Bug / Feature - Maximum number of web panels is 16
-
So, if you add 16 web panels the add button will disappear. Is this known as a bug or a limitation?
Also, how can we track the bugs submitted by number?regards,

@maxrunner
I am able to add 17 web panels, though I do note that they can't scroll if you end up going for more than your screen resolution allows, which would make the + button not visible.Solutions could involve changing the zoom level of the browser UI.
If that's not your issue, and the + button indeed disappears after 16 web panels, with plenty of room on the panel bar left, what OS version and architecture do you use?
There also isn't any way of tracking bugs other than pinging a vivaldi team member of community moderator right now.

@lonm Hi! Well im counting 16 web panels but not including the defaults, history,Window, Notes....
I'm using windows 10 on a full hd screen and after the 16 th panel i can't add more. How do i change the UI size? -
@maxrunner If you open vivaldi settings and go to Appearance, you can change it using the user interface zoom settings. Note that this will make everything smaller, not just the panels.
-
@lonm Interesting, you can actually add more panels if you press under the last visible web panel icon, it will bring the add button,but then it will hide these panels if you do anything else and you can't really access them again....
Also, can confirm that using the zoom option it will enable you to add more....but still there's a limitation because there's not a vertical scroll... -
i tried to submit the bug report but i didn't receive any email.
-
@maxrunner I've seen it take a while for bug reports to go through.

@maxrunner There are some problems with that system at the moment. Confirmation emails of all kinds are being delayed, although the data input from users is being received by the team immediately. A fix is being worked on.

Thank you for the answer. It would be nice to know if a bug report was created and we could follow it.

It's funny, I can fit exactly 16 too before the plus button disappears. But before that the settings button, the overlay switch, a custom vivaldi logo and the bookmarks button go out of bounds.
-
It just depends on how much vertical real-estate you have. On my 1200x1600 portrait monitor I can fit many more that 16 with UI Zoom @ 110%

To tell the truth, I want an Opera-style dropdown box.
Side panel takes too much screen space. Especially on a small rez devices, like netbooks. -
@anrdaemon Vote for this feature request:
@epsilonr said in Feature requests for Vivaldi 1.14:
Get panels on address bar.
-
@anrdaemon Somehow i agree with this but i kinda like having them sided too. Add the new option but let us also configure to stay as it is now. Options are good
-
@anrdaemon You should look into custom modification options. I feel it's unlikely Vivaldi will change the panel in such a dramatic way. We have written mods for moving the panel toggle to the address bar, overlaying the panel and showing/hiding the complete panel by hover. One of these mods or a combination of them should satisfy your needs on small screens -- and it's something you have access to right now.

@luetage How do you apply these modifications?
-
-
@luetage Thank you. Will try these. Whats the mod that you use for the web panels buttons? you seem to have more that the standard.
-
@maxrunner No, I made no costumization to webpanels specifically and my webpanels go out of bounds just like for everybody else.
-
Another option would be to simply apply
overflow: scroll
to the panel, which might be a better solution for anyone who comes across this thread and prefers not to have the panel in their address bar.Essentially this:
#switch {overflow: scroll;} #switch::-webkit-scrollbar {display: none;}
Or if you prefer not to hide the scrollbar, this would do:
#switch { overflow-y: scroll; overflow-x: hidden; }
