Geckium Public Beta 1.16.1 - Spit and Polish

Welcome to the sixteenth hotfix build of Geckium Public Beta 1!

Important change for new Geckium users

As of Geckium Beta 1.16, Geckium will now automatically customise your toolbar to better fit the intended look and feel you clearly set out to get when you installed Geckium to your Gecko-powered browser of choice. This will only affect users who first use Geckium in this release and onwards, as existing Geckium users will not have their toolbars altered whatsoever as a result of installing this version of Geckium. Below is what you can expect your toolbar to now look like when using Geckium for the first time:

Updating Geckium?

To update Geckium, simply delete your Firefox Profile's chrome folder (use about:support to find your Firefox Profile per the instructions on Geckium's README), and then copy the below Public Beta 1.16 ZIP file's Profile Folder -> chrome folder in its place, before finally closing and opening Firefox. Geckium will handle the rest automatically.

Changes since Beta 1.15

• @angelbruni added a dark empty thumbnail background to Chromium 3's new tab page in d9c2760, f133505
• That Chinese fork of Firefox with no name for Windows 7 will now look normal again, instead of having Firefox's former arbitrary fog, as @dominichayesferen has force-shown the Geckium toolbar-border that it was replacing in 359a5a0
• If you did a fuckie wucky while installing Geckium, Geckium will now make sure you know what you did as well as how to fix your installation of Geckium (assuming said mistake was downloading the wrong copy of Geckium) (@dominichayesferen in f4c81b4 and 22daf96)
• As mentioned in the above headers, @dominichayesferen finally added automatic toolbar layout re-arranging for new Geckium users - this took until now to be implemented as he did not want the solution to destroy toolbar items the user placed on their toolbar prior to them installing Geckium, so time was needed to look into a suitable way of approaching this conundrum - in cd1d08d
• Added Marble's Proton theme option to the Geckium ForkAdjustments Clashing Settings Blacklist (in fda2d95 and 5d83d0b)
• @dominichayesferen decided to go fix the titlebar in Linux being transparent, in c89ab59
• Finally, the "you have no JS patch" error banner is now styled... again. (@dominichayesferen, 2c8958f)

.1

• @dominichayesferen fixed the hacky workaround for detecting if Light and Dark Firefox Themes are recoloured by extensions falsely detecting Marble's modified Light and Dark Firefox Themes as being recoloured by extensions in 2f11ea3 (note: this means Geckium can now support ANY fork's differing browser palettes as long as they report themselves as being a uniquely named fork of Firefox - it just needs adding to the code)
• @dominichayesferen removed Silverfox's migrator's automatic restart as due to 1.16.0's new toolbar preconfiguration feature the toolbar layout no longer needs overwriting by the Silverfox migration code - instead, Pocket is now removed from the toolbar by the migrator - in 97ca4f2
• @dominichayesferen fixed Silverfox's applications list breaking in Geckium if Geckium's transitioned to since the rewritten application-list storage was added to Geckium (in 2b59345)
• Silverfox's Old Look is now Chromium 17 instead of 11 (@dominichayesferen, 2b59345)
• @ImSwordQueen added her forked browser to the settings restriction code that was added to mitigate issues with Marble's additional appearance options in 0c2ff50

Full Changelog: b0.20.15...b0.20.16.1

Geckium is in an Early Beta stage

Non-English-speaking Geckium users may find parts of Geckium's user interface are written in [!!! ƥƨèúδôℓôçáℓè !!!] - this means there hasn't yet been a translation for that string in your language - if you see any, please fork the repository, translate the dtd/properties files in locale accordingly, then send a Pull Request to this repository containing the localised strings!

Aside from having incomplete localisation for non-English Geckium users, please remember that due to Geckium being in an Early Beta state, there are many things missing from Geckium currently, including:

• Material Design 1 (or 58, is incomplete and seriously buggy)
• Floating Bookmarks Bar has a buggy background that is either incorrect or is misaligned with the new tab background
• Misc. Downloads Shelf behaviour such as dragging a download
• Error Pages, such as phishing
• Styling for the Downloads page
• Geckium and Firefox Updates from the About dialog/page (Geckium's current update checker is a placeholder until a better, automated, update experience is implemented in the future)
• Preventing the Downloads popup from appearing when downloading a file

These are all planned to be added in future Beta releases.

Please report bugs in the Issues tab of this repository.
