    Hi Tony,

    no need to worry. Maxthon Browser itself will basically stay the same, the only change is that you can get cryptocurrency reward(in our case, LivesToken) by using Maxthon Browser and doing certain things(for example, browsing xx minutes per day, etc.). We are aiming big and trying to achieve the idea of Symbiosism Economy through the new blockchain technology that we are developing.

    Stay tuned!

     

    i see - well in truth i dont - sounds like a follow up to the VIP status that came in a fanfare and died a death

    for the uninformed [me] give me a couple of sentence explanation - is this something like bitcoin which i know of but have no clue what it is - currency to me goes in my wallet or pocket - anything else is meaningless

    will see what I can do.can you give more details? how can I reproduce it?

    its the popup wanting to generate a password - so just go to any site that needs a password - click on the password box and up pops the annoying popup - does not matter if you have your own password set it still pops up - would be great to get rid of it

    Hi guys,

    I dont know you but its been annoying for me not to have a blank page.So I've found a solution. I've edited a file and now İt shows no quick access.Just copy MxBrowser.dll in the attached file and paste it to : C:\Program Files (x86)\Maxthon5\Bin

    Maxthon 5.0.4.3000: MxBrowser-v5043000.rar

    Maxthon 5.0.3.2000: MxBrowser-5032000.rar

    Maxthon 5.0.2.2000: MxBrowser.rar

    like this - can you do the same to stop the annoying password box flashing up when a password is needed

    This is 177 addons. Nope.
    And if they will make "use .svg" an "official guide", will sound stupid: Exnetsions Center works OK with .png only and show gray gear (as with no icons) for other files. It have to work with one type of files.

    MX5 was released many months ago and no one warned about it!
    I'm almost sure that MX can take all skins and all extensions developer and сollect them all in one room. And all MX problems because they don't think how other devs have to work with their browser. They never will have ocean of developers and when they will make Skins Center, there will be about 5-10 can really do something cool, other will upload standart skins with new background. This is Maxthon in its best!

    i suspect its lack of continuity of staff and poor communication - just as the bugs change here on a regular basis i would guess the devs have a high turnover - so whilst they can program they start with a clean sheet of paper each time and do whatever they want with little detailed reference backwards

    I have the same question - or equivalent.  How do we make *.mxskin files that will override the contents of certain htm and css files packaged in UIMain.dat or UIHuge.dat?  I know that MX5 will now loas *.mxskin files but just  loading another background image is NOT a skin, not a real, full skin.

    I want an answer to my question and think it woukd be good to update  the SDK with MX5 instructions.

    I have seen an mxskin file that loads a background image included in the file along with a congig.ini file like the one associated with the Skin Center files in MX5 and n UserData.  That give clues to how a config.ini file is structured.  But full skins for Mx3/4 have a xkin3.ini file.  How is the MX5 equivalent file to be structured??

    Plase give some help to skin makers so we can stop munging the default files in MX5.

                               <<SL>>

    what do you mean they are NOT skins - joe with 2 hats thinks they are :mdr: - as to the rest of it i dont think its going to happen - prove me wrong Jeff - but the skin centre died with 3 - i think the devs agree with Joe - what we have is it

  6. who the hell is comparing it to 7 - not this 'self centred individual - i left 7 behind long ago - i am comparing it to the last 10 build - the list of programs that are broken is growing but thats no concern of Microsoft - never has been - they are right - the rest are wrong - IF the 'self centred' comment is aimed at me - fine - i never said i did not like it - it works - its where we are going - apps and programs will be fixed to work with it until Microsoft issue something else that breaks them or other stuff - its an OS - it lets us/me use the computer to do what i want - without it i am staring at a Dell logo or linux

    Such as?

