Vivaldi Forum mod
-
@nomadic Alright, might as well explain it to avoid the possibility of no one ever finding it.
In the last extension update, @luetage and I added an Easter egg. The instructions for triggering it will be below, but they are hidden in case you want to try and figure it out from my ramblings in the earlier post.
Instructions
The Easter egg is a snow falling animation over the forum similar to what I showed in the GIF here. It works best on a theme with a dark background.
To active it, you simply need to input "let it snow
" in the forum search box and hit enter (spaces and capitalization don't matter, so "Le tiTS NoW
" would also work). You can also include a number between1
and1000
to control the number of snow flakes that will be generated. If you don't include a number, there will be90
snow flakes.
If you want to get rid of the snow flakes, you only need to refresh the page.
As an unintendedside effectfeature of the Easter egg, if you set the snow flake count to something high, your computer will likely heat up to help keep you nice and warm on a cold winter night -
@nomadic
I don't get it.

@shifte sorry, you need to hit enter.
-
@shifte , it only works with the forum extension enabled. For me it works fine, but due that I'm using Dark Mode in flags, my snowflakes are black.
-
Hooray!
Ha~lle~lu~jah~ -
@nomadic Wonderful. Thanks a lot.

@Catweazle said in Vivaldi Forum mod:
my snowflakes are black.
Might be better for getting you in the mood for the apocalypse rather than the winter season
You can change the color of the snowflakes with the
User CSS
option under theModifications
tab. This should work better or if you want to embrace the apocalypse usered
instead:.snow .flake { background: #ccc; }
-
@nomadic , thanks for the tip, I think, respect apocalypse, I'll select red
-
@Catweazle Just a warning, this will change in the next version. I overlooked that one in the initial review and pushed a commit a couple of days ago prepending the classes with
vfm-
. Generally all classes introduced are named this way to prevent clashing with nodeBB or Vivaldi in future. And running the dark mode flag is of course a matter of preference, but I wouldn’t do it on desktop. Use an extension instead, if you need it on every page, e.g. Dark Reader.Btw, there are two different dark mode flags on desktop. The one you are using is the one from
vivaldi://flags
and this is an ugly inverter. Extensions or userscripts invert too, but generally do a far better job at it. The other one (the one I am using) is the startup flag--force-dark-mode
, which forces dark mode on websites which already provide a dark version, independent from your operating system theming. -
@luetage , thanks, I'll check it

New theme drop:
{"themeName":"Kanagawa","colorBg":"#1f1f28","colorFg":"#dcd7ba","colorHi":"#6a9589","colorAc":"#2a2a37","colorLi":"#658594","colorCo":"#e6c384","colorDd":"#223249"}

@bariton Hey, you have restricted chat messages, I’d like to get in contact with you.
-
@luetage Oh sorry, what can I do for you?
-
I have the terrible suspicion that all fresh installs are broken for users, as are installs which are reset to default. The problem can be fixed by visiting the options page, enabling the schedule and reloading the page. I’ll do a proper fix for the next version, meanwhile we are stuck with this mess I’m afraid
@bariton I’m in the midst of changing/adding to the default themes. I’d like to get Gitlook on board for the next version. Would you be willing to create a light version for it?
-
@luetage Yes sure, need to take a look first whats available at github, and which light version you prefer.
PS: chat should work now.
-
@luetage I know what broke everything now, it was a single dash instead of an underscore in one theme name…
-
By chance, does someone happen to know how to hide the tooltips in the submenu?
-
@luetage Don't think there is a way with CSS, but you could probably use JS to remove the title attributes.
-
@nomadic I hoped to avoid Javascript so people can do it with custom CSS. The question is now: Report it to Vivaldi, fix it for everyone or do a switchable modification?
-
version 5.0 release
- Eight additional default themes, adjustments for existing themes
- Fix for a bug that messed with the themes on install and reset (sorry for that one)
- Removal of downloads permission
There were quite a few changes under the hood, that’s why this is a major version release. A special thank you @bariton for creating the GitLook themes, which are now a part of the default themes. Speaking of which, you can get the new themes by revisiting the first post of this topic, I’ve updated it and included them. The only other way to get the themes is to either reset or reinstall the extension. Make sure to export your own creations (themes and user CSS) first before taking that step.
Thank you for using the forum mod!
