New look, new feature – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 3483.4

mossman

@iAN-CooG I don't mind the slightly larger padding (to my own surprise - I find most modern software has far too much space and was expecting this to be the same)... but I switched back to compact because page tabs just look like random floating buttons instead of... you know... tabs (connected to the document like good old fashioned... err... document tabs).

actual tabs!

I'm already using the new "Regular" UI density ever since I've discovered it by accident in Vivaldi 6.9. Good job on the refreshed look!

Not exactly circular but close. The active tab in second row:

@DoctorG I think it's fixed. Last warning was almost a day a ago.
Thanks!

I really liked this new UI change! In addition, I have some advice:
How about changing the Vivaldi menu? It kinda looks odd on it.
Also, it is somewhat difficult to manage extensions; Always have to type "vivaldi:extensions" on the tab bar.

I use a bookmark for internal links. Is such not a solution for you?

..me too.
These are everywhere...even the rounded corners were not necessary. And now, with the "oval" design, it is overdone. At least in Vivaldi have the option to stay with the OG styles.

Yes, they were nessecary.
Considering how many vivaldi css mods are out there for rounded tabs, there were nessecary to be added at least as an option.
Now all these mods can be done without that many css changes they were needed before.
It is very easy now, way easier than before for someone to create a Firefox css clone for Vivaldi or a Brave css clone or an Opera css clone.
Main competitors of Vivaldi are browsers like Opera, Brave and Firefox, not Chrome.
Having the same style like these browsers as default, they all use rounded tabs, will very likely attract more users and they may consider to switch to Vivaldi.

Here you are:

@g_bartsch

try this to improve the item background when you select it

/* tidies up the background in bookmarks panel when item selected and spacing reduced to 18 */
.vivaldi-tree .tree-row label {
    min-height: 10px; 
}

7.0 or 6.10?

DoctorG

@rtransformation We have no 7.0 yet

You have to admit that 7 is cooler.

@adacom Thank you. Hmm? It didn't change anything here.

I am using 20 rather than 18 because with 18 the icons are partly chopped off. But for this test I set the setting to 18.

I was sure I added this as a feature request but looked through all feature requests by me and didn't see one. I did find this text I wrote in reply in a 2018 feature request by someone else about a different issue: "I badly want to make the font smaller in the bookmark panel and reduce the line spacing between items with the goal of being able see more items before having to scroll. This idea applies to History, Workspaces, etc. In the past I had been able to customize the UI to achieve this but cannot now."

I made a feature request.

@g_bartsch - odd - it works for me but i run all sorts of changes in the panels so maybe the mod adds to one of those

this is with original code

this is with my change

its not much of a change but it trims a couple of pixels off the top edge

reducing it any more cuts the top off the icon [for me]
