Tech Star Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Looks good, I actually like the brown in the 4.0 mockup. :yes: Hopefully someone can port it to Windows if it releases like the mockup.

Chasethebase Reporter Posted October 26, 2009 Reporter Share Posted October 26, 2009 Can they make the back and forward buttons consistent please. I want both back and forward buttons the same. Why so? You use back more than forward, thus making the back larger is quite a sensible design choice.

ozgeek Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Because it makes the toolbar it's located on taller. That color scheme is fugly :x that's just the VS of the OS it's running on - likely ubuntu.

gkl Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Looks nice but I can't say I'm a fan of combining the google search bar with awesomebar.

+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted October 26, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted October 26, 2009 I love the colour scheme there. In fact, I'd like to use that as a theme. :p Make it so! BTW the forward and back buttons are almost the same size (the arrows), it's just ones circle shaped, and one isnt. Isn't that much of an issue is it?

GreenMartian Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Because it makes the toolbar it's located on taller. I'm sure you can turn on small icons, just like you could since the early days of firefox.

Rob2687 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Want. I don't care if the tabs are on the top or the bottom. It's only like 15 pixels of mouse movement.

DarkNovaGundam Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 tabs on top is a stupid decision. It's one of the reasons I use Firefox and not Chrome. That is your opinion. My opinion is its a great decision, I prefer them on the top. Even though I'm all for tabs-on-top I believe Chrome should offer the ability to switch it to the way firefox has it right now. But on top by default.

Stetson Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Looks good except for the orange color used in the icons. I understand going with the system colors but using it at such a high saturation seems a bit off. The Mac/Windows variants just use a dark shadow for that area. I think it would work if they really desaturated that inner icon color or made the shadow on it stronger.

Quillz Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I like the idea of moving the progress bar/throbber onto the tab itself, instead of the address bar or the toolbar.
