Native Window Mode?
-
Funnily enough many people (me included) wants exact the opposite: no native decorations in Linux to avoid some wasted space.

I'm just guessing here, but maybe the "Basic" theme is considered the "native" appearance for Win7 when transparency is disabled. If so, I don't know if there is a way (other than maybe som extensive CSS mods) to get Vivaldi to look like your Classic look, as that isn't "native". (Again, just an educated guess.)
Yeah, I suspected you would come to this conclusion too.
That's why I hoped one of dev's would clarify if this is a 'real' windows border, or just a 'skin' drawn by devs. I read a thread here on forum which suggested this 'native' look, and I believed it would be done through actually using windows api
btw, I wonder, does changing 'primary' color in Windows Aero theme also change color of Vivaldi's border? Or is it permanently blue (can't check, years ago when I installed Win7 I removed all aero support from it, can't remember what I did back then, maybe even deleted some dlls) -
Judging from the transparency in my screen capture, I would say that it is native window painting - but that for some reason it doesn't support the win95 style borders in gdveggie's classic theme.
@davesnothere - thanks, but I'm not that bothered; quite happy to stick with Vivaldi's own look. I was just thinking about improvements that Vivaldi should make for default native mode.

I have a similar problem. I use Windows 7 with the Classic theme, but no custom colours, and Vivaldi's window doesn't take the Classic them – instead, it takes on the Basic theme. What's more, as mentioned by others, the window bar has no title (which is one reason I use Chrome as little as possible).

I'm not sure if ff really uses native controls to draw button and tabs on titlebar BUT just ading (empty) titlebar that STILL is drawn extremly slowly isn't anything tat helps

Just clarifying that it is Andys with the Classic theme. I (gdveggie) am using the Basic theme with no transparency. But it sounds like you've answered another question that was in the back of my mind: Does the "native" Win7 with transparency actually have transparency? Sounds like it does on your system.

Hey, how did you get Vivaldi to show page title in window title bar?? I am missing this feature badly!
(Edited: Although I replied to a certain message, this forum didn't include any reference to it in my reply. So, my question was directed to mossman who posted a screenshot with page title.)

What Gino said…
You also have to have the Vivaldi button instead of the menu.

That sucks… do you guys know if a title bar is going to implemented in near future? If not, I'll submit a request.

@mossman The pictures really help. What would this look like on Windows 10?

@pewm-pewm said in Native Window Mode?:

It's been two years, but the only thing that seems to have changed is that the title is now in the Windows bar...
