Periodic tab reload – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 2056.19
-
@gwen-dragon: I don't know how to insert a graphic image into a post here, so the link in my previous post is the best I can do.
-
@potmeklecbohdan: That seems bass-ackwards. From the intro on this page: "So that the reload doesn’t surprise you, we have a small count down animation." You wouldn't be surprised when a background tab reloads as much as you would be if the tab you're currently on (the active tab) reloads, no?
-
@wpcoe Well, (I think) these progress bars are the same as for a loading background page—this is what I meant when I said
The progress bars were designed only for background tabs
-
Refresh Tab, sounds better, this is on the news of SoftPedia, i did not need to install this.
-
@gwen-dragon: As far as I can recall, I've made no changes to any appearance other than when I selected the dark theme.
Under Settings > Appearance > COLOR:
- Contrast Adjustment, "Medium (WCAG AA)" is selected,
- "Background Window Behavior" > "Fade Foreground Colors" is unchecked, and
- "Limit Accent Color Saturation" is 100%
Under Settings > Themes > THEMES:
- "Dark" is selected, and when I click on "Edit Theme" it creates a "New Theme 1" for changes, so I guess it's not possible to edit the Themes pre-provided by Vivaldi? <shrug>
-
@gwen-dragon: Upon testing, I find that if I set "COLOR > Contrast Adjustment" to "No modifications," I get the higher contrast with the countdown timer on the active tab like you do, but then the contrast between active and background tabs is muted too much for my preference.
I much prefer the contrast between active and background tabs with "Medium (WCAG AA)," but then I sacrifice the contrast on the active tab for the periodic tab reload's countdown timer. Oh, well...
-
Hey now that context menus are customizable too i just need another little tiny thing to be customizable as well (aside for the rest of the context menus), "Find in page" results, I'm using the vivaldi://flags/#enable-force-dark flag but this makes the non active highlighted words barely noticeable on some sites, and afaik this color can't be changed using css :S
Is there any workaround to change this color?

Periodic tab reload seems to crash a lot on my machine. I activated the function on several tabs (some with 2-4 tiles). It seems to work a few times (sometimes only 1 time), and then the progression bar disappears and the Periodic Reload check-mark on the context menu is gone.

I have a shortcut pinned to taskbar of Vivaldi snapshot. After this update, Vivaldi snapshot opens new shortcut on taskbar, next to pinned one. Even when I close Vivaldi snapshot, an invisible icon stays on taskbar of that new shortcut.

Open Vivaldi, unpin the old shortcut, then right-click Vivaldi and pin it.

Clicking on "Show Closed Tabs" and "Synced Tabs" does not do anything any more since the last snapshot
Using a keyboard shortcut for this (Show closed tabs) seems to work just fine. (I’m on Linux though, so that may make a difference.)

@komposten: it does not solve the problem. Now I have 3 invisible shortcuts.

https://prnt.sc/upkvgiOh, I completely missed the part about the invisible icons. Unpinning one icon and pinning the open Vivaldi window used to work, but I don't think there used to be any invisible icons involved. So maybe this is a new, worse, bug.
-
@senja First, examine the properties of the invisible ones, find out what the target of the shortcuts are and what icons they're using. Post the results here (just curious what they are...)
Then unpin the invisible pinned shortcuts and try to recreate the issue. Maybe you could install an old standalone version, pin it and do an update and see if the same issue happens.
Then report the bug to the tracker: How to report a bug in Vivaldi

[Tabs][Menus][Regression] Trash and context menus stop working after clicking on “Trash” with no entries (VB-72318)
I assume this one is related to missing icons in the menu as well?

Just tested the periodic reload for a bit (I like that you can access it via quick commands, nice touch). Looks cool. I just need to try and think of some scenarios to use it. Any ideas ?

I use it for tracking packages, I typically pin the tab and set it to reload every 15 or 5 minutes depending on how close the package is. This way i can just check the tab really quick to see the status of the shipment, and get right back to whatever I was doing.

I'm sick of bringing it up, but can you get a developer on the job of making [mmb] actually open a url from a dropdown menu (bookmark/url bar etc everything) open in a background tab WITHOUT the menu closing, forcing me to have to reopen the damn thing to open another url in a background tab.
This feature of all things was even added in Firefox by those mozillidiots years ago.. If those fools can finally do something useful to improve the UX why can't you Vivaldi...

Added in Firefox about:config > browser.bookmarks.openInTabClosesMenu = false
And for big features ... a Vivaldi version of something better that this... https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/
