I have some problems with the Tabs inside my Chrome Browser which I use in my VMWare (Windows 10). They are almost transparent. It's ok on darker Websites but unreadable on light ones.
Things I tried already:
reinstall Browser
set back Appearance of Windows (VM) and of Browser
delete all extensions (maybe they are the cause for this
setup a whole new VM
tried several Designs (Windows and Browser)
nothing turned them back visible. I'm out of ideas. Anyone know a solution?
Thanks

I recently encountered a strange behavior in my Google Chrome browser.
Images appear pixelated and broken, but they appear on screenshots and get scrolled so it must be the browser and not my laptop. For example, google search:
Search icons get something like...distorted? Has anyone encountered that and maybe knows how to fix this?
Here's a work around: go to chrome://flags and disable GPU Rasterization.
You can use this link: chrome://flags/#enable-gpu-rasterization to get there.
Thanks to https://piunikaweb.com/2022/02/24/google-chrome-images-distorted-pixelated-after-latest-update-for-some/ for the tip
Same here. Not only icons but some large images as well
Ctrl+refresh seem to solve it
enter image description here
Turning off [GPU rasterization] and [hardware acceleration] is worked for me.
(Windows 10 + Chrome v101.x)
Turning off GPU rasterization
Go to chrome://flags
Select 'Disabled' right side of 'GPU rasterization'.
Restart browser.
Turning off hardware acceleration
Go to chrome://settings/system
Move switch off 'Use hardware acceleration when available'.
Restart browser.
So what confused me recently is that my chrome started appearing a black border under the bookmark bar of the browser.It happens whenever I open my chrome and maximize the window.Even restart the chrome it still appear.It looks like:
You can see the black border is too thick(just compare it with your chrome).
Only when I reduce the window size will it disappear.It looks like:
I have thought it might have something to do with CSS but I can't get any information from the dev tools.I have also turned to chrome community forum for help.Although there is someone alse who met the same problem,none of them know the cause.
Any ideas what might be causing this?Is it a bug?
Version: Google Chrome79.0.3945.79 (Official Build) m (64-bit)
OS: win10
what happens when opening another page? does it show it there?
Try changing the theme to black or another. see what results you get.
If it is related to google homepage only, then it's possibly something to do with getting viewport size and then the related scaling logic.
So I was using Chrome and IE together when all of a sudden Chrome decides to change its zoom level not only for the webpage, but the entire browser. I'm not sure if it happened when I restarted Chrome or if it happened when I decided to bring it to the front. So basically, all menu items, logos, icons, absolutely everything appears to have been zoomed in slightly. I have restored to original settings, disabled extensions (I don't use any extensions anyways), uninstalled and reinstalled, and nothing.
I've used the DPI settings in the properties of the Chrome application and nothing changes it. I've changed scaling in Windows and nothing helps.
Everything is larger in Chrome now and it's driving me crazy. Many menu items won't appear fully because of this. Note that this isn't just at the webpage level but at the entire browser level. I've included some images so you can compare. If you look at the youtube homepage, you'll see that everything is larger in Chrome than it is in Internet Explorer.
Scratch that apparently I need reputation in order to post pictures, ugh. If I can get 10 rep soon I'll post some pics.
I'm sorry if my description is rather vague but this isn't something I could search up. No other programs (including IE) are having this issue. THanks very much in advance if anyone can help. This is just driving me crazy.
No, Ctrl + 0 obviously does not work. This is an issue with the program as the entire program looks zoomed in. Everything, not just the webpage.
Found a "quick fix" solution from post #38 here:
Right click on the Chrome link on your desktop
Choose Properties and then add " /high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1" to the existing Link to your path to chrome.exe.
Hope this works permanently. What a hassle.
If you're experiencing a "zoomed in" browser it's because you have an updated version of Chrome. Chrome and FireFox now adjusts the page zoom level according to your Windows settings to better support high DPI displays. For example, if Windows is set to 125% font size (120dpi), the content area will be zoomed by 25%. This is usually the default setting on your computer.
This means that your updated Chrome and/or FireFox browser will automatically set websites to 125%, and all other browsers remain at 100%.
What are possible solutions?
As of this writing, their isn't a known method of fixing this from a web coding standpoint, due to that it's created from the inner workings of the browser. That being said, their are still some things you can do from the "users" side to fix this:
The quickest way around this is to open up your browser and press on your keyboard "ctrl -" (control minus) twice. This will set your website content to 75%, which would be equivalent to 100% in all other browsers (but this will just fix the website content).
You can set your computers font-size settings in your control panel to "100%". This will make all of your computer fonts smaller.
I'm sure their is a better answer to this, but for now these are the 2 options that I'm seeing. In FireFox version 22 they also added this feature (as mentioned above), you can see the work around for FireFox here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/962979
I'm sure a similar solution also exist with Chrome.
You can change your windows default zoom to 100% in display settings and make everything almost unreadable, or (a better way)
You can add a start parameter to your chrome shortcut:
"your-chrome-dir\chrome.exe" /high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1
I know, it's too late, but just in case someone else has this problem...
When I bring up the dev tools in Chrome Canary, it just appears as a black box. I have it set to display in another window rather than overlaying the actual page, but as said, the inside of this window is just black. If I hover the mouse over it, it highlights the elements on the page accordingly.
I have tried: Looking for settings to dock it back into the screen, restarting CC, restarting my computer, reverting to default settings in the CC menu. None of this has changed a thing unfortunately.
EDIT: Has been resolved with update to version 33.0.1707.0
Same thing happened to me, starting sometime in the past two days. I tried everything you did and also tried reinstalling Chrome Canary, no dice. My solution was to dock the developer tools back to the main browser window by clicking in the upper-right corner of the black box, where I think the dock icon usually is.
I'm running Ubuntu (12.04.1 LTS) using VirtualBox (4.1.14) on a Windows 7 host machine. It seems that, using Chrome (21.0.1180.89), CSS transformations are causing the browser to lock up in a strange fashion.
This can be tested using this page: http://benmurden.com/css3test/css3test.html
In short, it looks like the "content area" of the browser, that is, anything apart from the URL bar, tab list etc. stops rendering during or after a CSS transformation and becomes "stuck" on top of every other open process. I can still close the offending tab or the browser itself since that area of the browser is fully responsive. I can even switch to another process and it will be partially visible under the "stuck" content area on top of it.
I meant to take a screen cap to demonstrate this particular effect but after locking up Chrome in this way and switching to a text editor behind it, only the text editor was fully visible on the screen cap and the locked-up Chrome was nowhere to be seen. This leads me to believe this might be a problem with VirtualBox rather than Chrome itself. Then again, there is someone sitting next to me with a nearly identical setup: Same type of machine running Chrome on Ubuntu using VirtualBox with identical versions of those three and he does not experience this issue.
I am unable to reproduce this on any other browser and host/guest combination I'm currently using. Those are:
Firefox (15.0.1) on Ubuntu
Firefox (15.0.1) on Windows 7
Chrome (21.0.1180.89) on Windows 7
Please let me know if there's any other information I could supply that would be of use.
Thanks!
