Ices_Eyes Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Since it seems only some people are able to comment on Maxthon News section, I would post here for QA 1.7 issues. It seems that any time an update is made available for QA something stop working... This time is the time for site icons... In v1.6 when you select a site icon, it was not so good positioned in the qa square related to the site. Now, I have lost icon for ie Facebook tile, but also, if I edit a tile, changing the so called "hot" selection (and why hot I don't know...), I am no more able to select it, so only screenshot or color block option remain availables... Edit: facebook icon come back after removing and readding the tile, but the rest still not working... an example on the screenshot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly for aesthitics. I set all my browsers to open just plain, nothing else. Another reason is the speed. When there are no pages to load, they start faster. To give you an example. Look how nice is my configuration of Opera: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole point of the browser is to browse and do things... if you're not, you may as well close it. I understand everyone does things differently and likes different things, but i just can't get the thought behind this "blank page" concept. It's just so backwards it just doesn't make sense. 11 minutes ago, makper said: When there are no pages to load, they start faster Yes, but when you then have to open up whatever page you want, you still have to wait... so net outcome is that you still waited, but got the bonus of looking at a nice page for 1 second..

makper Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 It is just at the initial start up. It is equivalent to the wall paper on my desktop. But why is this so annoying to implement it? Maxthon 4 had it as a feature, Opera has it by default, Firefox can have it with a skin and Chrome also with a simple extension. Maxton 5 is the single browser I have noticed to resist, it's like forcing the user to have some tiles to open. I use folders on the MaxNote menu for this actions.

Golfmann Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 ll jump in here to say I would REALLY appreciate having the right scrollbar in QA wider on the PC version(s) of Quick Access... Seems to be plenty of room to have it the standard size as the browser itself is. Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we decided to move all of them. And our product manager is thinking about to give users the ability to upload their own local pictures. So that may make it full customizable. So actually, things are going better 17 hours ago, caligula73 said: on http://www.google.com working Yes, it works on some sites, these are preloaded ones.

Maxton 5 is the single browser I have noticed to resist, it's like forcing the user to have some tiles to open. I use folders on the MaxNote menu for this actions. I completely agree to this! I remember when windows 8 firstly came out. It had that metro page loading when booting up pc. Lots of people didn't like that and they were posting (a lot) in forums for a solution to allow them to automaticaly boot into desktop and not on that metro square thing. Here with maxthon, it's almost the same idea. But, apart from that, i really want to know an opinion of some developer. Somebody who develops maxthon, may give some though about it.
