Couldn't make mod work

11.3b

I read something in patch notes about changing how mods read user preferences. But I'm slight in impass, as I cn't restrict specific version to specific Zen version, so users who infrquently update Zen (ex. me), will be biten by updating extension then, as it wont't work for then in exchange.

But I still will probably change these prefs, just don't how fast that's gonna land on mod store.

[Kaedriz]

But it should work regardless, I guess?

It work fine on my end on latest 1.11.3b

Probably something not related to the mod itself then, but I don't know what I could do to solve. Tried to disable other mods and use only this one, but wasn't working either. I'll try to figure it out. Thanks for the attention!

You can check about:config, if there are options like these: zen.mods.TabPreviewEnhanced

You can also check mods folder in Zen profile folder. (go to Zen profile folder from ex. about:profiles), then search for folder chrome, that's where the mods lay, folder names acts as IDs, so you will have to check by content which mod is which.

No lucky so far :/
I'm not used to this kinda of thing, been using zen for some months and discovered this extension that I find pretty cool. But somehow it refuses to work with me.

Enable browser.tabs.hoverPreview.enabled in about:config

[Skarslate]

@CeruleanDerpo As showed in the screenshot of my post, this option is already enabled, the mod itself that isn't working for some reason. It still installed but I gave up trying.

my apologies

For some reason in the newer versions of Zen... your preferences that you are specifying to be available aren't being registered, so there is no way to adjust / toggle any of them... and that's why the mod doesn't appear to be working to some people.

If they add any of your prefs manually in about:config though, everything still works fine.

[Kaedriz]

Maybe that's why mod is working for existing users.

I just don't know why they are not registering. Zen changed user pref syntax, but these settings should still be registered, just not used in code.

I will investigate/update soon if I find time.

Maybe that's why mod is working for existing users.

Yeah, it works fine on my install on my main machine, but I just installed a fresh copy of Zen on one of my other machines, and the prefs won't show up anymore.

So it's not the mod itself, it's something they changed with Zen for sure… also noticed it happening with another mod as well.

Maybe it's time someone files a bug over there regarding this.

@Skarslate, do you use the GitHub version or the Zen Mods site version? The Zen Mods site version does not have a preferences.json file which helps maintain settings easily. I also noticed that your sidebar's color is solid brown. The tab preview background doesn't look too much different and I think it could be enabled already. Have you tried switching to a gradient?

[Skarslate]

@CosmoCreeper Hey! Thanks for your insight, about trying to use the GitHub version, How do I do this? I'm not familiar with applying mods from outside of the own Zen mod Store.
And about the solid color, the print made it seem a solid, but is in gradient... and even if it wasn't, the design/look of the tab preview doesn't look at all with the preview showed by the people who has it working normally.
