Solved Reload Vivaldi Button
-
For example, you have to restart Vivaldi if you want to change the language. But Vivaldi only offers exit. It would be very useful if Vivaldi had an option to restart, placed under Exit, see screenshot:
-
It's already possible to add such a command (Open Link >
vivaldi://restart
) as a menu entry thanks to editable menus - in fact, I had it for a while in both my Vivaldi installations that I use daily. I think we can close this feature request. -
Would definitely be useful. The debug mode has a "Simulate browser restart" but regular users should not run in debug.
It should not be below Exit though - Exit should always be the last option on the File menu, it's kind of a standard on Windows at least. And it should prompt the user for confirmation* before doing so if Exit confirmation dialog is enabled.
* Because of a bug, using File > Exit actually does not prompt the user before exiting

@Gwen-Dragon cool, very practical
-
@MrNoName A few other workarounds until a restart button is added:
- You could probably add the restart bookmark as a speed dial.
- Add a nickname to the bookmark. Then you can simply write the nickname into Quick Commands (F2) or the address bar and press enter.
- If you don't use the restart feature too often, you can add
vivaldi://%s
as a search engine. I use this a lot to access internal Vivaldi pages (v restart
-> restart,v version
-> openvivaldi://version
, etc.).
-
@MrNoName You could also set vivaldi://restart as your home page. Then you have a button to restart Vivaldi. Not so good if you use fvd as your home page though
-
@Pesala That is super effective
-
@Pesala Thank you very much for this great idea Is there also a way to change the Home Button icon to a reload icon?
-
@stardepp There most certainly is:
-
@Komposten I have already visited both links, both instructions are too complicated. I save .css in this folder:
file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Vivaldi/Application/2.8.1664.40/resources/vivaldi/style
in this file:

simply no to setting it as a home page.

- Create a new, empty .css file and put it somewhere.
- Put the "change homepage icon to something else" CSS code inside your empty CSS file. Your code will look something like the code below. Basically, it selects the homepage button's SVG element and changes the SVG's path (that is, its shape). The path I've included here is the one @luetage uses in the "Changing icons" thread I linked earlier.
.toolbar-addressbar .button-toolbar button[title~=homepage] svg path { d: path('M 4 6 h 18 v 2.5 h -3.5 v 11.5 h -2.5 v -9.5 h -6 v 9.5 h -2.5 v -11.5 h -3.5 Z'); }
- Do this (from the Modding Vivaldi link) to add the CSS to Vivaldi:
-
@Komposten Thank you very much for your instructions. I did it exactly as described, but the home button doesn't change its appearance.
-
@stardepp Are you sure that you didn't forget the last step?
-
@potmeklecbohdan What last step do you mean?
-
@stardepp Restart.
-
@stardepp Restart Vivaldi.
-
@Pesala Yes, I did. Vivaldi was my new start.
-
-
@stardepp What about the path?
\Dokumente\
and\Documents\
(and the same with users)? Try if it works if you use the same version in both (the English one, the localised one is usually composed from links IIRC). -
Uhh, the CSS selector only works if you have Vivaldi in English since it looks for the string "homepage" in the text that appears if you hold your mouse over the homepage button ("Go to homepage").
Use this one instead for German Vivaldi:
.toolbar-addressbar .button-toolbar button[title~=Startseite] svg path { d: path('M 4 6 h 18 v 2.5 h -3.5 v 11.5 h -2.5 v -9.5 h -6 v 9.5 h -2.5 v -11.5 h -3.5 Z'); }
(Take note of the part that now says
Startseite
instead ofhomepage
.)
