5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
“In addition to fixing bugs and enabling features like full-page zoom and autoscroll, the new version also enables some nifty CSS features: - CSS gradients - CSS canvas drawing - Partial implementations of CSS reflections and CSS masks - Form Autocomplete. Google Chrome remembers what you've typed into fields on web pages. If you type in the same form again, it will show any previous values that match what you've typed so far. You can disable Form autocomplete on the Minor Tweaks tab of the Options dialog. (Note: this is like the basic form autocomplete available in Firefox or Internet Explorer. It is not the same as the form fill feature in Google Toolbar.) - Full-page zoom. Previously, page zoom (Ctrl++ or Ctrl+-) increased or decreased only the text on a page. Zoom now scales everything on the page together, so pages look correct at different zoom levels. - Spell-checking improvements. You can now enable or disable spell checking in a text field by right-clicking in the field. You can also change the spell-checking language by right clicking. To enable spell-checking in a language, add it to the list of 'languages you use to read web sites' in the Fonts and Languages dialog ([Wrench] > Options > Minor Tweaks > Fonts and Languages). Note that Google Chrome doesn't have spell-checking dictionaries for every language you can add to this list. - Autoscroll. Many users have asked for this and (thanks to our WebKit update), we now offer autoscrolling. Middle-click (click the mousewheel on most mice) on a page to turn on autoscroll, then move the mouse to scroll the page in any direction. - Docking dragged tabs. When you drag a tab to certain positions on the monitor, a docking icon will appear. Release the mouse over the docking icon to have the tab snap to the docking position instead of being dropped at the same size as the original window. Docking positions are: Monitor top: make the dropped tab maximized. Monitor left/right: make the dropped tab full-height and half-width, aligned with the monitor edge. Monitor bottom: make the dropped tab full-width and half-height, aligned with the bottom of the monitor. Browser-window left/right: fit the browser window and the dropped tab side-by-side across the screen. Browser-window bottom: fit the browser window and the dropped tab top-to-bottom across the screen. More Chrome 2.0 pre-beta details are on page 3, please read on. |
