  1. If you want a different Speed Dial page to be default, the only way to do that is put the Quick Access panels you want to see there on Page 1. You cannot change which Quick Access page opens in a New Tab (at present). I've done precisely this, so I do get the default QA that I want. You can too.

    In .600 the only options to add a new list would be as described above or copy/paste the list into ...

    Yes I've noted that, but unfortunately the option "Add your own filter" does not result in a successful download of a subscription list. My test case was TinyList from http://adblock.free.fr/tinylist.txt'>http://adblock.free.fr/tinylist.txt>. And I always get "Download Failed." Editing the pattern.ini file and adding:

    url=http://adblock.free.fr/tinylist.txt'>http://adblock.free.fr/tinylist.txt

    title=TinyList

    homepage=http://adblock.free.fr

    at the end of patterns.ini text did add a functioning list.

    @OliverOne I've found that the paste locaation you identify does not work. But if you past this in at the end of patterns.ini it does as described in this thread

  4. @GHosTiK: wonder if I am undeerstanding what you suggesst? When I see "custom rules" I think of rules place in the "Create your rrules" of the AdBlocker Pluse Options dialog. I have installed rules there (lWilser's International List from the forum here and some of the YouTube blocking list also posted here) and they are working with no problems.

    I had also sub scribed to EasyList and MaxthonList, but following Wilserl's directions disabled them to be sure his list worked unhindered.

    With that background, are you suggesting that subscriptions be added by editing patterns.ini instead of using the Ad Blocker Plus Options dialog? I have not found any problems using the dialog to set up working filters. So why edit the file instead of using the dialog?

    The "Filter Lists" of the dialog has provisions for selecting filter lists to add, both the defaults EasyList and its relatives in other languages and Maxthon List plus other lists all I presume have to be subscription lists so that updates are received when they occur.

    Nevertheless, the information is useful to know. I'm just asking for some clarification.

    My Nitro is faster than Mx 4.??

    Look see and test here...

    I ran my own tests on a Win7 Ennterprise w/ SP1, 64-bit, 3.9GB memory

    installed. I also conv erted your results and mine to percentage of the corresponding Nitro result, since it's supposed to be faster.

    Your results as perceentaages:

    PK: 2201/2240 = 98.3%

    FP: 10441/11380 = 91.7%

    Yes, Nitro comes out ahead, but the PPK difference is irrelevant, less than 100 points (2.5% at 4000)

    My results were different. I tested with the Flash player installed by default in each browser and using 16.0.0.x which is currrently installed in my machine.

    For the Flash Benchmark, Mx4 was slower but not very significantly so.

    Flash (M4) = 17229 (v 14.0.0.145) -- 98%

    Flash (M4) = 16964 (v 16.0.0.235) -- 96%

    Flash (Nitro)=17540 (v 14.0.0.177)

    Flash (Nitro)= 17638 (v 16.0.0.240)

    For Peacekeeper Mx4 was faster than Nitro, but again not by much.

    PK (M4)= 4105 (v 14.0.0.145) -- 105%

    PK (M4)= 3993 (v 16.0.0.235) -- 102%

    PK (Nit)= 3925 (v 14.0.0.177)

    PK (Nit)= 3919 (v 16.0.0.240)

    In short, Nitro has a long way to go to deliver on its "speed" hype. In some aspects it's like lightning; in others you can make dinner waiting (a 'slight' exageration, but still true).

    I'm hoping for improvement.

    I don't know chinese...

    Write your post in English; then translate to Chinese; and post both language versions. The built--in Translate tool will do it with Google Translate. The translation won't be perfect, but may be good enough to get an answering post.

    EXAMPLE:

    用英文寫您的文章;然後轉化為中國人;和後兩者的語言版本。內置 - 在翻譯工具,將做到這一點與谷歌翻譯。翻譯不會是完美的,但可能不夠好,得到應答後。

    PS: Beware it doesn't tranlate the Chinese back to English ... I had to fennagle a bit to keep the Chinese.

    Note this is Chinese (Traditional), not Chinese (Simplified). Simplified puts the Chinese into English letters.

    Do you have your side bar pinned to the desktop? If you do, unpin it and then delete the extension.

    Another poswssibility is Syncing with the cloud. If you installed the extension while logged into Passport then either quit the browser or loged out of Passport, I would expect the extension was synced up to the cloud. Now every time you connect to Passport that undesired exxtension re-ssyyncs down to your Maxthon. The problem si how to delete something that has been synced?

