Implement Night mode
-
The changing themes with Scheduled themes feature is good, but there should be total Night Mode that will reduce eye strain during night time using the browser.
Control options:
- Keyboard shortcut/Quick Command to toggle
- Setting to control timing
- Use geo-location to automatically change themes, turn on/off night mode

@CheVe11e_191
also try flux for systemwide gentle "eye-working" -
I second the recommendation for f.lux. It is much better to handle this system wide than on a per application basis.
-
I don't think this is an issue that should be addressed by the browser itself but by the OS or a dedicated app so the blue light filter is universal across the system, not just when the browser is running.
The are apps that do this, as already mentioned. If you are a WIN10 user, this feature is already built into the system. It is called "Night Light" It features an schedule & the ability to set the color temp.
I think apple has implemented something similar too.
-
It would be great to have this built in. I use the Dark Reader extension which works amazingly to smartly invert content: it has shortcut, quick toggle, whitelist and blacklists, and several tweaks. Unfortunately can't set it to auto change on schedule. Similar functionality built in would be extremely good to minimize dependence on extensions.
-
I think inverting colors is way better for reducing eye strain than using a blue filter.
-
I think we don't really need such feature at this point since all Windows 10 machines and some Linux distributions already allow you to switch your system to Night Mode that filters out blue light generated by your monitor. Also, I would like to point out that F.lux is NOT better than Windows 10 night time filter by itself. F.lux allows for better customization but Windows 10 options would be enough for the majority of users, but they both do their primary job (filtering blue light) equally good.
-
I think Night Mode has a variety of ways to understand.
One is to reduce blue light.
A night mode like f.lux or win10 is similar to a yellow mask on the screen.But the other is to reverse the visual tone of the page to suit the color contrast.
Like the Dark reader, it turns out that Google's white pages are converted to dark shades such as black to reduce the visual contrast on night reading.
The effect chart I attached below, you can see, this is a good feature, please support the Vivaldi team to develop and integrate into Vivaldi.

--force-dark-mode --enable-features=WebUIDarkMode

@kuu I like Dark Reader. Getting that functionality without the need for an extension would be great. That behavior, however, is not "Night Mode." I use Dark Reader all the time, so not just at night. I use it on a Win7 machine which doesn't offer dark mode. Thus, having this as an always on option in Vivaldi would be terrific.
BTW, I tried adding "--force-dark-mode --enable-features=WebUIDarkMode" to the command line when starting Vivaldi, as recommend multiple times in these discussions, and they had no effect on the pages I was viewing. Either those options don't work, or they have an entirely different effect than we get with Dark Reader.
-
@poto How do I enable this (where to type the command)? and is this something being worked upon by vivaldi?
-
@Gwen-Dragon But that works only on Windows 10 (and maybe also 8), and not on 7 or other OS, doesn't it?
-
would be great if it get implemended someday
-
Seconding this as a built in future for Vivaldi, It would be a popular feature in my opinion and built in means it will be independent of which OS is running, giving more reliable experience for Vivaldi.

There are also Easy Invert
https://www.wintools.info/index.php/easy-invert (portable)
Those using Windows 7/8 or an older Windows 10 version can also invert the colours on their screen. For this, they need to start Magnifier. The easiest way to do is to use the combination of the Win and β+β buttons. The following settings are needed:
Views: Full Screen
Zoom 100%
To activate/deactivate colour inversion: CTRL+ALT+Iin Vivaldi I use the Dark Reader extension.
In many of the search engines you can also choose dark themes in the configuration (Google, Startpage, DDG, etc.) -
Today (on Windows at least) we have the chrome://flags/#enable-force-dark flag with a several processing variants to choose from.
Works like a charm. Unfortunately the flags editing requires browser to be relaunched. But may be some trick is here? This case it'll be nice to bind it with the theme change schedule in Settings.
-
This would be a great feature, for pc and as well as android. I really don't like to be dependent on extensions, Extensions usually take too much system resources which I don't like at all. An inbuild feature to toggle or schedule dark mode (With an option to exclude websites) will be awesome.
-
@AlokDebnath , I think that if there is already an Invert Filter in the Page Actions menu, it cannot be so complicated to separate this button from this menu and perhaps add the possibilities to configure it and create exception lists.
-
This feature request is marked as "Done", but clearly there's people who think it isn't because only the UI is fixed, not webpages. Can a mod re-activate this thread, perhaps the OP @CheVe11e_191?
And the "(more or less) duplicate" thread linked above by @derDay isn't in the Feature Request forum.
I'd love to increase visibility of this to the devs.