     

    try changing some font sizes on the desktop - thats gone - it seems to remember what the settings were before the update but they cannot now be changed without digging into the registry

    So, how do you like it?  Insiders are already on the next update.Winver.png

    got it earlier - it works - they are busy changing for change sake imo - stripping stuff out and breaking some 3rd party software i use but thats as it is with Microsoft - they care not for users these days

    Looks like they are about to release a new Development Branch of win10, this is where they work on Onecore. Who is planning on continuing with windows insider program?

    i gave up a long time ago - simply not worth the time involved

    But the changelog says:  + Support MX4 skin function

     

    it does indeed which is why i said i think their definition of a skin is different to yours and mine - in MX4 you could do what they have added to 5 - many call that a skin - its not - well not imo but you will have to wait for an official answer

    I've downloaded the skin from MX4, where do I add into MX5?

    good question - not looked deeply but i think their definition of a skin is different from what you and i might think - you can change the background colour and/or change same background to one of a few defined pictures - it may be possible to add your own picture but i think? thats it - if so its all in the definition - MX4 skins are different things and i cannot see it being possible to add those to MX5

    Can't wait for the "new" skins!!!  I know Tony is going to love them!:Upside-Down_Face_Emoji_Icon_42x42:

    skins.png

    coloured backgrounds - well thats great - what can i say - sure to bring people back in droves :mdr:

    Well I'm sure I could figure it out, however it can't be that simple. Yeah, CSS and HTM stuff to edit, but there must be some file I need to change in order to make it compatible with other versions.

    Could somebody tell me what that is or should I just give up?

    not sure what you are asking - the newer versions use the same method - the dat 0 and 1 files have benm renamed - 7twenty posted that earlier - old skins may or may not work fully once the files have been renamed - if thats all you want then wiltsers skins may work

     

  14. there is or was some help files on modding skins - have a search - you have to unpack the dat 0 and 1 files using the packers that are on here - once you have them unpacked you have a series of css and htm files for various elements of the skin - depending on your knowledge and ambition its all in there

    packer is here

    Try UC Browser.

    UC browser.png

    UC2.png

    thats a cracking system - looking at the skin files they look easy enough to change - give me good side favourites similar to MX4 and i would be looking at that very seriously - need to look at the extensions i assume as i know nothing about chrome

    Hi all, 

    Here is a link from Chinese forum

    http://bbs.maxthon.cn/thread-348-1-1.html

    It's collection of skins for MX5 posted by the skin mods Yoyoako

    The first one can be applied to MX5, and others can be applied to MX4.

    The content contains the original post link and thumbnails for each skin.

     

    I just post here the link in case you may need it :wink:

     

    Hope someone from our forum can also generate a post like this :1f60a:

    have you checked with Yoyoako that he/she is happy for the link to be here - one of the chinese skinners has in the past asked that links are not posted here - cannot remember who it was

  17. nothing to do with main menu

    once you have moved the navbar to the top then add a line in navbar/index.css 

    /*
        Navigation Bar Style
        
        @author SiC
        @revision 74
    */
    .navbar {
        flow: horizontal;
        margin-right:130; 
        padding: 0dip 3dip 2dip 64dip;
        height: 100%%;
        overflow-x: hidden;
        text-overflow: ellipsis;
    }

     

    change value [130] to whatever you want

    Sorry Tony for the misunderstanding. Let me clarify one point, we are not working on skins, we are designing themes. :wink:

    BTW, do you know who created and shared skins before and why they were deleted? 

    But as I know, the self-made skins often cause some unexpected problems on the browser. 

    self made skins cause no problem if done correctly - i have been using one i designed through MX3 4 and 5 - others here would say the same - as to themes - well joe with 2 hats will be happy to hear that :titter:

    Hi KILVa, our designers and developers are working on themes and skins now. 

    While currently, you can search on this board and find some brilliant skins made by Maxthon fans!

    http://forum.maxthon.com/index.php?/forum/80-skin-extension/

    Here is some useful information:

     

    thats interesting news - if the internal people are working on skins it will be a first - from MX2 they have pushed nothing more that the stock skin - as to skins in the link you put up - i have not checked each post but the bulk of what was there has been deleted - there are skins on the Chinese forum - apart from that i dont think you will find many here

    again i question what the devs are doing - is that wishful thinking - guesswork or a fact

    When will we see Mx 5 skins again.  They seem to have disappeared.  The skins for 5.01 don't work with 5.02

    skins are down to the members who post them - mainly Wilser and he has decided to withdraw support and the download links 

    5.01 skins do work on 5.02 - they have changed the 0.dat and 1.dat name to UIHuge and UIMain.dat - caught me out  :arf: but its as simple as renaming the files
