Ok, so here we are,
VFM 3.0
big release day. Or is it?I ran into some issues when trying to publish the extension on Chrome Web Store. I was aware of Google changing the privacy practices for extension developers, but I wasn’t aware that I had to defend the permissions in use in text and submit the extension for review. Such a review could take from a day up to a couple of weeks and I couldn’t possibly guess how long it will take. Last time I did an update it was available a few hours later, so that’s a bummer.
While I don’t think everyone will go out of their way to install the extension directly from Github, here the instructions:
- Follow the link and click on the
INSTALL
folder. - Click on
vivaldi_forum_mod.crx
and click on “Download”. - Enable developer mode in
vivaldi://extensions/
and drag the.crx
file over the page.
This is the easiest way to install the extension until it is being approved by Google I’m afraid. The download is only 83.5 kb in size.
The extension is live on chrome web store and should update for everyone soon. I have updated the first post of this topic with an explanation of current features, but should you still have questions I will try and answer them.
Feedback welcome, as always. And share some themes! Sadly I had to break compatibility with our previous automated theme system, but they would have looked off anyway.
Big thank you to all the people who tested the latest version and pointed out errors; and to the translators, whom I annoyed!
Oh, and before I forget it, here the Changelog
- Unlimited custom themes
- Automatic import of theme previews
- Seamless theme changes
- Scheduled theming
- New mod: Use System Emoji by LonM
- Translations for Russian and Czech (by Semenov-Sherin and potmeklecbohdan)
- Follow the link and click on the

@luetage Thank you for the new release!!!!!!
Just a question; I did follow your instruction but I now have both 2.4 and 3.0 installed. Do I have to remove the previous one? (or wait for the automatic update from Chrome web store which will replace it by the new one)?
Edit : additional question... (maybe linked to the previous one because I have both versions installed) : I see that my CSS hasn't been imported in the Modification module... will I die Doc?
-
@ornorm Just disable 2.4, no need to uninstall it. It will automatically update to 3.0 as soon as the extension has been previewed and approved.
-
@ornorm First of all you should always back up your custom User CSS. The extensions cannot communicate with each other, so you will have to copy your CSS from your backup and paste it into 3.0. Think of them as completely unrelated, 2 different entities.
-
@luetage said in Vivaldi Forum mod:
as soon as the extension has been previewed and approved
Which means I'll then also have to remove the 3.0 I just installed manually at that time? (sorry, I'm not at ease concerning such installs)
-
@ornorm Yes, you can safely delete the manual installation. But export your themes and backup your User CSS first ^^
-
@luetage Thank you for your help and, again, thank you (all) for the new release!

1 more theme to try, just to show how easy it is to take a Vivaldi theme and convert it to a Forum mod theme. And now I’m gonna go fall into a coma.
{"themeName":"Private","colorBg":"#23234f","colorFg":"#c0c0f1","colorHi":"#fde25d","colorAc":"#404076","colorLi":"#5d78fd","colorCo":"#fd5d78","colorDd":"#3f3f8d"}

Can someone test if the following link works?
It was in my Unread list and, I don't know why, I always receive an error message when I click on it (doesn't happen on other posts)It's a bit weird because it works in a Guest window, in a Private window, in Snapshot version ( = everywhere where I don't have Vivaldi Forum mod installed).
With Vivaldi Forum mod installed (enabled & disabled), I get or this
or that (open in new tab)
Thank you.

@hlehyaric Thank you so much! It worked indeed!
Quite incredible that it was, for me, the first time I had such an issue on a topic that is related to pausing the ad-blocker...

@luetage
Thank you for the update, all is working fine for me.Cheers, mib
-
Good news, my worries have been needless it seems. The update went through on chrome web store this morning. You can enable developer mode and force the update in
vivaldi://extensions/
.@hlehyaric There is no reason to run an adblocker on Vivaldi Forum, it won’t block anything and only slow down navigation time, albeit marginally.
When sharing a themecode you have to surround it with 3 backticks like a normal codeblock, or it won’t be clickable.
-
@luetage Thank you for updating the Vivaldi Forum extension. I like the result very much.
I especially like the Solarized Light theme and the new Bookmarks section

@luetage Just saw something really interesting

@juanvase About the custom toolbar and zen mode, I noticed that too. But it’s something you set once and then leave untouched, just edit it in normal mode. I wouldn’t know what to do about it in the first place, it’s LonM’s mod.
The color picker changed over the last year. I haven’t programmed it, it’s a standard input element provided by Google. We used to be able to paste just fine in it, I don’t know whether it’s a Vivaldi specific bug.
Going to that link I don’t have/see the issue, but I did indeed change something about it. In normal Vivaldi the space between name and post is ridiculously large, so I made it smaller. Could be you are using a font that has more height, or simply a larger font size, which in turn displaces the whole element. Could you tell me what font size and font you are using?

@tam710562 Yes, you are famous. Your picture and code for one of your Vivaldi mods is on web store ^^
