A New Vivaldi – A Whole New Browsing Experience
-
@mossman Bookmarks are for references I intend to come back over and over again in the future. Tabs are for resources that help during research / decision making / implementation and can be discarded once a particular matter has been dealt with. Plus also operational stuff like movies, albums, forums, programmes, feeds etc. It all serves as VISUAL active reminder. If I don't deal with it in time I process the particular tab stacks in particular workspace and either throw it away or bookmark a sub-set off it for future reference. Generally I don't browse through Bookmarks, as it is not visual and flexible enough. 1000 tabs is not that many tabs if you realize the workspaces are contextual - i.e. one for music, one for movies, one for computer & phone, one for food & clothes, one for house & diy etc.

I don't like the round address bar and I don't like the round tabs. Is it possible to have the old style back?
Edit: found out it is in the Themes, Editor settings.
-
@RadekPilich Well I would (and do) still just make folders with bookmarks (for likely-to-keep pages) or sessions (for research) in those cases. There's no way my humble brain could actively monitor 1000 pages all day every day.

I honestly do not understand tab hoarding at all. That's what bookmarks are for!

It seems that we should go to the doctor, as I don't understand it either.
-
@mossman @barbudo2005 I will accompany you : -)
-
@mossman that's why I was writing the explainer - I don't work with 1000 tabs, at any time I have like 20-200 tabs in a given workspace organized in tab stacks. I actively monitor names of renamed tab stacks. Which is actually LESS overwhelming then if I had to navigate through hierarchical list of bookmark folders! The whole point of doing this is to make it possible for me to function with pretty weak executive functioning / memory / attention.
-
@Stoodle U must play around custom apperence settings and lower round corners etc.
-
I updated one of my Vivaldi Stable installation and saw annoying popup related to Sync. I do not use Sync feature and I never enabled it. I would like to never see such a popups in the future. Not a big issue but a small annoyance.
-
The new navigation icons are uh...not good. Smaller heads on arrows makes them less instantly readable. The hexagon around the stop loading icon takes focus away from the "x" inside. These icons may have slightly more "character" but they're far less readable.
-
@gctypo, if you don't like it, you can use the old icons in the Theme settings.
-
@atlemo said in A New Vivaldi – A Whole New Browsing Experience:
If you also want the old icon set, disable "Use Icon Set From" directly under the theme editor.
Then it will be literally unchanged from 6.9. Enjoy!Nothing happened when I did that BTW, what worked for me was leaving it enabled and selecting anything other than Current Theme - I left it on "Human" but I have the same old icons in all 3 themes (the ones where the Home button doesn't look like I'm trying to go to the Pentagon's webpage lol).

@zir4n
Hi, all old themes are on the Vivaldi themes page, I use Human too and don't like the new background image.

If you want to edit existing themes you can change all other settings following this sticky tread:

try subtle
-
Why try anything else? My problem is fixed, the buttons look like I'm used to, I'm not changing the theme, just the buttons, and that works with any selection except Current Theme (or with disabling the icons checkbox, that just keeps the v7.0 buttons that I don't like).
-
@atlemo but i want no rounding at all and it still has all context menus rounded. I hate rounded corners it makes everything look like making stuff toddler-safe.
-
@Treap
Hi, did you set Compact Menu too?
-
@mib2berlin ah, yes, missed that one. thanks!
-
@Treap
You can download the pre 7.0 themes on:
https://themes.vivaldi.net/categories/vivaldi-official
With both Compact settings enabled it should look exactly like 6.9.Cheers, mib
-
@mib2berlin as You already mention it: Do You maybe know if there are any that look like early versions of Vivaldi?
-
@Treap Had you already sorted the Vivaldi Officials by Oldest?
