[Feature Requests] Give us an option to disable expanding tab thumbnails
-
I use middle click to close tabs a lot, and I frequently middle click just low enough so that the thumbnails expand. It's really frustrating. Another feature I'd like is to be able to set a custom colour for the interface, instead of choosing either the web page's colour or nothing.

I use the middle click a lot, too, since the "stone age" (the early Opera days) but I didn't even know that was possible to expand the tab bar with the middle button.
And even after I read your message I spent 5 minutes trying to do so.
In short
#1 I'm not sure it's intended (I'll investigate with the devs tomorrow)
#2 to me seem pretty odd that you do by mistake something that required me a lot of attempts, something like killing the boss at the end of a videogame
Maybe your mouse microswitches are affected by microbounching? Did you try another mouse?

Use Page theme color in user interface is no doubt a good option but not for me. The interface is really too flashy then to my taste and my eyes are drawn to the interface rather than by the content.
Without, is at opposite, somewhat bland but I still prefer currently.2 other comments on interface:
- The access to bookmarks could be optimized with a button on the tab bar > Bookmark menu > Single clic > Close.
Currently we need to open the side panel (or F6), do a double click to open the bookmark and then hide the side panel with the tiny bottom left button. Not really top.
However the Bookmarks in the side panel is well to edit or organize favorites And I appreciate the folder choice for the bookmarks bar - The trash button (or historical) on the tab bar should rather be in the sidebar. a matter of taste, maybe.

There are three ways to expanding thumbnails.
Middle clicking, left clicking - holding - dragging, and double clicking.
And yeah, expanding it can happen on accident. If you don't want to use this feature I can see how it is annoying. Why not make a simple option to disable it? I don't see what's wrong with that. Makes sense. -
For the record I found it difficult to get it by middle click because I tried to drag the bar, just like with left button.
Now is clear that with a steady middle click over the horizontal divider the feature can be triggered consistently.

Easy way to fix it: open bundle.js in a text editor. Replace
this.state.TAB_POSITION?(this.state.tabsHeight>C+18?
with
this.state.TAB_POSITION?(true?
Or you can download fixed bundle js for your Vivaldi version here http://justdanpo.ru/vivaldi -
Me too. I always use middle click. Tab thumbnail accidentally show many times. It's really annoying. It makes me crazy

@dLeon Oh! Thank you very much. It work!

It should be awesome if Vivaldi can show tab thumbnail on mouse hover like Firefox Tab Scope.

@dLeon I don't understant that option meaning at first time. Thank you very much. I know now. Work like a charm!
OK. I'm too lazy.
I'll see that topic, thanks.
