Snapshot 1.0.190.2 Startpage customization, UI zooming and more

"… being able to hide Tab thumbnails when Tabs are placed on the left..."
I'm starting to believe that Vivaldi is a true heir to Opera 12

Hi,
I just discovered this upcoming browser and I'm amazed.
What I'm currently missing is the "display full url in urlbar"-feature. I think this is required if the browser should be customizable.
The second point of critic is the slightly lagging UI. The performance on a office-notebook is not the best.Greetings

I cannot even install this version Vivaldi 64bit on my Windows 8.1
"installation failed due to unspecific error if shitvaldi is currently running please close it and try again"
The crappy 32bit version installs.

With Tabs at the top, If I hide thumbnails by dragging or double clicking the tab bottom border, I can no longer reveal them with the Settings/Appearance/Tab Options/Show Tab Thumbnails toggle.
This version is a great leap forward on the customisability front - thanks for all the ongoing good work.

So, it turns out UI stuff beat out mail and private browsing for this version, so, OK. I can live with that.
I was a LITTLE excited we seemed to be getting more options for the actual UI frame because the only thing I don't like about it right now is, you have to select forever-changing and too-saturated, too-distracting colors (would a few pastels kill ya, really?) or this ultra-contrasty and somewhat-jarring black. So I thot, LOOK! we can use a more soothing color for the frame!
But, sadly, no. We can change the sizes of things (which I don't need to do) or the background for the Speed Dial. Shucks.
I'm 100% ready for some true skinning of UI elements, or, BETTER STILL, mail. Pretty please? Mail? Pretty please?

Although I need the mail client before I can start using Vivaldi as my default browser, it's not something that I would want to have before it's ready. Too much is at stake if using a buggy mail client.
Interface customisation is vital too. Next I need more powerful customised mouse gestures, then, shortcuts and customised menus.
I noticed something odd about the tab thumbnail previews. It has been reported before, but with a Tab-stack composed of tabs from my Reviews Site the thumbnail previews have thumbnail previews too.

Update failure: the update window appears, prompting me to DL and install latest version (from 1.0.178.2), I tell it to install, and 2 sec. later an error message tells me "Update error! An error occured retrieving update information….".
Internet is good, no FW blocking, retried 3 times (incl. restart).
Unless I can provide some useful information regarding the cause of the problem/bug, I'm gonna update manually later today.

There's still problem with Speed Dial thumbnails.
Can't you just make thumbnails save in some folder on disk?
Add option to not clear Speed Dial thumbnails when clearing history.
Some time ago a new option about licenses appeared so it's possible. What does it exactly do? -
Opening Vivaldi with speeddial opened causes all speeddial items to be listed in a vertical row. Changing to another tab and changing back fixes this bug.

I had the identical problem trying to update my stand-alone, 32-bit version yesterday… after a couple of seconds, I received the 'update error' message. I tried it again several times, identical results. Finally, I simply downloaded it using Firefox and installed 'over top' from the download.

Homepage zoom is from the last session.

On my Vivaldi my tabs still disappear… Is it because of some custom css I have enabled?
.dial.add {
display: none !important;
}#tabs-container.left #tabs .tab, #tabs-container.right #tabs .tab {
max-height: 30px !important;
}
#tabs-container.left #tabs .tab .tab-thumb, #tabs-container.right #tabs .tab .tab-thumb {}
#tabs-container.left #tabs .tab, #tabs-container.right #tabs .tab {
max-width: 13px !important;
}
#tabs-container.left {max-width:30px !important;
}.addressfield {
margin-left: 20px !important;
}.button-toolbar.rewind{
display: none;
}.button-toolbar.next{
display: none;
}#pagetitle{
display: none;
}Theres my custom.css file... anything to cause tabs disappearing?

The crappy 32bit version installs.
:lol: :lol: :lol:
The "identical in all functionality and performance, just with a different number on the box" version installs…

There is still an error with auto update process so far. For me, it still lacks the search suggestions., although Vivaldi browser is getting better.

I'm getting the same error on different PC's, the previous auto-updates worked fine.

Export passwords from Opera 12.17 x64 (wand.dat file) doesn't work in Vivaldi (while i tested one previous buil thos doesn't work too) - manualy i can't select wand.dat file because it's not "configuration file"…. only me?

Another requested feature that made it this time is being able to hide Tab thumbnails when Tabs are placed on the left or right. If you display thumbnails with Tabs at the top, this preference will carry over when you switch them to the side.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOO HOO
Best Feature Ever
Now, if I may make a request for a feature that no one has done before also relating to tab position…
how about "Tabs on top if window is portrait, tabs on right if window is landscape" ...
(yeah, yeah, i know, some would say i'm never happy.. but in this case.. it's just that i suddenly thought of a way to make a great feature even greater )
THANK YOU VIVALDI DEVS

I am a little late to the party, but I'm here now.
This version is the best yet! But I also uninstalled my anti-virus software and installed another type (AVG Internet Security) that is much less of a resource hog.
Whatever the reason, streaming audio (one of my biggest worries in previous releases) works very well now.
A few small issues.
Vivaldi never opens in a maximized state. On my desktop, with a vertical monitor, it takes up about 95% of the screen, but on my Surface, it takes up only about 60%. Can we have an "always start maximized" setting?
Can we have a way of setting a default of "open all bookmarks in new tabs"? I am used to working that way. I don't know how many other people are, though.
For some reason, Vivaldi isn't reading my keyboard quite correctly. For instance, I tried to set my "zoom in" keystroke to [Ctrl-Shift-+], and that displays in the Settings window as [Ctrl-Shift-(French-style opening quotation mark, Alt-0171 in Windows EN-US, but I can't get it to work in this text box)]. [Ctrl-Shift–] (minus) displays in the Settings window as [Ctrl-Shift-½]. I don't know if some of my earlier problems were because of this. This is Windows 8.1. I have never noticed other keystroke mis-interpretations in other programs I use, and I do a lot of writing in WordPerfect, Word, Notepad++, etc.
But mostly, I'm thrilled. Vivaldi is now close to being ready for prime time!

Few minutes ago I tried to download 32bit snapshot but Vivaldi on my Intel i3 processor laptop with 4GB RAM and 5400rpm Harddrive is so slow and laggy with multiple tabs open that even the download itself will not complete without bringing Vivaldi and my laptop to its knees. I have to ctrl-alt-del in Windows then force close twice. I have Windows 7 home premium 64bit. Last week I managed to eventually download the 64bit snapshot but trying to install it resulted in Vivaldi not being able to start at all, and I had to go back to a windows restore point to re-install the 1.0.169 version I currently am using.

For future reference, can you share some system specs (RAM, CPU) and what antivirus you replaced with AVG? Others with the same original AV and similarly equipped systems may find it informative.
