New look, new feature – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 3483.4

@ian-coog: No worries, but I would recommend giving it more than 30 seconds to give it a proper try If you still don't like it a few days later, you have the setting available. That's the great thing about Vivaldi.

@atlemo The new icons are really nice IMO.

Just noticed my custom theme didn't update the icons automagically. But it doesn't really use custom icons, I still have the old ones set. So that's weird.

But a quick fix would of course be to copy the standard Dark theme, set the colours and everything like my theme. At least I don't have a problem with that

EDIT: Oh I get it - the new themes have custom icons - they are not the default ones which are still there. So I unset the back/forward/reload buttons only as these are the ones I see all the time and I'm so used to them being < and >. But the new panel icons are still sweet.

Excited about the Dashboard. Will we be able to add multiple of the same widget? For example two RSS widgets from different sources.

@ruulrskybound You can add multiple of different feed widgets.

I don't like rounded Tabs and also rounded URL-bar. Square tabs forever!

I also don't like default look where URL-bar in the center, missing Search and gaps on the panel.

I am waiting for more customization options for Speed Dial where you can change dials to list view similar to android version.

Love the how the new option adds one more parameter to the mix. My immediate favourite is going all square with the extra spacing turned on, especially on a large display.

It would be cool to have this on a per-theme basis and be able to control inner padding as well.

@lonm: Awesome!
BTW, is an option to make accordion stacks expanded by default on the roadmap? Auto-expand is cool but IMO there's too much movement/animation on the tab bar when switching between different stacks.

Hi, nice icons indeed but ...
I find the padding to aggressive at bottom but the spaces between pinned tabs are great.
I change it to:

very interesting gui changes

I really love the more spacious interface! And the new themes are very lovely as well, I particularly like the new Paint theme!

Kudos @atlemo

Since my current tab bar looks like this:

... I wonder how it will look like after the update!

The cosmetic touches are welcome. But why haven't you included the first (white) line of the internal pages (top of the speed dial) in the theme background?
PS I really find the new look very appealing!

@cheekybuddha: For you, sir, I recommend staying with Compact

atlemo

@nutcracker: We have some ideas, but there are a lot of issues with contrast when doing that.

I think I might take a snapshot before updating, just in case ...

CLEAN UP ALL THE TABS!

Great work! I miss in the new dashboard a widget for latest "notes" created with Vivaldi Notes

Bard.Viv...

This is great, it was expected that once in 10 years, the design would be changed.

But is it possible to have icons displayed in the context menus and in the browser menu as standard, as well as blurring in the interface and in context menus, and a new browser icon?

My hot take is that I do not like the new regular 'non compact' style. I think Firefox had the floating tab look for a while and it's something that I don't like. The option to have a regular and compact view is appreciated.

As for the new icons, some I like, some I don't. I think most on the side panel look really good. The navigation icons, maybe I'm not used to but I don't like them as much. I liked the old arrows.

A few stand out to me. I don't like the new home icon that's probably the main one for me. I didn't recognize what the translate icon was, to me it is not suggestive of its function. I would say the same thing about the Capture Page icon - the camera was more informative. I also think the cloud made more sense for Sync than the new laptop/phone icon.

Is there an option to mix between the two icon sets?
