Squared tabs
Hi, why on windows 10 are tabs squared, but on Windows 7 are smooth? Is there any way how to them squared on Windows 7 also without Stratum? I don´t like black icons of Stratum. (photo from Windows 10 is from modified installation, but on regular Windows 10 it was same)

Re: Squared tabs
It because on Windows 10 windows are square, and on Windows 7 rounded. It's called "theme O.S. integration"

Re: Squared tabs
And, isnt possible to bypass it? Changing compatibility mode to Windows 10 didnt help.

Re: Squared tabs

Re: Squared tabs
no, it isn't.
see e.g. what happens when you try to run 32-bit 33.7.1 on XP.

Re: Squared tabs
I really don't care if they hack compatibility at the OS level. That's throwing even more unknowns in the mix, and I really really discourage anyone running that and especially accessing the internet through a browser in unknown compat state. Exploits are easy if you can coerce binaries into a bad state, and this is just begging for that.
If you want to waste your time on it trying to help, go ahead. You can probably override the style with a UserChrome.css to get square tabs without too much issue but instead of just handing it on a platter I'd ask you reconsider what you're actually doing to (not for) the user.

Re: Squared tabs
Windows Vista extended support will end in 2026 with Windows 7, so i think that it is still a safe system.Moonchild wrote: ↑2025-05-25, 12:06I really don't care if they hack compatibility at the OS level.

Re: Squared tabs
Whatever the case, it's a waste of time for both you and others expecting help here on an unsupported configuration that no one else uses. Ask on whatever forum or other mechanism New Moon offers.
