Brave Browser Lament

Culture

How do I get rid of these fucking backgrounds? All I want is grey or black, how fucking hard could it be? Bastards don’t support Linux cursors either…arg.

I had to install a start page extension so I could customise it as I wanted.

If it’s the mouse cursor you’re talking about it may be KWM(?) not drawing the cursor within the GTK window correctly and falling back to the default in ~/.icons/default/index.theme.

Awesome, thank you! One down, my OCD is almost settled.

Now for the cursor :anguished:

What’s the cursor behaviour specifically?

Left handed in Ubuntu desktop, right handed in Brave, Mailspring etc.

Could be Brave, Mailspring etc. are still using GTK2 and lefty cursors only draw on GTK3. Wild shot in the dark.

Yup I think you’re right, I’ve run Dconf and everything looks fine in there.

Fixed it! libgnut was the offending item.

I’ve been trying out the Brave mobile browser and the home page is just as shitty.

That started me playing around with html and I learned that display:flex is now a thing.

Anyways, I slapped together the skeleton of a auto resizing click box home page.

<!DOCTYPE html>
   <html lang="">
    <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Home Page</title>
    <style>
        body{
        background-color:#161925;
        }
        .wrapper{
        display: flex;
        align-items: center;
        justify-content: center;
        flex-flow: row wrap;
        }
        .box{
        float:left;
        display:flex;
        align-items:center;
        justify-content: center;
        border:2px solid black;
        border-radius:15px 15px 15px 15px;
        background-color:#232629;
        height:200px;
        width:200px;
        margin:5px;
        padding:5px;
        }
    </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        
        <div class="wrapper">

Why can’t I find an online html previewer that provides a preview link? :saltshake:

Vivaldi has this as standard on both Desktop and Mobile, then again Vivaldi doesn’t profit from viewing it’s background images.

The Bromite one is okay. It just lists your most viewed, in order. No other control over that other than “remove” though.

There are heaps of ‘speed dial’ ‘Chrome Web Store’ extensions for Brave (I tried them all lol(, tbh they are all gash compared to the Vivaldi built in one which supports, resizing, drag and drop ordering, adding your own thumbnail to each bookmark, folders, custom background image or flat color, refreshable tiles (so you can F5 one tile or the whole page and the thumbnail will update)

I have over 1k of bookmarks spread over 8 pages, once the muscle memory is learnt it’s unbeatable for getting round the web with speed.

This yet another speed dial - Chrome Web Store was the best one btw. :rofl:

Best thing for learning flexbox:
