@Stardust Of course it looks better and slicker than the new slop with added hearts.

I don't have opinion about
yet..

@Stardust Well that is easy to imagine heh, take a good look at OP's image then imagine that text and heart on the badass slick pre 7.2 splash screen
-
@npro I can further help you imagining it with this:

It only could look good on very dark background..
-
@Stardust Or it could look like this:
-
@npro are you suggesting a new splash feature to display a new photo from you photo library on every start? Could work on dashboard though.
-
@Stardust Not from my photo library, from an AI gathering all the hearts photos of the internet, I'm a totally new person after 7.2 , full of love
-
@npro I see. As a temporary solution we can use Vivaldi in Private mode because splash screen hasn't changed much (7.2.3640.3 here)

I dislike the "Made in Europe" message, but I can't express my opinion because it's considered "politics". Yet, being censored (blocked), isn't it a political act ?
To reply to @WerewolfAX :
https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/822593
-> So, according to you, only Europeans should help and/or work on/with Vivaldi ? Are Russians allowed ? Are Chinese allowed ? Turkish ? South-americans ? Africans ? ... ? -

Your thread was blocked because you tried to turn this into a political issue. That kind of discussion is contrary to the code of conduct for this forum. I have had my own thread locked because another user did the same.
Please stick to the topic and limit your comments to the design or function of the splash screen.

@WerewolfAX I also see the splash screen when switching browsers after being idle for a few minutes, so I see multiple times a day.
I also highly doubt that a simple background color change as any performance impact. -
@npro I upvoted OPs post. Its funny I never really noticed the splash screen before but now with the new one it really draws in the eyes. If you had asked me before 7.2 I would as said that there is no splash screen.

Yes, like I said at the end of my post: Simply reacting to light/dark theme (like before) or even allowing to switch to a simple, solid color instead should be no issue in performance. (I also preferred the darker one on startup tbh, that prevented that short "flash", but at least I was not bothered yet, but that's individual taste so I understand if you are) - I just had the impression that some people want to have a full-blown customization for that rarely visible screen, including logo, text, whatever and that you need to draw a line somewhere in this probably “UI-blocking” case.
@GoustiFruit said in Please let us modify the new Splash Screen:

Not at all, and you are again reading too much into it: As you may know from the “Made in ...” line on nearly every product since I don't know how many centuries, it just means the geographic location where a product was (mainly) created or released. It does not refer to the nation of workers involved. Also, it is not specified, whether you put a single city, country, or continent there. That's why there are lines in a spectrum from “Designed by Apple in California” up to “Made on Earth by Humans” on circuit boards.
In both examples, there are people from all over the world involved in the construction and development of the product, but the printed tagline means the main operation location where the product was “birthed” from. Even when (in case of a physical product) it is assembled somewhere else. Some add an additional "assembled in"-line then, though.
tl;dr: The "made in" line refers to the geo-location where a product is primarily originated, it does not include (or exclude) workers/developers/manufacturers/supplier nations involved in the process.

Same, old splash screen was discreet, non-intrusive.

Yea, a full-blown customization just for splash screen would be too much even for Vivaldi.
I just need discreet, non-intrusive splash screen like we had before.

I agree, I don't need a full blown customization. Just use the colors that are already defined in the theme settings:
This way, if you have a light or dark theme, the splash screen will not be flashing with a totally different color.

Since so many people have shared their dislike for the new splash screen message, let me (a non-European citizen) share my like for it

@maniac0 Seriously?

Just to clear up a misunderstanding that doesn't appear to have been addressed, the splash screen isn't generated from HTML.
The splash screen stopped being HTML in a successful push for increased speed back when the new portals method of handling multiple windows was introduced.
You used to be able to edit the splash screen in
browser.html, but now the splash screen shows up before the rendering of HTML is active. This could have implications with the feasibility in making it adapt to custom theme colors, but not sure how difficult it would be. -

I think he is serious enough, as well the 20 people that have upvoted him already. Are you?
