Solved V 6.7 | Context Menu | Rollback Font / Size
-
What i'm getting from this whole thing is that the Vivaldi team has literally no control over their "own" browser, if you can call it that. It's been made perfectly clear that Google dictates how everything should look, work and feel. Such a shame.

@MineBill Vivaldi built its own UI over the Chromium code, precisely to allow more control and customisation. However, they still have little control over the underlying code.
It is hard to fix a change like this because the Chromium code needs to be fixed by Vivaldi and maintained with each update of the underlying code.

Hi,
You have very few information about how this works.Aside from Pesala's, learn about to understand it by reading the Blog and previous topics like
https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/81166/pulling-the-plug-on-expired-operating-systems
https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/79579/manifest-v3-webrequest-and-ad-blockersand others.

@BunxBun said in Poor Desktop UI V6.7:
The update to V6.7 brought other browsers touchscreen UI with it. There is a compact menu option I found but that doesn't fix other UI elements such as the close all windows dialog box.
Is there anyway to disable this UI garbage? Where is the proper place to give feedback to Vivaldi to not continue like this? I thought I finally found a browser that wasn't going to pull this garbage but here we are.
Are you talking about the new window menus in Vivaldi 6.7? I see a weird change in style and text in the menubar and also when I right click on my tabbar. I assumed it was some kind of bug?
-
Never mind, I've already found a fix:

Not even remotely accurate. Plenty of code from Chromium Vivaldi has not included to protect privacy alone. Then see @Pesala post right after yours.

Complain to Chrome; it is not Vivaldi who did this
That's not a good argument though, Vivaldi is here the end-product, so all complaints should and naturally go towards it, Vivaldi has the "obligation" to fix its problems if it wants to continue offering its distinct, defined concept and language. Otherwise the picture is not good as clearly shown in this thread and elsewhere.
-
@SkyBorg Removing or blocking though. Changing underlying stuff needs to be proven by their actions in the cases like this one, and from what I read they won't or can't do it. In the bigger picture they can't fork Chromium so basically they are perpetual "slaves" to it.

This change is dumb. The menus and UI should be based on the native OS configuration. I have everything configured in my OS for my already bad eyesight. If I wanted things to be bigger, I'd tell my OS that in any case. The new menus are so utterly huge they don't fit on my ultrawide monitor.
- Just counted, 20 menu items is the max I get now. This is absolutely awful.

In the latest version of Vivaldi, 6.7.3329.17, Vivaldi has the same context menu (right-click anywhere) as Chrome. It is not a step forward. This menu is better looking, but it requires much more cursor movement because there are so few commands in a large space, and commands are stretched too much, they have 2-row spacing.
If I wanted this kind of context menu, I'd use Chrome. You had better bring back the old context menu, with much more options, and with less cursor movement we must have to use it. It is a big step backward for Vivaldi.

When I upgraded to Vivaldi 6.7, I noticed that the text size for the main menu, bookmarks menus, and right-click menu had changed. Now, instead of being the same as every other application on my computer, it's larger. Is there a way to change this? I find it very annoying, especially as it means that the right-click menu is large enough that I need to scroll to get to what I want practically every single time.

Hi, search for "compact" in the settings search field.

The laziness of the users is the last straw. The solution to the "problem" is in the second post and users have asked the same question 25 times.
Don't be lazy and start reading a thread from the beginning.

I'm merging the New Topics here.
AFAIK,
They has to be notified about the merged Topic.But,
They are not even looking at the 2 latest pages of recent Topics, nor searching about that before post.

@Zalex108 The problem throughout all these (10) years is the Main Page of course, nobody understands he/she should click on "Desktop" as long as he sees his OS underneath. It is perceived as a general Header/Title.
️ A quick mock-up about how it could be made more understandable...
