Snapshot 1.0.249.12 - Web Panels, Extension buttons UI, Progress bar info and tab performance improvements
-
Alright, passed the excitement of the new build, here are the new bugs:
-Sometimes, clicking on the menu items (File, Tools, etc.) will cause the submenus to open and close right away, without a second click;
-Clicking twice in the menu bar will cause the window to resize (Native Window unchecked);
-Sometimes clicking outside of the drop menu will not close it;
-Sometimes Extension drop menus won't be displayed when interacted with through the Extension Icons on the Navigation Bar;
-Right clicking on the Speed Dial at the bottom of the screen causes the drop menu to appear in weird places, including at the Windows Task Bar;
-As always, first initialization of Vivaldi after the update starts a new window without any of your previous progress saved, requiring you to click on the trash bin icon and restore your previous window.Those are the ones I found on my first try. Now, for a few things that still bother me:
-"Use Page Theme Color" appears under Appearance and Tabs, in Settings. It's redundant! The one under Tabs should alter the color scheme of the Tabs alone, and the one under Appearance should change the color scheme of the UI (address bar, bookmarks bar) alone - and even have an option to not change the color of the bookmarks bar.
-Speed Dial issues still there, with no option to remove the X button that appears on hover, and Dials still not displaying images correctly. I do love how you disabled animations, though, as that makes loading and navigation MUCH faster for me. Also, add options for more rows and Dials size.
-Address and Search Bass colored as the theme color, as opposed to having their own pallet. I'd like those to be white and be flashed out, as opposed to blend in with the UI.
-As usual, Disqus, Facebook and Google+ issues discussed previously still exist in Vivaldi alone.Thanks for the new build. There's a lot of things I loved about it, a few bugs returned, and some new were born. Keep up the good work! And I believe we're getting close to a Beta version (maybe by the end of the year?), as you're working on performance improvements - something you said you wouldn't bother to do on a code that could change completely later on. So, I guess you're satisfied with how things are working now? Either way, bring us more builds! Keep it up!

Finally an update I can chew on with the extension buttons. One gripe I have before I can finally switch over to Vivaldi right now is the extension Multi Login. It doesn't seem to work for Vivaldi. Will it ever be supported in Vivaldi?
-
Wow & Thank you!
- It seems so much faster now. As we all said when Opera 12 was discontinued, the subjective feeling of speed depends as much on a snappy UI as on the pure page rendering performance.
- Extension buttons! This had been frustrating me since the start - I use LastPass and Evernote, and missed those buttons a lot. Also, User Agent Switcher should work now, meaning I'll be able to use WhatsApp Web.
- Regression: Ctrl+Mousewheel doesn't zoom anymore.
-
Great, thanks a lot. For some reason my vivaldi missed system flash plugin, detects only pepperflash, and papperflash don't use my 5.1 sound system for unknown reason, so… how can i fix system flash plugin?
-
Noticed here as well. There appears no setting to cure it ATM.
-
BUG => Disconnecting from VPN Connections/Proxifier sometimes results in a hard crash…
-
In Vivaldi, there has never been an option to not remember passwords.
-
Awesome - one of the most welcome updates ever.
A great german- english dictionary for the sidebar: http://dict.tu-chemnitz.de/?mini=1 used it in Opera for ages…
Good to finally have buttons for extensions!
One thing: the dark theme needs better contrast. I can hardly see the page progress numbers in the address bar and when clicking on the "bookmark" symbol on the left of the address bar, the entries in the dropdown for where the bookmark should go are completely unreadable, you have to mouse-over each one to read them.
I totally love the dark theme (not using page colours here) but hope that the contrasts can be improved in future updates!Thank you so much!
Cheers
Tom

Seems a universal problem that Bookmarks in bookmarks bar always open in new tab. Perhaps the blog post should be amended to add this as a known issue.
-
just wondering, is it possible to find the download speed of downloads
-
Great to have extension icons. I'm one of those left tab bar people that had 160 tabs open back in Opera 12. Thanks for the known issues note. I thought it's my computer.
This one's been happening for a while:
bug: browsing history (when holding down the back button) sometimes all get replaced by the current page. Happened after upgrading to this snapshot. Not sure if it's browser init or upgrade or something else. It didn't happen when I tried to close and reopen the browser to test it. -
You can fix the extensions getting disabled on each vivaldi start by uninstalling and re-installing the extensions once - drove me nuts for a while but after doing it once it's stable now for me since.
-
Yeah, the dark theme definitely needs more contrast (I use it with page colours disabled). Several areas are completely unreadable.
-
When I click a bookmark link from the bookmark bar it opens in a new TAB not in the same TAB.
Is there a fix for this? -
The same problem here. No flash player, so cannot play videos on BBC. Downloading and installing Flash again didn't make any difference. Only one plugin shows up in the plugins page — for the Chromium PDF viewer.

The sluggish Speed Dial animations seem to have been disabled… This is GOOD !
-
Add an option to hide specific extension icons. Hope the bug's will be fixed very soon. The look's great anyway
-
click the + button again, this should hide the dialoge.
-
This would make a really good feature… a Download Speed Indicator next to that 2 other useful indicators...