    I'm not certain when sync happens, but I think the cloud syncs down to your Maxthon Cloud Browsser when you log into Passportl and when you log out or quit Maxthon, the browser sysnc its data at that time up to Passport. I have taken to breaking thes flows by disabling certain sync operations at the right point so that the "last synced" state is the one you want (jminus the undesired extension.)

    I have used this to stabilize my Bookmarks on a single generally unchanedd set. I keep the Bookmark syscing disabled except when I do a clean install or otherwise toss the UserData. If I were to add a bookmark, I'd enable the sync for bookmarks,

    I do not see how to restart from the pinned icon. Can you explain further?

    I don't "restart", I re-launch. Whenever I do this I still have the history of my last place3 r in the case of videos, they seem to pickup where I was. Since I only use a few vidoe sites, this behaviour may not occur with other sites.

    I do now understand what you mean by "restart", but I would rather relaunch to take out the garbage left by a page crash or page freeze.

  9. I know of no meaanss provided by Maaxthon other than the pinned sidebar available inn the installer version. But Windowss itself, at least Windows 7, offers a wsay. Launch Maxthon from its folder. Then right-click on its TaskBar icon and select "Pin to Taskbar". Thaat will keep the Maxthon icon in the taskbar.

    I don't recll seeing anything like this in WinXP and do not know about Win8. I would expect Win8 to ha ve somethinig similar, but with Microsoft you never know ... logioc, consistency, or intuitiveness have not been their strenbgth

    Sorry those posts have been deleted. But the MX3/4 Skin SDK mentioned by 7twenty in http://forum.maxthon.com/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=13161&pid=69647&fromuid=17653568 is the basic starting point. The missing posts were tightly focused descriptions of applying the SDK to achieve certain specific goals in a skin.

    I hadn't followed the links in my search results and didn't discover their absence.a

    Before there was some Tutorials but they are gone

    http://forum.maxthon.com/home.php?mod=space&ui ...

    The tutorials are still in place on the forum. Do a search of the forum using "tutorial" as your keyword. You'll get a list of tutorials including the Masthon Master Tutorial Post at http://forum.maxthon.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=7716&highlight=tutorial>.

    This will give more than just skin tutorials, but there are quite a fewskin tutorials including the one 7twenty mentions, which I found very helpful.

    The odd thing has been that it's more than picky at times, it will w ...

    Thanks for the explanations. It's lgood to find you back on the boards. Now to answer your question.

    I'n MxNitro, I can only use the UA it provides:

    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) MxNitro/1.0.0.400 Chrome/35.0.1849.0 Safari/537.36

    Peacekeeper identifies it a Chrome/35.0.1849.0.

    In M4, I used two UAs:

    (1) Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; IA64; en) AppleWebKit/599.0+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/38.0.2066.0 Maxthon/4.4.2.1400 QupZilla/1.6.6

    and

    (2) Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; IA64; en) AppleWebKit/599.0+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Maxthon/4.4.2.1400 Chrome/38.0.2066.0 QupZilla/1.6.6

    Peacekeeper identifies both as Maxthon/4.2.2.1400 (or 1500).

    Here's aa screen shot of sine if ny ttest resulltss

    9575

    UA #1 was used in the tests labled A and B in the image;

    Ua #2 was used in test C.

    But as you see alll the tests were ideentified as Maxthon/*

    And my UAs are basically your last posted version with Chrome and Maxthon in switched places.

    I thought I saw a logical explanation, but further thought left me not so sure. I thinnk the Nitro result is explained by MxNitro not being recognized at all so it falls through to Chrome. But the M4 result leavesme puzzzled how Peacekeeper is identifying Maxthon when it comes after Chrome.

    NOTE: I have never logged into Peacekeeper to "lock" my results. So don't expect to find my resuylts on the site. But Maxthon4 sesems to preserve the results separately ... if I'm connected in the same way as the previoous tesst But the reulsts do not get preserved among different installations of the browser.

    Thanks for the explanation. I ddi discover one counterpoint today though. I ran a Peacekeeper test with MxNitro and the site told me I was using Chrome /35.0.1849.0 even though it was in second place after McNitro and beffore Safari.

    This suggests to me that the order doesn't count much, only the presence of a recognized browser. Thoughts?

