tabs below address bar and overlay menus
-
@hlehyaric I'm not a dev but 25 years of internet taught me few things
-
@sallyk said in tabs below address bar and overlay menus:
Tabs above the address bar have never made sense
I beg to differ, don't make sense for you maybe. I would like it to be customizable tho, that would be better for everyone.
-
Took a quick look at it, tabs at bottom are a child of the footer now, which contains the status bar too. I don’t think this is easily doable anymore, unless you want to move the status bar too or start positioning everything absolute (not recommended).
-
@luetage Really, oh, that's so annoying.
I'm not going to rant because I know it's not your fault, and I'm sure they had good reasons for making the change, but it's certainly making me rethink using Vivaldi as my main browser...
Let's hope something can be done.
-
@sallyk It should theoretically be doable with Javascript, but CSS is out of the question. The browser is now made up of 3 parts: header, main and footer. The tabs are either a part of the header, or a part of the footer. Main contains the address bar and therefore tabs need to be a child of main to display them below address bar. This would have been a one liner with Javascript only a few years back, but instead of hiding elements, Vivaldi nowadays removes and adds elements. Whenever it doesn’t find the element you moved it will crash the whole browser. It’s work covering all the possibilities, especially considering the whole interface changes when the mail view is being opened.

Thank you very much for looking at it, and for all the work you've done in making Vivaldi usable over the past few years.
I've said my bit in what is hopefully the right places - now I'll just have to wait and see.
-
@sallyk I did some work on a JavaScript version awhile ago when these changes came to Snapshot. You can see that version here.
I haven't had a chance to check if it still works. I also have some new ideas to try to see if I can get a CSS version working, but the only issue is finding some time to do it.
-
@nomadic I tried it, you forgot to account for mail. Good news is the address bar isn’t being removed when disabled. But looks like you got your work cut out for you ^^
-
Thank you very much for the link, and for the work you've done on this.
I probably won't be using the Vivaldi mail, so I'll certainly try it.

Doesn't seem to work in Vivaldi 4.0.2. Setting the tabs.css line in Browser.html and copying the common.css and tabs.css over in the styles folder. It starts up but tabs at the bottom instead of under bookmarks.
-
Wow this is very unfortunate I was just about to really pull the trigger and start using Vivaldi as my main browser. Taking away the already shoe-horned in option to put tabs below address bar just killed that idea. Guess I'm back to the drawing board for a new browser.
-
There is Palemoon 2,8 I find it looks nice, I use it for other things such as old websites but it is slow attimes, and not many extensions for it, they pretty much work with old extensions built 10 years for firefox 20 or so and I depend on the header hiding extension which I can't find any for that. I am hoping someone will find out the new element or whatever it is for Vivaldi v4. I still have hope for Vivaldi as it is customizable
Before I installed the v4 update I made a copy of Vivaldi 3.8 like always do and just renamed the v4 directory to revert back to v3.8 until a late date when a solution appears here or to test stuff.
-
Now I use PaleMoon 29. I decided to start using Vivaldi with the css for the tabs below the URL string, because that's more convenient for me. And now Update 4 has broken everything (
I hope someone can get this to work again. -
I have been using Pale Moon and was excited to finally find a browser that would let me move away from it. Agree this is a huge disappointment and hope this can be made to work somehow.
-
:< still no fix, guess time to downgrade. None of the scripts from other posts work for me. I am so disappointed.
-
if the last few post are saying tabs under address bar does not work in 4 - i can only say it does - the js/css code above is fine
-
Sadly I've had to downgrade as well. I was only on the newest version for like 5 minutes so likely nothing major in my profile path was messed with. It baffles me that tabs on bottom (as in below address bar) is not even an option to pick. I use Vivaldi as a secondary browser to Waterfox G3 (mostly for websites that need Chromium features) and Waterfox G3 provides an option out of the box to put tabs below address bar.

@vorthas And anyone else - if you haven't tried dude99's CSS, it's worth trying - it worked for me.

@sallyk Maybe I'm dumb but I just tried it and nothing loaded in Vivaldi. It was just a blank screen and I had to remove the css file and downgrade again to get it back to the way it was.
It's not just copying the css file to a customcss folder and loading it in, is it? Did I miss a step?
-
Have you set this up? If you have and it still doesn't work, I'm sorry, I'm not sure what the problem is.
