@ToKrCZ Could you share a screenshot? Both to check the typography and icon.

New reader controls are cool.

Minor error in the blog post.

Many of you loved this, but righteously complained that it was very easy to accidentally clear your carefully crafted thumbnail by clicking on the reload button.

V is for Vivaldi!

@ToKrCZ Thanks. Ok, so the icon in the UI is correct (the menu icon is slightly different due to scaling), but not in your task bar. Cached graphics perhaps – try a reboot? As for the font's being smaller, I'll need to investigate a bit further.

Ah, superb

@apocalypse: Top of the hit list at the moment are Sync, Mobile and Mail, all of which are in progress now.

Honestly I do like the old icon more than the new one...

Do you realize there is no consistency with the icon that shows in the menu and the one that shows in the taskbar right? One is completely red, the other one has white with red borders.

I would have tried to keep the square form and just make the edges a bit round. While I don't mind rounded borders on the icon, personally I think it's overdone. You rounded it so much that the square looks deformed and it is not a circle either. So now it looks like a TV icon, more like Youtube.

The V was already a bit rounded, so there was no need either to go that hard on the square box. It makes it look cheap, not elegant or professional. Of course when it comes to taste everything is a personal opinion

@karst124: I like the older one better as well.

They should have rounded it like this icon:

But they have overdone the curves.

I've given it a few weeks, but I have to say I still don't like the squircle...

Fan of everything else though!