    Question for my information: Why is there "QupZilla/1.6.6" in the string? I've never heard of such a browser ... but I'm not surprised by that. My question is does it ever make a difference?

    EDIT: Nevermind ... I found my answer in Wikipedia and Sourceforge ... at least the "What is it?" part.

    However I still wonder if it ever makes a difference? Particularly in light of the point made above about putting Chrome first so the browser would be identified as Chrome, not Maxthon ... If this is the case, why bother with a string containing more than one browser if the first one is the only one that counts?

    Adding referesh (and favorites) buttons is easy. They arein the skin code but just hidden. I've restored thm in my verrsion and added back the Quicktools Configure button only. I don't want to waste toolbar/tabbar space by enabling any of the QTs, but they are all easily accessible from the configure menu.

  17. Dr. Wang, have you finished doing the modifications you wanted to do for the Maxthon_Bing_dark skin? I'd like to see it, if you havel. If not or if you've moved to other projects .... OK.

    Thanks for the beautiful Maxthon_Bing_light skin. I have made some modifications to it. The most important of which is adding translucency to the bars.l See the following code;

    html, body {

    background: transparent;

    border: none;

    }

    .tabbar, .favbar, .statusbar, .sidebar {

    background-color: #f5f5f5d4;

    }

    Copy the code... ADD TO SKIN.CSS.

    With thanks to BSD (大笨狗) for the hint.

    You are welcome. To save your time, you can add following 2 lines to skin.css

    Thanks, the code works but I'm going to boost the alpha for more diffusion. As it is the text is hard to read. It's just nicelyl readable at "cc".

    I played and have settled on "eeeeeedd" as the best approximation to my inspiration, Safari for OS X Yosemite.

    Thanks, I had to go refresh my memory on the Chinese forum. I remembered downloading Glass.mxskin but not who the author was. Turns out it was you. I didn't like the transparency, so I did a mod t make the toolbar, sidebar, and statusbar backgrounds translucent. I does work in your skin rather well, but now I have to review what I did and try to port it into Dr. Wang's Maxthon Bing skin. that last step has been a stumbling block, maybe due to not having transparent background for the icons (something I need to check.)

    Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.

    Thanks, 大笨狗, for the informstion. Saves running down a dead end. ;))

    Now to a less ambitious end, what background (or other element) should I look to change to make the toolbars (navbar/tabbar, stastusbsar) translucent with more diffusion than Win7 Aero provides? I thikk I know what property to look to to deal with sidebar transparency. But the toolbars have escaped me.

    Dr. W.Wang,

    You mention in the referenced post that you just modified the background image for the Main Menu. I found the MENU_BG.PNG and have tried unnsuccessfully to apply it to the nav+tab toolbar in Maxthon_Bing_Light skin. I'm trying to get both the toolbar and the sidebar some transparency in their basckgrounds so that the items behind the Maxthon window show through slightly as Maxthon's window content does through the Main Menu and other.

    My eventual goal is to find a way to overlay the toolbar and, when visible, the status bar on top of the web page content. I'm thinking the z-numbers may help do this, but am not sure. That's one property I haven't played with.

    Do you have any ideas sto suggest?

    <>

  22. Dr. Wang,

    I know the pictures in your screen shots are too large to upload here, but do you have links to where the images can be downloaded, wherever your source was.

    Or, what are the names of the places shown? That could be useful to doing s search for images.

    Nothing I'cve tried has come close to anything like the ones you have.

    I moved the quicktools to the statubar at first, but I find it is not good, so I hide it, I also ...

    When you said you hid the QuickTools on the status bar, I followed your lead and found them and unhid them. The only tool I had checked at the time was Translate, but it did not show on the status bar. Then I realized I only needed the QuickTools menu, not the icons ... so now it's just the QT popup menu and I have access to all the QTs.

    This menu could be on the navbar too.

    I added Favorites back into the nab-buttons group; I need that menu in lieu of the favbar. I tried a vertical favbar similar to what tony uses, but didn't like the rresult.

    As for moving the status bar items to the tabbar, I don't think so. I can live without the statusbar items since most of them are present elsewhere.

    As a second most favored option what I'd like to see is an autohide horizontally scrolling tabbar that does not require left/right buttons for scrolling, but usies mouse gestures to scroll the tabbar left and right. But this is a second choice because it does add a second bar, even though audohiding gets it out of the way. Also I don't know if the mouse gesture capability can do this.
