Squared tabs

Unread post by mopskarel » 2025-05-24, 18:48

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)

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

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

But i see that on Windows 98 (New Moon) they are too smooth, on Vista too (but there it has to be) (official build), on XP i dont remember.

But on XP and Vista is possible to run official build, and i think on XP it too isnt squared (but i know, they aren supported).

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

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.

Windows Vista extended support will end in 2026 with Windows 7, so i think that it is still a safe system.

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.
