v13 so far, Material Design UI is not shown/does not work

Post by rprprprpx »

v13.0.6.0

Material Design does not work. (It has not worked since v13 came out. It worked in v12.)

I'm referring to Material Design in the UI of the browser itself. It is as though the Material Design settings are being ignored in favor of SlimJet's own UI look and behavior.

I continue to revert back to v12 as a work-around.

Thank you.

I'm not sure what your looking at when you say it does not work.

If I put chrome://md-settings in the address bar it takes me to the settings for MD and all the settings I have customized are implemented.

Apparently, the removal of Material Design elements is intentional.

From the Slimjet Facebook page on January 17:
Slimjet 13 Beta based on Chromium 55 is now available to download. We spent a little extra time undoing the ugly material UI imposed on Chromium 55. There are a lot of security patches inherited from Chromium 55. The history page has a new look. Other than that, it doesn't look much different from Slimjet 12.
I, too miss some of the Material Design elements and dislike the imposed settings. As in before version 13, let us make the decision and honor all the settings flags. Please.

Sooo Slimjet devs think Material UI is ugly. I guess they haven't seen their own UI lol....

Perhaps I should just go with Torch and be done with it....
