do you actively keep track of them or are they just there as sort of bookmarks? i have a lot in mine but 90% are things to keep an eye for later, i have them in their own tab and they are archived so i dont get that many notifications lol
The majority are like bookmarks as you say. Just before the month+ of not checking, I went through Latest Updates almost daily and added everything that looked remotely interesting. It's all your fault (or whoever came up with the blazing fast update checking method). :p Before that I never would have tracked so many. :LOL:

really tho, i heavily suggest using tabs. best solution imo is having tabs for each main type of game you actually have installed and separate those out, then keep the default tab for bookmarks. can also change it to say "New" as the tab name in the tab settings section for tabs, thats what i have. once you have separated what you care about, you can just ctrl+a in the default/new tab and rightclick>archive. then when you add new stuff as a bookmark, it goes in that tab by default, and its at the top since its not archived, then you can choose to move it to one of the active tabs if youre interested in it right then, or just archive it.

Unfortunately imgui, atleast the version we're currently using, doesn't let us change tab order. Tabs are fully handled by imgui, f95checker just retrieved what tabs exist and use the list for the "move to" menu. Maybe there could be some way to trick imgui into changing order, but that would likely take a lot of effort and I don't feel like investing that much into it when pyimgui is basically almost dead. The maintainer doesn't have enough time to work on it anymore, and those bindings are done by hand, so it's using a few years old version of imgui iirc. I plan to switch to imgui bundle, another module binding imgui for Python, which generates bindings automatically, means code will need lots of rework and will feel less pythonic, but atleast it will use new imgui versions and still get updates. When that switch is done, I'll try to look into reordering tabs
Or maybe, I'll even end up rewriting f95checker in another language: Python is too slow to make immediate mode GUIs efficiently, so it uses a decent amount of CPU
One way you could semi do this is by giving us a duplicate tab option. This way we can recreate the tabs with the exact same settings in order we want than move all games to the new tab.
I use dark mode, myself. Use the Style tab. Edit: I don't remember how I set it up; it's been so long since I did.

OK you seemed to have missed that color edit as I tried all of them but no change.

How to change the tag background color can't read the text.

View attachment 4801710
All similar "framed text" like the labels and tags I believe use a method to change the color text to white or black based on the color of the "frame", so it remains readable. Looks like I forgot it here for the version, where it just uses the default text color. Will fix this.

I have since implemented tab reordering, it is in latest beta. It required an ugly workaround, but it works surprisingly well and feels natural to the user

macOS login problem...

every time I try to use this app, I get a blank login window (see attachment)
View attachment 4199932
any suggestions?
I'm having the exact same issue, down to the same screenshot, and your post was the only one that matched my search (macos login blank). I read several pages after that but no one answered.

2021 Macbook pro with apple silicon (M1).
I can't launch the app from the Applications folder, it just sits there until a Force Quit.

If it's moved to a folder other than Applications, I can use the "right cick -> open" and it does open fine, btu when I want to do the initial import of watched threads, I get the same blank login box popping up over the main window exactly as you do.

Anyone have a solution?

My laptop runs linux natively in its terminal. Yours runs.... DOS.

;)
i hate to be that guy but no, not at all. macos and most operating systems made by apple run on the XNU kernel, not the Linux kernel. both are unix-like, but neither are unix and both are very different from one another.

and as much as i hate windows and microsoft, saying its still DOS under it is a low blow and just wrong, its the NT kernel under the hood and it would even be a respectable kernel, if it werent tainted by the shit that microsoft makes it run in userspace.

what you *can* do is actually install linux on your mac, even if it is apple silicon there is asahi linux that in many cases is even ready for daily driving, especially on M1 as it has had the most time to get support developed for it.

this has been a known issue for some time, pyqt webengine just doesnt want to work on macos when packaged as a single binary bundle. you can try running it from source if youre that kind of guy, that should solve it. unfortunately i cannot debug or fix it as i do not have a mac, and running both f95checker and pyqtwebengine in a virtual machine is impossible as there are no opengl drivers in virtualized macos.

the issue is all in showing the webpage for logging in. as of version 11+ you can use the app fully without logging in. but importing from bookmarked threads on f95zone of course needs logging in. if you add games by hand, you can work around it by not needing to log in.

if you need to login, then you could grab your login session cookies from your browser and manually add them to the db.slqite3 file in the app's config folder, in the cookies table.
