meanwhile only #2 is unsolved yet, with your screenshot. But I don't think it's possible to crop an icon toolbar intentionally with dropdown arrows, unless it happens automatically because 1 single toolbar is longer than screen width. Otherwise only text-toolbars can be partly covered and cropped by neighbor toolbars. But what is possible in K

Yep, as guenter posted. Which version are you using? Just today Dorian posted the new KM74beta2! Tip: if you still have a copy of your old (customized) installation, you can try to copy the files in it over to a new KM74 profile. Or if you changed the skin buttons, copy over its folder with a new name. Guess nearly everything should still work, can save some time.

QuoteGeorge HallIt means each User can have multiple profiles under User Name in their Application Data Folder. Yes I've learned that after awhile, but still it's not self-explanatory and rather misleading for clueless new users. They just read "multiple profiles for users", then many decide "no thanks I'm the only user on my computer and just need 1 single profile

The wording "Use Multi User Profiles" is completely confusing. I too, like lots of other users, would never have guessed it could mean "portable or not" - if profile folder lands inside programs folder or outside in appdata-folder, with all the entailing writing-right probs.

Forum: General

PS: you mentioned google groups taking so long to load, that's why you need the text cache. What I'm doing myself, being on win98se, is this: 1) keep Javascript blocked 2) set the UserAgent to a fake IE7 string 3) and use the new search option from above. Result is a perfectly basic and ultrafast scriptless version of google groups My fake IE7 useragent string is Mozilla/4.

Okay, without needing to fake the User Agent, but javascript needs to be blocked: KM 16 shows the old plain cache links again (by adding gbv=1) http://www.google.com/search?gbv=1&q=%s KM 16 opens those plain cache links as text-only-version first (by adding gbv=1 and strip=1) http://www.google.com/search?gbv=1&strip=1&q=%s (%s is the search term, whatever) Those links can

Huh? Your description isn't very clear so I'm surely reading you wrong, but you can't be really meaning to restart the whole browser after each JS toggle, right??
