There is an empty area in the thumbnail preview:

There is an odd value declared for that, it's locked at 170px, been that way for a few stables too. Try this

.create-bookmark > .button-popup .thumbnail-image {
    height: unset !important;
    max-height: unset !important;
}

You're scaring me off of this Snapshot for fear of what Speed Dial mods are going to be broken...

[Panels] Periodic reload steals focus (VB-76536)

Thank you for that. It has been bugging me since forever as VB-37747 and it was realy a pain!

I was thinking about writing a post about Vivaldi not fixing long standing annoying bugs but with the last two snapshots, you fixed half of the ones that were bugging me, thank you! Keep fixing bugs, I think you have a lot of the features in already!

@luetage: Different strokes. I want the focus in the address bar when starting Vivaldi, and finally it has reverted to that. The poor developers: damned if they do, damned if they don't.

I don't find the new tiles ugly, in fact I like them, but I coincide with nellaiseemai: I would like to have favicons for urls and custom icons for folders. Customizing every single url is a drag and when you have to install Vivaldi to a new computer, it's a pain in the ass.
Two days after the new version, I find the new tiles much better, more refined, less crude and favicons-ready in case the devs gives us this choice. Maybe the best aesthetic development since Vivaldi opened its way.

@wpcoe Nah, it needs to be in the hands of the users. We have a setting for it and it should take precedence. If there are users who want the focus in the address field on the startpage, but nowhere else, it should be a feature request and up for consideration. The current behavior is a bug.

Stardust

@sjudenim thanks, it is not a big problem for me and I'm not a mod user

The lines that appear across animated images remain on M1 Macs.

@saudiqbal: Pardon my asking, but why is the search bar necessary, if you can perform a search from the address bar?

I dont use the search bar, it is removed from my address bar, the focus goes to search bar on the speed dial instead of the address bar when I press the home button.

luetage

@saudiqbal Why do you have the search bar on speed dial even enabled? I never understood the purpose of it. It’s probably the worst tool to issue a search available in Vivaldi.

Guys please those black borders around speed dials are ugly...
Also: why square on a landscape screen?
Please make us choice wich layout we prefer, I loved the old one, hate this new one, no offense intended

gabevilela

@atlemo: I kinda liked this border. Maybe add a slider to control the border's width?

Any plans for Reload all speed dial thumbnails and Reload every x minutes?

Doesn't Reload or F5 work while Speed Dial is active?

Damn, I didn't even thought about trying F5, I'm used to right-click refresh all (from some other browser which I don't recall), so yeah, that works lol, thanks.

saudiqbal

@luetage because there are some searches that cannot be completed using the address bar, like code searches.

Pathduck

Please, for the sake of our sanity: Set .thumbnail-image img to

object-fit: contain;
object-position: center;

So we don't have to have to use exact bloody pixel-perfect dimensions for our custom thumbnails...

I can deal with SD mods breakage, I don't have a lot of modding there anyway, but this is such a small change and would be a big help.

Also please add an option to ~~not show the favicons~~ have the text centred under the thumbnail. The favicon is useless when we're using custom thumbs of the site icon anyway. EDIT: I see now we have an option to not show the favicons

npro

@Pathduck Or basically instead of this:

[New][Speed Dial][Settings] Updated layout for Start Page Speed Dials: like Android (VB-72606)
(that literally no one asked for in this forum, or I haven't read the latest 5-6 "Snapshots" thoroughly enough)

do this:

[New][Speed Dial][Settings] Updated layout for Start Page Speed Dials: like Desktop (VBA-72606)

I see that many people don't like the new speed dials. I have to say though, I like the new look a lot

Imo

Pros:

the url text is no longer in the rounded field:

alt text

now we have favicons

Cons:

the url text now inside the whole frame
thumbs are still 3:4
