New version of ShellOn! This is a release candidate: rc1. With these release candidates we are moving towards a final release. The feature set is now frozen for version 3.0. Please send in bug reports!

As a test of ‘just what happens when you do it?’, I’ve set the minumum font size of my browser to 12px. Many sites, including dx13 itself, use font sizes smaller than this. For example, the font used for the tabs above are size 10px. This means that they are now appearing larger than when I originally designed them. Fortunately on this page, it doesn’t make much difference to the layout.

In a shock development, I am not trying out the development (read: gtk2) version of Galeon, the Gnome Gecko-based browser. Of course, the rendering engine is virtually flawless, however, I remember using the stable flavour a while back and finding the interface rather lacking. Not having the two side-by-side I can’t exactly pinpoint the reason for this. I would expect anti-aliased fonts have something to do with it. Also I think the devs must have changed the way the tabs work, as I remember them annoying me in the way that they worked last time, but now they seem fine. They are much more similiar in workings to the Opera tabs, which of course endears me towards them.
