This month on broken vibecoded slop, they've fucked up which theme extension values map to which parts of the UI despite the API and docs not changing in the past 10 years. Almost all themes now have the wrong low-contrast color for the active tab and omnibar.

This commit refers to the change as a fix https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/d738ec5755b0cdf72c36d825eb1f2e6780e0e287but it's very clearly completely changing the baseline behavior with no justification given. It's pretty clear the point of kColorOmniboxResultsBackground https://source.chromium.org/search?q=kColorOmniboxResultsBackgroundis very different to the point of kColorToolbarBackgroundSubtleEmphasis https://source.chromium.org/search?q=kColorToolbarBackgroundSubtleEmphasisand that the old behavior is correct. The old behavior is additionally what the Material color picker themes use https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:chrome/browser/ui/color/material_omnibox_color_mixer.cc;l=30as was already obvious from the fact that only web store themes broke and not color picker themes. The bug report https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/485258057references a regression incoming since 143 but no behavior changed in 143, I was there. We see the red herring first schizobabbled by the exact asshole that signed off the commit https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/485258057#comment4Absolutely garbage systems and culture.
I want the angled tabs UI back so fucking bad.
>>108552984Treating PRD as the test environment is now standard corporate practice to save money.
>>108552964I don't think laymen should be on /g/.
>>108553207If the bug report is correct then it's a tint, not a color, that needs adjusted in your theme. But I downloaded 130 to check and the bug report is wrong.
I didn't know themes still worked or were still supported. I haven't seen anyone using one since like 2013.

>>108552964OP is made because the shade of grey in his address bar became 10% more light and now he wants to kill himself.
>>108558533it's a lot more than 10%
>>108552909>>108552913Lol does Chrome still not support native transparency from W11 and/or macOS?
>>108561191It dose on Windows 11 albeit behind a flag. Mica. I'm pretty sure it used to support Aero out of the box by default so I'm not sure what's changed in the past 15 years ah hell who am I kidding
On the plus side, allowing extensions access to specific sites is FINALLY working again. That was broken for 2 entire major versions.
>>108553535I just want the tab and address bar to take up less space. It's nearly doubled in the past 3 years and is well more than double what it was back when it was good. Very likely whoever made that decision uses a 16:10 mac and it never crossed their mind that other people might not.
