Styled Find in Page

This is how it looks for me:
In my opinion they should change this very short animation to 3 pulses in 3 seconds or something, maybe even more popping out than it currently is in the experiment.@LorenAmelang
I disagree, even people who can only see black and white can see this combination of colors. It is much better to improve the 'hit' animation, because humans are really good at detecting movement. Remember Where's Wally? -
@greenenemy Yes, that example is quite visible. But try tiny type on a complex "fashionable" web page with stuff blinking and videos autorunning and colored backgrounds and pale type - on a huge 3000x2000 screen. It would be quite easy to miss that blink. Three would be better, but why not continuous? And please let those of us with special needs choose our own bright colors instead of soft pink and yellow.

I like it. So far seems to work okay, in v3.1.
One small visual problem: the text is blurry while it animates.
I too wouldn't mind being able to configure the colors/CSS, and the degree of darkening.
For example, in Opera 12 the focused text is also surrounded by a stylized border, which helps make it stand out even more. -
Hi,
How can I turn this off or fix it?
For me whenever I use find in page, the orange highlight has offset from the real location and then disappears.With fresh profile it does not behave like that, but I do not want to start everything from scratch.
Kind regards,

@presianbg It works fine for me. Are you using any custom style sheets?
-
@Pesala No, I think not:

@presianbg I can confirm this issue in a clean profile of Vivaldi Stable, on Windows 10 2004. It looks to be a DPI Scaling issue, as it does not appear when DPI Scaling is set to System override. Of course this depends on your OS, and I don't know why you can't reproduce in a clean profile.
Please report the issue, but try to reproduce in a clean install first:
https://help.vivaldi.com/article/reporting-a-bug-in-vivaldi/The Styled Find-in-page feature was forced on us some versions ago. I find it distracting so I disable it with a custom CSS mod:
/* Find-in-page no animation */ .fip-active-hit { display: none; }
-
@Pathduck This is how it looks like on another profile on the same machine:
I tried to disable all extensions on the problematic profile to no avail.
-
I found the problem:
When I reset the UI zoom to 100% there is no offset in the Styled find in page animation.
Shall I report this as a bug ?
-
@presianbg Good find
Looks like the issue is triggered with both DPI Scaling and UI zoom, and I assume these things are related. Please report the issue, thanks -
Done.

Is "Styled Find in Page" still available in Vivaldi?
-
@wpcoe Is there a setting somewhere to turn it on/off? I ask because I don't see it in action on my Vivaldi installation, and never have.
-
@Gwen-Dragon That usually works but often times, for some reason, the highlighted "found" item is not visible on my screen and I'd like the additional flag like shown here:

I thought that was "Styled Find" versus "regular" <Ctrl+F> find...?
-
@wpcoe That image shows the BUG with DPI scaling, which is now fixed in Snapshot. The "animation" will now show above the found text.
It might not work perfectly on all sites if the search text is inside a hidden element. The original intent of this feature was to show when text was found inside for instance hidden YouTube comments.

So have they given up on that "original" intent? I run into invisible "finds" several times a day, and waste a lot of time scanning all around complex pages with no clue whether the text is truly invisible or just tiny. One big help would be a (large) minimum size for the colored rectangle - sometimes it is a tiny footnote lost among brightly colored page elements.
Worst problem is when searching a Vivaldi displayed pdf file. The search box still looks like the normal search, but the highlight colors are closer to pale gray, and the highlight size is even more often very tiny. Is that the same search function, or is there different code for searching pdf tabs?

I have no idea. I agree it doesn't work that well for some sites. Personally I don't care for the "animation" at all, so I've turned it off in CSS.
is there different code for searching pdf tabs?
Yes, opened PDFs use the built-in Chromium PDF Viewer extension with a different highlight colour.
-
@Pathduck Hey, I liked that bug!
Now, about that "... an[d] for a short while with animated size" that
@Gwen-Dragon mentioned -- I still don't see that, and I think I would like it to. -
@Gwen-Dragon
If you had disabled Animations of UI in Settings โ Appearance โ Window Appearance you will not get the animated size of found result.
Just checked, mine is enabled. What I see is that if the tab has scrolled since the last find, either automatically or manually, the new find flashes orange for maybe 250 ms (I'm in Vivaldi dark mode), then back from orange to yellow for maybe 250 ms, and then stays orange until a new arrow or Enter moves it. So quickly the flash is over before my eyes lock onto the new scroll position. All in the exact same size, barely containing the found text. Is that the "size animation" people are seeing? If I just arrow back and forth between two instances in the same scroll position, they just swap colors.
TBH, I do have the
https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/28750/less-obstructive-compact-bottom-find-bar
mod installed, but I don't see that it mods the found items, only the find bar itself. Of course I'm sure there are details I don't comprehend...
