Spinner during page load – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1435.4

Some feedback for the loading spinner:
Other web browsers differentiate between "Looking up" and "Downloading the webpage", would be nice to have that too
I agree with this too. It would be nice to have the look up spinning and maybe have the downloading shown as a circle that fills up as the page completes being downloaded.
-
I'm not sure when this made it in, but THANK YOU so much!
Hugs and kisses to y'all devs!
-
@g_bartsch It was in the First 2.3 Snapshot
-
@Pesala Thanks! I had begged for it a few times in the past. It is very welcome.
-
P.S. And thank you for the spinner. These 'little' additions make a big difference.
-
Good job Vivaldi team!
As you never stop improving, it would be nice to have a spinning favicon instead of just loader spinner.
Some time ago @Isildur made the favicons on tabs to spin. It was very nice while it worked...
-
@ruario First you guys left the RSS tab in the settings, now you've left a Calendar tab in the settings. I like those little teases.
-
Action Center Notifications are still broken (only for Vivaldi) in Windows 10 1809.
-
Thanks. That's what I was looking for.
I am using a dark background theme and the spinner is a bit too bold/blurry or something when the active tab is loading - it looks much neater looking on background tabs. Doesn't really worry me, I'm just glad to have it at all, but you did ask us to say what we think.
(I see someone else (LonM) mentioned this too, as being a pale shadow under the pale spinner, and that's probably what it is.)
-
I had 9 pinned tabs, after the update 4 tabs were gone, other tabs were ok.
Vx64 standalone W8.1 x64beside this: thanks for the spinner!
-
@g_bartsch: Thank you for bringing this up. Didn't notice earlier.
-
Spinner doesn't work on my machine.
Nothing is spinning - there is just some icon-flickering in my tab but no spinner. -
@alf5000 You need to enable it in Settings, Tabs, Tab Display.
-
@alf5000: From the blog post
if you want to show the spinner, go to “Preferences → Tabs → Tab Display → Favicon Spinner”
-
@supra107: We are working on and trying a lot of different things internally and our internal builds sometimes have extra features in various stages of working. When things are still very raw or in a fluctuating state or readiness (e.g. large parts of mail have been re-written multiple times), we make a decision not to share them (yet).
Now, despite how it might seem from the outside, when you see references to mail, rss, calendar, etc. we are not do this intentionally. It happens because our automated tests work with internal builds (where such features are expected) and the manual testers (myself included) get used to seeing these icons and settings and hence become sort of blind to them when doing snapshot release testing. So it is not an intentional “tease”. Just plain old human error!

Additionally, you may need:
Tools/Settings
(use the settings search field for "animation" )- Window Appearance/use animation
-
@TbGbe I think it might be worth adding something to that setting to make it clear that without animations turned on it won't work. Like this:
-
@LonM Better to link them. If the Favicon Spinner is enabled then Use Animation should be enabled automatically if it is currently disabled. Conversely, if Use Animation is disabled then Favicon Spinner should be disabled automatically.
However, disabling Favicon Spinner should not disable Use Animation.

I wrote few snapshots ago about issue that https pages are sometimes giving Timeout on first try. With 1435.4 it gets worse. I found out that it is occuring when I'm connected to corporate VPN - Checkpoint Securemote. But Opera works fine, thats strange to me.
-
@ruario of course I did enable spinner in settings, but there is no spinning wheel on my Vivaldi. the tab-icons just do some flickering, but no spinning.
