[Skin and background]

Hi Ivanjo,

Thanks for the suggestion. Our developers and designers are working on a more customizable skin center now. The requests you asked above like add your own picture, change the icon shapes, more default backgrounds,  will all be released in future. 

[Why is the extension review process so slow?]

Hi all, our extension center staff will check the updated and new add-ons applications every three days!

[Can't download tutorials]

Hi both, sorry that I don't understand the issue you are talking about. 

What tutorial and where is it? Is there a link for me to have a try?

[How to get your crash data]

When you encounter a crash, if it can be reproduced by some specific steps:

 

Then,

It is highly appreciated that if you can tell us :

• the specific steps that cause the crash;
• The browser version you are using;
• provide us the crash data

 

Ps:  Two methods to get your crash data: 

1. You can press "Win + R" keyboard > run "%temp%" and press "Enter" > find the folder "MaxthonCrashData" > compress the folder and send it to us. 
2. You can also find it directly from the following path: C:\Users\#Your User ID#\AppData\Local\Temp\MaxthonCrashData. The whole complete MaxthonCrashDate folder will be highly appreciated instead of only certain .txt document in it. 

[Why is the extension review process so slow?]

Hi FB Purity maker,

Thanks for posting and thank you 7twenty for reminding me here.

We are really sorry for keeping you waiting so long. It is our honor to have you make and update extension for Maxthon.

Since there's much feedback about extension approval process these days, I'll talk with my coworker about the process and make it a routine. Such as to make it every Tuesday and Friday the approval day. So it's apparent to all. And you don't have to worry and experience the hopeless waiting. 

Also, thank you @A.S. for this proposal in your blog. We'll have an internal meeting this Tuesday about this issue, and tell you our decision then.  

 

Sorry again for the waiting and will let you know our future plan about the approval routine soon!

Thank you Tony for reminding me. I'll check with him/her soon, and during this period I'll hide this post.

Yoyoako has consent on this

So please feel free to share them and also encourage you to the Chinese forum say thank you.

[MX5 skin from Chinese forum]

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 

 

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

Yes, I love that extension on Chrome and have it installed on Chrome, Vivaldi and UC Browser.

Haha, great minds think alike!

I have contacted their staff on Google extension center to see if it's possible to make it available on Maxthon as well, hope they will reply me soon

[Grammarly]

Honestly, before I move to Maxthon I used Chrome.

There is one extension on Chrome that I can hardly forget.

That is Grammarly. 

English is my second language, 

How I wish someone from our community can create a similar extension!

 

[Hide/Show addons and extension buttons]

Hi all,

In my personal opinion, the issue OP said truly needs a solution. 

Whether by adjusting the size of the address bar or by creating an option for add-ons to hide while enabled, needs to be discussed by our product managers. 

I believe they will come out a solution for this problem. 

Thanks for using MX5 and giving us feedback, we won't let you down.

Hi all,

This page is OK now, please help check it out

So am I still beta testing this? How do I make sure I have the latest copy? I filled out the survey and all that.

Hi klear6, which versions would you like to test? PC, Android, and iOS? 

I suppose the survey you refer to is the iOS version?

 

[Sooo do any MX5 skins exist?]

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

what was there has been deleted

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. 

[Sooo do any MX5 skins exist?]

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!

*.mxskin (or *.mx5skin) files

Hi SL, what are these kind of files? Are they skins designed by users?

I hope a gesture to show or hide the sidebar is also being considered.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I'd suggest breaking PC, Android, and iOS releases into separate pages/sections of the main nav.  Then each could have its own (clean, easy to navigate) sidebar of version numbers.

 

Thanks for your suggestion, dear.

But it's quite strange, cause the page shows here like this:

Is that version number for Android correct?

Hi Secret-HQ,

Thanks for asking. The answer is yes, it's correct.

We apply another versioning system for the official release versions, and thus mobile versions are on the same track of PC versions. 

Hope this will help you understand.
