Chromium update plans?

Post by peter_h »

Are there any current plans to update the version of Chromium in MM5 anytime soon?

Here's why I ask:

I'm currently attempting to create a new skin, and using CSS, I'm unsuccessfully trying to select an "unidentified" parent element (safely and uniquely, without potential of selecting anything else in the app), e.g.

Code: Select all

<div>
   <label data-id="h_ZP">SomeLabelHere</label>
</div>
Above, I'm wanting to select the <div> preceding <label>, so that I can change it's display from it currently-styled-from-elsewhere block to inline block, so it no-longer forces the next text block onto the next line.

Seemingly, the solution to this is to use the :has() pseudo-class: e.g. div:has([data-id="h_ZP"]) {display:inline-block};

However, this is only available (apparently) from v105 of chromium. The current publically-available version is v110. Our current version, v98, was released back in Feb 2022.

Thanks for the reply! :)

**If you're wondering why I'm still on MM4: It still has more useful-to-me plugins; and I prefer the GUI's responsiveness, panes spreadable over multi-monitors flexibility, and predictability (all coz it's more Windows-native). I also hate "flat design" for its visual inefficiency. For me, MM4's benefits are still > MM5, and MM5's downsides < MM4. There still appears to be way less MM5 plugins -- even after all this time. MM5 docs for plugin developers seem very undeveloped to me -- which makes me uninclined to invest into learning how to improve MM5 for my own wants.

It wouldn't be for MediaMonkey 2024, but it is using version 123. It's nearing a release, so changes like that won't be done anymore.

The Chromium version in V2024 was updated in Build 3018 on april 26, 2024.

It does not say which version was used, but I am quite sure it is newer than V105.

Oh, that's great news. :)
I got my outdated v98 info from Jiri's "MM5 Developer (and skinning) API" intro page, at...
https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewt ... um#p410080

Perhaps edit the info there, to include how to check the version number of Chromium in MM...?

You should be good using the new css standards to create/adjust a skin.
If you have problems with those feature, post the errors you get trying the do the things you want to achieve.

Thanks, updated the version # there.

As for the real-time info, will think about the best way where to place it or a way how to retrieve it.
