Ok...I hadnt seen anything in the thread about it not showing correctly in help>about.

Freshly updated Tear on my N800... ooooh

Being able to move the toolbar to the top, remove the scrollbar, start in full screen, and a few other tweaks makes me one happy camper.

Thanks for this update, and your attention to all of our requests.

For me, sometimes :

When the link I tap&hold on is at the bottom of a page, the appearing menu shows it's top at the bottom of the page, and I can't get it up.
( In maemo-browser I get the whole menu visible.)


EDIT :
Known issue ?

With the new (0.3.5-2) Tear I still can't log into Hotmail.
I get into the start page after logging in, but when I click on the E-mail icon Tear seems to search endlessly.
A copy from the url box gets longer the longer I wait until I stop Tear.

A sample :

( At the same time maemo-browser had no problem, I tested back and forth.)
/EDIT



Great upgrade ,
browsing newspapers with many photographs seems much quicker than before ,
"Open file", "Find" , very welcome !

( I'm eagerly looking forward to a future "Save as", maemo-browser isn't to good at that.)

Tear has long been my (almost) only browser !!

1. Time to upgrade Vala.

(In response to http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=481)

After LD_PRELOADing g-inspector into maemo-launcher and having it popup with browser-ui, looking at the Quarks List, I can say that there is no function. But I did notice a shitton of GdkPixBuf references.

So, after some observation, I noticed that the File Manager has the 'Z' icon overlayed, like how MicroB overlays favicons.
Grepped hildon-desktop for "qgn_" and I found /usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/hildon/qgn_indi_bkilled.png. Guess what this icon was? Yep, the 'Z' that it overlays.

Ran the trusty g-inspector and used its Widget Picker on the icon with the 'Z' and it told me that its GType was HNAppButton.

I then grabbed the source to hildon-desktop, grepped for HNAppButton and it pointed me to src/hn-app-button.c

Looked in here and I saw a ton of PixBuf functions that got the current icon and overlayed that 'Z' over it if it found the program to be in a hibernated state.

so basically someone at nokia abused that overlay code to put site icons on top of the browser app icon?

In order to save other less knowledgeable Maemo users like me (haha) from thinking they have a problem reinstall, just FYI -- the bookmark feature will NOT show up until you actually add a bookmark.

I reflashed my N810 and restored my apps/data. Everything except a few apps restored just fine, but I thought one of those bad apps was Tear because it wasn't showing the latest version number on the About screen, and it kept defaulting to the dashboard instead of the homepage I'd previously set, etc. What made me think something was really wrong was that not only were all my bookmarks missing, but so was the bookmark menu option (via the ^ icon). So I was thinking that for some reason it was reverting back to a really old version, likely because of some repository problem. After about two hours of troubleshooting and reinstalling, I realized that it was all good. Oops.

I hope this helps someone else. I guess I also hope that there's someone out there as stupid as me to encounter this problem which automatically makes me less stupid....or at least stupid in a group instead of by myself. Haha.

I did want to report that a reflash and a restore does seem to reset everything associated with Tear -- all my bookmarks and settings were gone. Is there a way I could've avoided that?

@qwerty:

I'm not sure we're talking about exactly the same thing. Maybe you could post a picture. I'm familiar with pixbuf compositing; here's a screen shot of my bookmark menu. Notice how the favicons are overlayed on the "new tab" icon. That's done programatically.



What I wasn't able to figure out was how microb changes the icon in the Task Switcher. Here's another screen shot.

he is quite clearly talking about the latter, as the Z icon he talks about is something that maemo will show if you run the system without swap, and load a lot of apps, as the older ones will get a z on top of them (think the classical cartoon image of someone sleeping).
