An Easter egg for April Fools’ Day
-
@apanx1 Superb! I love it! Like @Hadden89 I'd like to have it forever!
I was searching everywhere (tools, notes, shortcuts, etc.) but didn't notice that the icon was indicating the time!
Edit (4 minutes later) : the more I look to it, the more I like it!
Edit 2 : as usual, Vivaldi team shows how creative they are and, even for an April's fools day or for an Easter egg, they make something that enhances their users experience. Thank you Vivaldi! Love you! -
@apanx1: I confirm, the clock shows the current time only when it is April 1.
-
And in the end, this egg hunt will be the April Fool's prank, as there is nothing to find
Yeah, that's an interesting suggestion, but tbh i still prefer McCartney's original lyrics:
“And, in the end
The love you take
is equal to the love you make.”:face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye:

If anyone wants to mod vivaldi so this is always present, open
bundle.js
in your editor of choice, and find this text:3===e.getMonth()&&1===e.getDate()?this.setState({hour:t,minute:a}):4.5===this.state.hour&&0===this.state.minute||this.setState({hour:4.5,minute:0})
and replace it with
this.setState({hour:t,minute:a})
(Be careful editing the
bundle.js
directly, make a backup copy of it first) -
The history side-panel tab button has a live clock in it on April 1, when
3 === e.getMonth() && 1 === e.getDate()
(the month is 3 instead of 4 since JavaScript uses 0-indexed months). -
It's a cool little gimmick
What would be really cool was to have the option to have a permanent (digital) clock in the status bar. Maybe the option to have either an analog or digital clock, but analog is kind of useless at that size.
I seem to remember old Opera had a clock there, it was very useful to keep track of the time.

@moondawg: The best gag the O gang ever did, IMO, was the 'Swedish Chef' version to show that MS had a site that was "borked" as they designed it. I actually was disappointed when the next version 'corrected' the Chef-translation.
-
@ornorm: $HOUSEMATE asked, "Why make something useful like that only work on April first?" (My reply: There's usually a clock on screen anyway.)
-
I found the Easter egg. In the panel, the course is displayed today as an analog clock with moving hands. The clock shows the current time.
Please do not remove this clock !!!

Due to the positive feedback about this cool easter I actually did a request
(I don't think is a good idea keeping as "true" setting, as panel could change a lot in the meantime -- and devs shouldn't have to fix an easter )@Vakkotaur Dynamic history clock is not about usefullness. It's just nice to see, and make appear Vivaldi (even more) like a dynamic and live project.
Or at least is how I consider this "feature". -
- Thought that it was a bug.
- Remembered that I came across the blog post about easter egg.
- I think I found one.
Really apreciate animating pictures so they turn upside down.
Could have made a better choice for the font though -
Talking of April's fools jokes on other sites - the stackoverflow.one is pretty cool. Not super-original but I like the cursor effect, and a very nice write-up of some internet history.

- I saw @Hadden89's request
- I looked at history panel–couldn't find it
- Disabled all mods (including the ones hiding header and changing the panel icon)
- Opened new window
- Tried to find the clock again–still nothing
- Looked at the icon and thought How could somebody design that ugly icon?
- Tried to find some explantation in the forum–found this topic
- Huh...
-
I also noticed the real-time clock history icon.
I'm not the first but proud of myself.Please add this as a feature. ))
-
I hate these easter eggs. I can look right at it for hours and never see them.
I agree. It should stay this way. -
The history icon is different in both stable and unstable..... Those Collectors edition stickers are cool
-
thanks global mods for the bundle hack so i can keep this after april fools, just sad that i wasn't the first, but ill keep my open for the next time i can nab those: “collector edition” stickers particularly the orange version.
-
Google have this one for today
-
Can you bring back previous "light" panel icons? I don't like new bold.

New to Vivaldi. Love the browser. Love the easter egg. Please keep it.
