[Chrome] Options window, too small and cannot be resized #685
5 participants
What version of Chrome?
The options are supposed to open in its own tab. It's not what I see in the pic. Try accessing the options by clicking the title bar in uBlock's popup UI.
See this comment.
@gorhill I think the "fix" looks broken (I know it isn't). http://prntscr.com/63ital that does just look like CSS is missing in my opinion.
I use the browser CSS (chrome_style below):
"options_ui": {
"chrome_style": true,
"page": "options_ui.html"
}
The chrome_style doesn't change a lot: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/5b6cdc6c/extensions/renderer/resources/extension.css#315 (only inputs). I'd recommend the following change: Add http://i.imgur.com/oQB3Xmn.png behind every link, so the user recognizes he should click to open in a new tab and the UI is not broken. (Icon from here: http://svgicons.sparkk.fr/ 2nd set)

Then I think you should open an issue with Chromium if you think their CSS needs re-design.
That's not the problem here... it's this one:
- User right clicks the icon, select "Options"
- new tab is opened with a few underlined words with bullets in front of them instead of the normal options page => What he thinks now is "something is broken, as I can see the options but only the headlines of the tabs". An icon which shows "if you click here it opens a new tab with the full settings displayed" solves that. (see suggestion above)
Isn't it obvious these are links to be clicked?
It's Chromium which is forcing the hand of extension developers: any extension which has setting UI pages which do not fit their little embedded widget have not choice but provide a set of links to the real setting UI pages.
Those links are rendered using the browser CSS, just like whatever else on chrome:// pages, so I fail to see why it suddenly becomes confusing when the same CSS rendering is used by uBlock.
I have the same issue. This is why I call the Dashboard from either uBlock's toolbar button -> popup's title area, either from a simple bookmark to chrome://ublock/content/dashboard.html
As an alternative.
@Deathamns Good idea, works well. Can you check-in changes in master?
That solution is great (and I don't wanna be that guy, but to be HTML5 valid a head-element is needed with an title element (it can be a space though))
<!doctype html>
<head>
<title> </title>
<script src="js/vapi-client.js"></script>
<script src="js/vapi-common.js"></script>
</head>
Actually, I have a simpler fix: to just use a <meta> redirect.
@kurtextrem I know, I just didn't care, since the browser can handle it.
@gorhill <meta> - How would that work? With <meta> the page will be redirected, but still in that popup.
@Deathamns never mind, I thought it worked, looks like I just tested it using your code. Duh me.
I just installed uBlock but the options window is very small and difficult to use. I cannot resize it only scroll the content, and I cannot see all the tabs.
I disabled all the other extensions in Chrome (x64, Win8.1) and restarted and it's still the same.
