The chrome, redesigned. Eight turns of a design study went in: one material
with every number reachable, four seams between the chrome and the page with a
transition each, a new tab page that greets you rather than briefing you, five
pages for when a page will not load, and a first run that explains itself.
Zervo's own preset changed with it, to the arrangement the browser was actually
tuned in.
Please break it
0.5.0 is the shape; 0.6.0 is the polish, and between them the useful thing is
to be told what is wrong. Open an issue
for anything — a corner that does not match, a preset that reads badly on your
display, a crash, a page Servo cannot render that this browser fails to explain.
Say which preset, which theme and which layout you were in. The four defects
fixed in the days before this release were each only reproducible in one of them.
Five presets ship. Zervo, the default, is the finished one; Candy, Flat,
Liquid Glass and Material came out of the same study, are offered beside it, and
are still being tuned.
What is in it
- One material, every number reachable.
zervo://settings→ Appearance has
one control per named field — fill, sheen, blur, the edge, the corner scale,
the glow, the settle time, how far the accent reaches — and a specimen pinned
under the title that is the real chrome rather than a picture of it. - The seam is one setting with four steps, and each step brings the
transition its own geometry implies: a card recedes, a tint defocuses, a
framed page slides, a page under floating glass travels up. - Full-page mode on ⌘S, beside the sidebar and the bar.
- A new tab page that greets you — the hour, one field, the session you
actually left, the three sites you use. The board of thirteen cards is still
one press away. - Five
zervo://pages for when a page will not load, including a crash
page that now actually arrives, andzervo://unsupported, which names the
engine gap rather than blaming the browser. - The window's corners are the platform's, which is where the doubled
corners came from.

from the same tag and are untested — reports from either are especially useful.
