@Gwen-Dragon said in Vivaldi logos:
And … I see, your files have no antialiasing (alpha mask), the curves look have steps. If you need antialiased curves you should not use a reduce color palette, better is 24bit-Palette.
Guess I showed my ignorance of graphics and antialiasing, I believe it's like MS ClearType? The colour palette was 24bpp, and I am always using Irfanview. But antialiasing is not the problem. it should really be done as SVG. but don't have the time to learn SVG graphics. Although I have Inkscape and Gimp installed as well.
Also didn't like the jagged edges, but the images are meant to be taskbar/panel icons, so it doesn't really matter (my rational).

I love the colors of that image, haven't looked at what the color codes make for a scheme yet.
Long live colorz. I mean, I got the theme with pywal and colorz.
Did you do a hue shift on the greens?
Nope.
That traffic light looks blue, but I'm on a small screen right now; I'll look again when I'm at my desk and have a calibrated display to render the colors.
Looks blue to me as well.

PS - What is Artix Linux? I'm guessing it's a derivative of Arch, based on the logo.
Yup.
…how do you like it?
Not yet. I was looking for a Manjaro replacement and I’m still in the pre-install phase.
Is it more than Arch with an installer? That seems to be a common theme among Arch-based distros.
Its main focus is on non-systemd init systems (though it’s still more like the ‘I use Arch, btw.’ for me; I’ll have to find out more).

I am known because I don't have much patience, I am doing my best here.
You are right, I do not care of any "spirit". What I care is the reason why old "themes" aren't possible any more. It is because Firefox proceeded removing as much as possible of XUL, that was a sort of markup language that originally was meant to allow people to build "Web applications" with it.
Probably because of the failure of Firefox OS, Mozilla gave up with the idea of developing a "platform" to fall back to "just a browser" idea, which basically means to carve a niche out of Chrome market share, not caring of Chrome OS or Android. They also semi-abandoned Thunderbird for this reason, to concentrate on the browser only. Note that it implies Mozilla accepting to be a small competitor in a market dominated by Google.
Now when you fork a code base you have two options. You don't touch it and it keeps going until it works or you try to import changes from the other "branches". We aren't speaking of few lines of code, browsers are the most complex software ever, millions line and several areas nobody even remembers why they are there. More time passes, more difficult it becomes to sync diverging branches, plus since Firefox dropped many areas of the old code base not only because of XUL but also because of the substitution of "components" with those from Servo, written in Rust. So all those areas aren't maintained any more, they don't even exist. Not you tell me that guys at Palemoon canlook for and fix bugs Mozilla did not back then on an old code base that is no longer maintained or developed. I don't buy it. What happens is you keep using an old, quite old, version of Firefox and you hope no major flaw is exploited. Which is increasingly improbable, who ever targets a browser that nobody uses? If I was an hacker I would focus on Chrome as first choice and Firefox as distant second option.
I have being using Firefox since ever and I "never encountered a security incident", despite the fact Mozilla asked me to update the browser frequently to fix security issues. Those fixes are ideally released before the security issue becomes a real threat for the "user", not after you "encounter a security incident". It is the same as anything these days. It is the reason I have something to update every day on Ubuntu LTS, last update was the kernel.

CPU limiting should be asked as a separate feature request in the feature request category
There is already a request IIRC. Will try looking for it.
Edit: yup. Here.
@AlohaForever Welcome to the Forum!
You probably should make a feature request or upvote some preexisting similar requests:
Option to detect mobile touch icons instead of thumbnails
Auto Detect Logos + Select Part of the Page for Speed Dial and Bookmark Thumbnails
To help make custom thumbnails more easily, @ematte created a tool that creates thumbnails with the logo of your choosing, centered on a canvas:
Custom Thumbnail Generator for Speed Dials
I personally just use PaintDotNet, a free photo editing program (MSpaint on steroids), with some plugins for alignment and other useful features.
A thread has also been created where other users have shared some of their custom thumbnails:
I'm creating some thumbnails for the Speed Dial, sharing
@baris-sehri said in Which is the best font-set for browsing?:
Cursive is actually script I believe?
There are many different websites, and not all have to use the usual boring fonts just for the sake of legibility.
Imagine a children's story book online. Why not use joined up handwriting like Lucida Script, for example. Even Comic Sans has its uses, though many people hate it.
Websafe Fonts • 10 Best Script Fonts
I published a few: Hari • Mahakampa • Odana
Odana has some nice coloured glyphs.
What is so great about the colours of Chrome? I just looked at a screenshot and the interface seems to be mostly white with a bit of grey on the tab bar.
@Marko-Indaco Cheers! It's one of the mods I use. Instead of putting all the mods I use into a single CSS and single js file, I use a separate one for each, appropriately named, and at the top I create some useful comments for myself including a link to the thread for that mod. I also include the date of the last time I updated the mod on my system which makes it easy to determine if I need to merge any updates the author has posted. File timestamps can be unreliable for that purpose.
PS- If I recall correctly, I'm using theme 2 of that mod. Just personal preference.
@Streptococcus Splash screen is bg of body, window bg is bg of #browser IIRC. But even if they were set to the same node, I think those two topics are different.

@Komposten said in Transparent speed dial thumbs:
You can add your own CSS to do it, see here: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/10549/modding-vivaldi
If you enable vivaldi://flags/#silent-debugger-extension-api and vivaldi://flags/#debug-packed-apps and restart the browser you will be able to right-click the speed dials and inspect them. That way you can find the relevant HTML elements and CSS classes to change.
If someone wanted just a transparent background around the image (but an opaque image), that code would not do that.
