Despite the size difference, the *close window* icon seems to act on the same object as the history icons.

folders! great, and what happen when you click it? a popup? or an effect like when you click a thumb in google images? (how is that effect called ??)

You're turning midori into a much more beautiful web browser than all the popular ones. Very nice work.

You might want to check the alignment of the top toolbar since by my reckoning all the UI elements are 2 pixels too low. Love the history icon But I feel the whole thing could be a little lighter.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ah you're totally right. I don't know what happened there. Any suggestions about the lightness?

I'm not sure, but the whole thing needs more contrast.

(I love elementary but i think that you don't use enough retractable side panel)

Su much work for Midori, and must of us are going to replace it with Firefox / Chrome !
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope, I prefer Midori, looks better and it's very simple, and I don't like Firefox in Linux

Looks great Dan.
What was the thinking behind making the book marks bigger on resizing the window instead of showing more bookmarks of the same size? I mean obviously to see the stuff better, but usually when I or anyone maximises the screen they expect to *see* more stuff.

I think we do need to cap at some sane size though. If you have 500 bookmarks, that's a lot of tiles. It's overwhelming. Our user testing for Slingshot showed that anything larger than a 5x4 grid all the sudden became harder to browse. So I think it'd make sense to cap the grid at the same size here and then start paging.

I think there should be a distinction between bookmarks and speed dial like in Safari and Chrome, a person may have 500 bookmarks but only visit 20 sites regularly, so those 20 sites could be in a speed dial interface and the other bookmarks in a menu....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's currently how it's done
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
In which case paging seems over the top to me. Btw one feature that I love in the Safari Top Sites is the little blue folded page effect that appears when any of your top sites have been updated. Any chance of something similar being included in Midori.

Oh I always wondered what that was about. We'll have to figure out how to do that, because that is very nifty.

Yh i think thats sensible. Sounds awesome dude.

Great update! If this and the visual history get implemented, Midori will have the best history and bookmarks of any browser.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
now you've changed it! I just made an elementary theme for fast dial in firefox based on your previous midori speed dial 
this new mockup would fairly easy to implement with an addon. but for midori I think you should have a solution for users with a lot of organised bookmarks, I have 50 at least.

Hey very cool.
Yea I was thinking about trying to beef it up so it's not just a Speed Dial but a real bookmark manager. I just haven't gotten around to all that yet

there is an old mockup by chawsum called New tab mockup for marlin, has some ideas on this issue.

Do you think its just a little inspired by Opera's look *sarcasm*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I searched for "Opera Look" a second ago thinking that was a product xD
I'm actually not an Opera user, so no lol. I think I've used Opera maybe once or twice a long time ago.

Would there be a limit in the other direction (ie I have a 1080p monitor, and 9 screenshots (3x3) would be a ridiculous size, or more shots but taking all the space could seem overwhelming. What do you think?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yea, that's a good point. I think we could re-use our slingshot testing and cap at a 5x4 grid and then start paging.
Thoughts?

Also cap the size if they scale, since anything larger than 1200px wide is too big also.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
This is cool, I did a youtube mock-up similar to this for Firefox Home Tab concept. I'd love having this in a scrollable view for all of my open tabs, I tend to open up a lot and this would be a really easy visual way of navigating them when I'm looking for something.

How to change the number of tiles in the speed dial?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
With the add tile 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, I mean like if there were 6 bigger tiles instead of 12 smaller ones.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, the tiles should indeed scale to fill the available space. At the moment (in the mockup) they do not.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ok, so say I have 6 tiles total (3x2 arrangement). 5 of these are pages I've added and I can click on them to go to a web page. 1 is the "Add Page" tile, so if I click that and add a new page, how do the tiles arrange themselves now?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Probably depends on the shape of your window, tbh. But this is more minor implementation detail than serious design question.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe a better way to put it is: There will always be a "Add a Page" tile visible, correct?
And yeah, this isn't really design, just wondering how this is going to work.

I don't think this is the place for bug reports, but for the record i get the same issue...

you are right, where i give bug report for midori? Twotoast web site? Or lauchpad?

I use elementary OS, Midori version 0.3.5 but too slow and crash this sites (omg ubuntu,webupd8) and include flash sites

You most likely need to update your version of webkit.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
if you're on Ubuntu you can use the webkit PPA, if you're on elementary OS you should get the update in update manager.

Midori rocks but too slow such as omg!ubuntu, webupd8 sites

You probably need to update your webkitgtk install
