Dark mode for websites (tint)

[vitek620]

Add pliz tinting of web sites and its settings that it would be possible to change the darkening of web sites. I just really miss this feature.

(mod: updated title)

@vitek620 Do you mean like the "Filter Sepia" page action - if you click the little <> icon in the status bar?

[vitek620]

@LonM I want a similar extension Dark view but already have in the shito directly in the browser.

[LonM]

@vitek620 OK. I understand now. I updated the title of your request for dark mode specifically.

[vitek620]

@LonM Eh I hope sho many people vote for my request and the developers implement it.

@vitek620 , Vivaldi has a hidden function to automatically have the dark mode on all pages that have a light background.Type vivaldi://flags in the address bar and press Enter, the page with Experiments appears. Search for Dark Mode and you will see 2 entries. Activate them in the pull downs (option "Except images") and restart Vivaldi. That's it, now you have dark mode on any page, even in the Chrome Store, which does no extension. It also works on Vivaldi mobile.

@Catweazle I don't like how it is implemented. I want to have that look but already have it sewn right in the browser.

@vitek620 said in Dark mode for websites:

@Catweazle I don't like how it is implemented. I want to have that look.

If you just want this, to reduce the brightness on the websites, it offers to simply adjust the gamma in the video settings of the OS.

[vitek620]

@Catweazle Don't get me wrong I want to have this feature right in the browser. without enabling flags and extensions. and for those who do not need it, let the developers add it in the settings by disabling the check mark.I just really need it. I want to use the extension almost to zero. Once again, I want to have this function as in the picture.

It would be nice to have something like a native Dark Reader in Vivaldi. I tried a while back with custom user styles, e.g. by editing Filter_invert.css:

html {
  color: #ffffff;
  background: #000000;
  filter: invert(100%) !important;
}

/* Inverting images or video does not do any good */
img, video {
  filter: invert(100%) !important;
}

But I didn't have any luck. My edits didn't do a thing; don't know why Maybe someone more knowledgeable about CSS/JS could figure out something. It should be easy to implement as a User Style (via Status Bar >> Page Actions menu)

[Catweazle]

@Darthagnon , I don't have much idea of ​​programming, but from what I know is that Dark Reader is Open Source and therefore with the code at hand you can see how it works.But I think it would be enough to improve the function in flags, which already works relatively well, differentiating between pages that have to be inverted and those that don't.What would be missing is that it be adjustable and translate an icon corresponding to a Vivaldi bar.

[tverye]

It would be convenient to just get a keyboard shortcut or a button for quick access to a flag already available in the Chromium engine, so that I can quickly turn it on or off at will. Of course, I can put the flags in the sidebar, but this is a little less convenient.

[Catweazle]

@tverye , the problem is that settings in flag needs to restart Vivaldi. I use apart from Dark Mode in flags also Dark Reader, this works better than each one alone in all webs, apart of this, there are also a invert filter in the Page Actions Menu (<>) which you can use in sites where the Dark Theme don't work well (few)

[crazzyraven]

need to say about Opera GX browser. It has really good native Dark Mode switcher. Anyway i love Vivaldi and want something like that here

[Catweazle]

@crazzyraven , Vivaldi has a Dark mode switcher Page Actions>Invert Filter, but it don't memorize pages where it's needed.

[crazzyraven]

@catweazle it looks not so good. Look at the difference. And yes. Not memorizing is the point too.

[Elmar]

I am using the experimental feature "Force Dark Mode for Web Content" (vivaldi://flags/#enable-force-dark) for a long time. It works great, but some pages are ugly. It would be great if there is a small button, beside the image toggle at the bottom, to easily enable/disable the dark mode global and/or for the current website.

[Catweazle]

@elmar , use it in conjunction with Dark Reader, this allows you to make adjustments if a page goes wrong.

[balleine]

Indeed; just like in the Android-version of Vivaldi-browser.

@vitek620 In support of this request;
I learned today that > 2'200 Million people have impaired vision.
Thus, dark-mode for websites is important for many millions people (in all internet browsers).
