@182jd As is know a Mr. Whöver is not working in Vivaldi Team.

I've mentioned the size since on my use, on a big screen, I don't care about a small bigger size on the UI except on a 14" or lower.

Being
14" 100% 1368*
24" or more 100/125% 1920*

Even on 14" would fit fine the regular layout, ot will depend on other things too.

My long standing disagreement is why accent color options are enabled by default?

Why most of the users would want to use colorful UI constantly changing depending on the site you're on? It's so distracting!

I think I saw a couple of comments about it in the main thread.

It's to show off the capabilities of Vivaldi to a new user but just like everything else in Vivaldi it can be disabled with one button

I think not all capabilities worth to show off. More things to disable on fresh installation..

BTW do you use accent colors?

@Stardust Nice to know i can but not necessary in my setup

Yea, those settings are hidden under Editor, which is hard to find and not user-friendly. Even Search won't help you here.

PS: nice not-very-rounded tabs there

mikeyb2001

@Stardust its pretty good for the limitations and what its trying to copy

@mikeyb2001 did you get the rounded tabs through the CSS stuff or did you find another way? couldn't get my head around it and gave up after half an hour the last time i commented in this thread, but i keep managing to click on the stupid gaps between the tabs and it keeps distracting me from remembering what it was i was trying to do (put on music, check messages, etc.)

mikeyb2001

@redwolftrash iits in theme editor Corner rounding between 10-14

Pesala

I usually leave the default setup alone on the Stable build so that I see what new users and upgraders see, but in this case, to avoid distraction when I do launch the Stable version, I have:

Settings, Appearance, User Interface Density, Compact
Settings, Appearance, User Interface Density, Compact Menu Layout
Settings, Start Page, Disable

Bentus

Seeing nobody asked for this "update" and there's no one-click keep-the-old-UI option, I guess it's time to look for a new main browser.

mikeyb2001

@Pesala not sure if he was asking for that or just how i rounded the corners

mikeyb2001

@Bentus well you could go through signing into everything again or just click 2 buttons in settings

Folgore101

@Bentus So, to recap, since you can't go back to the old look with one check, but have to put 3 checks do:
1 - Look for a new browser;
2 - Download it;
3 - You install it;
4 - Make several clicks to set it up as you like and import your data.

There's something strange about your logic.

@Folgore101 Addendum:

Wait until the new browser changes the UI at some point, with absolutely no option to go back at all
Complain on new browser forum there is no one-click option to go back
Find a new browser
... etc ad inifinitum.

Bentus

@mikeyb2001 The only viable option is a prompt at launch after update that asks you if you want OR NOT use it.
Having to go into twelve different settings and tweak internal code might work for the sick lunatic who designed this update and that should be fired on the spot, but not for 99.99% of people.

It's one setting.
One. Single. Setting...

@Zalex108 I'd offer apologies, if the opportunistic hypocrisy wasn't utterly clear and present - in this threat alone. Sarcasm is apparently fine if it's pro-Vivaldi and/or used to harshly put down negative feedback. When used to point out flaws, you can simply point to how we're all supposed to smile and hug - rather than provide an actual response.
Like I'm practicing hate-speech, rallying to bomb HQ.

Cry me a river.
